Hello everyone!!!
This little one is a delight!!! She is smart as a whip and seems to be adjusting well!!! She gets soooo much attention with 3 siblings and is a ham!!! She slept sooo well last night, actually better than David and me!! When she woke, we could tell she wasn't quite sure she was so happy about where she was. She just layed there looking at all of us. I thought she was going to cry and then when I put my hands out to pick her up, she smiled and leaned toward me!!
She has a spunky side and doesn't like it when we tell her no, but she listens.
Her favorite game is the classic, "I throw it on the floor, you pick it up." She thinks it's pretty funny that she throws something and we all try to keep it from hitting the floor. She likes to pretend something is hilarious by putting her hand up to her mouth as she pretends to laugh.
We have some great news!!! She has feeling in her feet!!!!! According to the orphanage, she is walking. We have found that she can bear weight on her legs but prefers to sit and be carried. She really has little to no interest in standing and walking. She cannot get herself into the standing position but can sit up herself. It appears as though she has no visible symptoms from the spina bifida!!!!!! She will need to be evaluated when we arrive home because she could have issues down the road, but for now all appears to be REALLY good!!!
I have often commented on how chunky she is and yesterday we found out that after the orphanage found out she had a family, the staff started taking turns taking her home with them to spoil her!!!! : ) She had 4 nannies that rotated taking care of her and her "roommates." Everyone comments on how healthy she looks!
Today was a paperwork day. Tomorrow we go to the Beijing Zoo. Josh can't wait to see the pandas.
More later!!
Love,
Kirstie
