So Small

Haddie was up at 4:40 this morning with a #2 waiting to be changed. We have been told that the 1st BM is theirs (food from the orphanage) and the 2nd is ours. It is a momentous occasion when that second one happens because one way their bodies show stress is through constipation. We are adding a picture just to show you how small her hands are. She is so tiny... She does have a pretty loud cry which she shared with us last night telling us she didn't think going to bed was such a great idea! She does walk but only holding someone's hand and she is not real steady. She adores being held and loves to sit on Dad's lap. She hasn't played anyfavorites yet and even initiates smiles. For breakfast she drank a whole glass of milk with Instant Carnation Breakfast mixed in, about 6 bites of scrambled eggs, 3/4 of a banana and 2 bowls of congee (a soupy rice something or other.) She did feed herself with a spoon with the congee. She doesn't make many noises and basically stays where you put her. We did get looks from other Chinese people in the restaurant last night and it was obvious they were talking about her ears. Our choice of strategy is to look them in the eye and smile. Off to get caffeine to get through the morning. Thank you again for sharing our joy!.
