She finally sleeps...

She finally sleeps, I just triedd adding new picts and it wouldnt let me, I will see if flicker works, otherwise try again tomorrow. Its so fun to finally see the Blog! ALthough I have to say my spelling and grammar are a bit crazy, please keep in mind jet lag, two year old and the fact that I do most of my blogging late at night or squezzed into a fe wminutes during the day, therefor I dont usually edit it afterwards. :o)

Its so fun to read the comments, although I have gotten most of them by e-mail some were lost along the way. The ones from Grace and Noah just about made me lose it, thank goodness we are down to only 6 more nights :o) And yes Olivia will love and smile at both of you, she asks about you both, and talks about you whenever she sees other kids your age. Here are some answers to peoples comments and emails: Oliva is wearing 18 month clothing, 24 month fall off, even some of the 18 month are slightly big depending on the style, although its funny because other adoptive parents have commented on how big she is, but I think it is just because she is surrounded by so many little babies, since most of the adopted babies are around 10 months. She is very porportioned, and we will find out her weight tomorrow, if you have a size 18 month carters sleeper, she is exactly that size. Has she cried much? No, except when she doesnt get her way :o), her transition has been amazing. So smooth I actually worried about her bonding, I wondered if we left tomorrow and handed her over to someone else would she notice, well she definetly has bonded. Today when we switched hotels she let out her first cry when I tried to leave the room, she thought I was going byebye without her, we had big croc tears and everything. I think part of her easy transition is just her fun loving, out going social personality, and the other part is she was just very prepared. She already recongized us when we met, and her foster mother was called grandmother, so I am the only "mama" she has known. Mostly I think it was just a gift from God, under the circumstances I really needed a smooth transition and all the prayers came through. Potty trained? Yes, she does everything in the right place, but wears a pull up, she was brought to us in a diaper as well, for back up. Food? I am not enjoying the food quite as much as I did last time, (I hope we are ntojinxing you Jill, it seems to be a trend)but I am eating fine. I cant remeber any more questions...post them again if I forgot something, now that I can see them I can get to them easier...Oh yeah, No I never sleep, I love blogging too much! (It keeps me close to home, and gives me something to do when these little ones finally tucker out)

As fun as it is for you to see the new updates it is equally exciting for me to hear the love and suport of our family and friends back home, please keep the comments and e-mails coming.
