It's Official!

Today (well, actually yesterday)was "paperwork day" in China. We had our official interview and promised to never abandon or abuse our daughter, and to educate her. Who would go through all of this insanity and not promise to do these things?! Ellie is adjusting well to our family. She is still very much a mama's girl, but I am able to walk away without her crying, and Katie is very good at distracting her! She's still a bit leary of Scott, but she has let him hold her without too much drama! Here are some more pictures of our girls!

Some things we've learned about Ellie: she is a two-fisted eater! She doesn't eat a lot, but she likes to have something in each hand! She likes carbs and watermelon a lot. She is a good sleeper, but doesn't like to be put in her crib until she's already asleep. Something tells me this didn't happen until she met us! She is also quite ticklish on her belly and by her ears. That's how we've gotten the best smiles so far. She doesn't like having her shirt taken on or off, and most of all, she definitely does not like a bath!!!! We thought it would be a good Kodak moment, but all we got was a very frightened, screaming like I've never heard before, child. Katie ran out of the bathroom!! We checked with other parents who have girls from the same orphanage, and they had the same reaction. We'll stick to a sponge bath for a while.
