SHE'S HERE!!!

She's here!!!   We went to the registration office this morning.  4 or 6 kids were already there when we arrived.  One mother burst into tears and could hardly walk into the building seeing her daughter up there on the porch.  (We needed more time to adjust)

I went around playing photographer for the other families since they told us Fiona wouldn't be showing up for about another half hour or so. 

Lashi saw her first.  I handed off the cameras and went to the nanny who was holding her.  She was perfectly calm.  We almost thought she was half-asleep.  I talked to her for just a little bit, then picked her up with no problem.  She settled right in and let me hold her close and cuddle and kiss her.  Then she "woke up" a bit more and wanted to touch everything!  Her doll, everyone's hands and face, our name cards, everything.  She did awesome. 

She is very assertive, loves to explore and touch everything, though she doesn't crawl or walk, so she wants to hold our fingers and "be walked" everywhere.  She loves mirrors, she loves banging on things, and she loves food. 

We gave her snacks at the hotel, then we went to lunch and she was not shy about telling BaBa when he was not feeding her noodles fast enough.  She had her bottle and fell asleep while MaMa was upstairs doing paperwork for the finalization tomorrow.

PICTURE TIME!!!
