Reality kicks in

We had a great first night - she slept from 9:30pm to 6:30am. I wish I could say the same. I guess this time change and jet lag has my sleep all messed up. Chris slept well though, so that's good.

I think reality set in for Mia today. When she woke up, she just looked around in shock. She cried a lot today and was very clingy to me. But as you can see above, she let Chris hold her briefly today and feed her some Cherios! He held her for a fair amount of time AFTER she fell asleep this afternoon. Baby steps - I think she is coming around and I'm glad he got to hold her today.

Today we went back to the Guangzhou Center for Adoption Affairs (not sure if this is the official name) and had our pictures taken with Mia for the official record. She screamed and cried the entire time, so that should make for a good one! We were asked questions about why we wanted to adopt from China by several different officials. I guess we passed b/c they let us keep her. Tomorrow we don't have anything to do until 3:15pm - so maybe we will have time to shop or go to the park.

Thanks for all of your emails and comments!!!! They really help us feel connected to home. Love you Jacob and Zachary!!!!!
