Gotcha day

Hello!!! We have been filled with the wonder and miracle of this wonderful sweet baby girl of ours. God is so good. We are so blessed. We can't believe how much in love we are with Sophia already - she is such a little spunky thing.

We got to the Civil Affairs office at 8:30. We sat down and we saw a nanny bring in two babies. One was apparently very upset. They were in another room so we were not sure which one was Sophie. Our facilitator told us Sophie was not the crying baby, but once they brought her to us, she was VERY upset. Daddy held her then mommy. She cried for about 10 minutes and then we got the bottle out which did the trick. She drank it well and then ate her filling of fruity Cheerios (thanks to the advice of the been there done that mommy, our friend Cathy). She then was playing and laughing and smiling. She has taken to us both equally so far.

She is a VERY tiny thing - she wears about a 6 month size and looks thin - daddy says give her a couple weeks with the Hopp snack drawer and she will be her right size in no time!!

She does have a little cough and we plan to take her to see the doctor just to be sure she is ok. She seems happy and content though. She is on the bed playing with her new toys. She is SOOOO smart - stacking cups and reading books and LOVING her sunglasses and her new baby doll. LOVES THE BABY DOLL!

She is in fact potty trained - her motion is a dress tug and then I take her in and she goes. I still have a diaper on her - she does not seem to mind the diaper.

We were told once the nanny gave her to us to be VERY careful - that even though she seems quiet because she is upset - she is WILD and will get into EVERYTHING! I guess we may need to Sophie proof the house more!

We will write later - we are just so in love with this little one that God has blessed us with.
