We can't remember what life was like before Anna. The 3 years that we waited for her seems like ages ago. People say she's lucky we adopted her but it's really us who are the lucky ones. Our house is a mess; the dishes are dirty; the trash is full; the carpet needs vacuuming; the laundry is piling up; and the toys are everywhere. She's truly a blessing.
She had her first appointment with her pediatrician the other day. It was good and traumatic at the same time. She seemed to really like her doctor until it was time for shots - 3 of them! Daddy had a hard time more than she did. She got over it pretty quick. She still only weighs 15.5 lbs. and we can't believe she hasn't gained any weight since we came home from China. We need to fatten her up. We've been out & about with her quite a bit now. She gets better and better with each car ride. She's already been to the mall twice. She's even been to Juvenile Court where we have to file our papers to re-adopt her in California. She sleeps through the night with just a little bit of fussing. She usually takes 1 nap a day, maybe 2 if we're busy. She's currently cutting 3 or 4 new teeth, so she's been very moody. We're making plans for her 1st Birthday/Welcome Home party at the end of the month. This has been challenging since we only get small increments of time to do stuff. But I wouldn't change it for the world!
