Yeah! We Got An Update!

It's not often that something is emailed to you that makes so unbelievably happy.  I'm talking, no words to describe happiness!  Lucky for me that happened this afternoon!   We received updated pictures and answers to the questions submitted to our agency.  First, the questions:

Family’s questions

 She sleeps in the crib on her own.

3. Does her mom rock her to sleep or is she given a bottle and placed in a crib?

Just lay her down in the crib with the towel in hand, no need to rock her.

3. How does her foster mom calm her when she is upset?

Usually the foster mom would give her a toy or something to calm her down.

She would play with toy in hand and stop crying.

They give her water by spoon.

Now for the pics!  In China it is normal to dress babies in layer upon layer.  Hence.... check out her red cheeks!

As for when Walt is going to pick her up?  Any day now, our agency will hear from China on that.  I think they will be home just after Easter!  (Stay Tuned)
