We are amazed at how well Hannah is doing! She slept for 3 hours this afternoon, and then we went to get a family picture taken for the adoption. After that we walked across the street to the West Lake and took a few pictures. The West Lake is so beautiful! After that we went out to eat with our guide and the other family in our group. Hannah was squealing all through dinner, and then when we returned to the hotel, she had so much fun going up the steps and running around, playing with us. She is such a happy girl! We went back to the room and she had her first bath. She wasn't sure of it at first, but slowly warmed up to going in to the tub to play with the stacking cups. We don't know if she's ever had a bath in a tub like this, so we slowly introduced her to it slowly. She had fun so much fun splashing Mommy and playing with the cups. After an hour of playing, we convinced her to come out. Then we Skyped the boys, and Hannah got to see her two geh gehs (big brothers) for the first time. Elijah said she is very pretty but doesn't talk much! She was really tired when we were on the phone, so she just stared at the screen. We knew she was tired because she's been babbling and squealing all day, and has only been quiet when we are walking around outside. She is taking everything in and is loving all of the attention she is getting from Mama and Baba. She doesn't want either of us out of her sight. She still prefers Daddy to hold her most of the time, but wants Mommy with her as well. We are so incredibly blessed!
