Fun Details

Our first days with Madeline were so much fun.  Minutes after we received her we started more paper work.  Good thing I am a pro at this!  We went to a copy/photo shop for copies of our travel approval and pictures of the 3 of us for the adoption documents.  In the tiny shop Madeline started cracking up and saying MaMa and Baba (Daddy in Manderin).  The Chinese ladies were so happy to see this.  As we were leaving Madeline waved "bye-bye"

The first few moments together we ate Cherrios and played ball.  We wanted to see if she could walk so we each took turns feeding her as she walked back and forth.  She surely is an entertainer!

We went to dinner for Rice and Veggies.  She has amazing fine motor skills and can pick up the smallest piece of rice.  (She hates to see anything fall on the floor :-D)  We didn't try a bath the first night because she was super clean and why push.  We later have found that she hates the water and Mama has to get in with her and quickly wash her as she screams bloody murder.  Really that is the only thing that she hates so we are so THANKFUL!  I am sure that pool time in Texas will cure that fear.

The second day she again amazed us!  She decided that Mama was the only one who could hold her, which was great at first, but ask my right arm if it had fun ;-b)  She has so much fun interacting with Dada and her brothers.  This was the offical adoption day!  She is now Madeline Rose Landrum.
