Dani is starting to come around and her personality is showing. We stopped the medicine she had which was knocking her out. She is much better, still quiet but has some great happy moments. She is finally napping (as this is being written) and has slept through the night. It looks like she is not going to be a fussy eater. She ate a bunch of different things for breakfast. She loves riding in her stroller.
The video below is from yesterday when we went to finalize the adoption. She is legally ours as of yesterday and now we just have to get OK'd by the U.S. government to bring her home. The women in the video and picture are from her orphanage. They were very nice and glad to see her get adopted. They gave us a photo album they made which has a few pictures of Dani when she was very young, as well as the camera we sent in the care package. They also gave us some wonderful Chinese New Year decorations. They hugged us when they left and it was pretty emotional. Never got to spend that kind of time with the orphanage folks when we adopted Leah. The director even called our guide David this morning to see how she was.
The weather here is not all that great. Right now it's in the 40's (2:00 pm local time), cloudy and rain of & on. It's supposed to be like this until we leave. Hopefully it will get better so we can take the girls outside for some walks & sight seeing.
A lot of people will be thrilled to see this a.m.'s post -- including yours truly! The girls look so cute together and Dani appears to be settling into Fisher Family mode pretty quickly. Can't wait for you guys to get back to US soil. Lots of love from Florida!!!
ReplyDeleteDave and Marny-----Mary Lou and I have been tagging along and enjoying the journey to Dani! We are thrilled for you all. She is so beautiful and we couldn't be happier for you and our Leah. What an adventure! We love you all, BTW, it's St. Patrick's Day and I will celebrate your good fortune with a pint of Guiness. Mary Lou is cooking an Irish meal for us: corned beef and cabbage, of course! Cheers, Michael and Mary Lou
