Day 6: Nanjing!

We have only had Jailyn for one day and it seems like she has been with us forever! Her personality has really come out today. She loves to play! We think that she weighs about 15 lbs. The 9 month outfits that I brought fit her perfectly! She loves to grab on to things - give her a shiny piece of paper and she is happy for hours! Jailyn is not walking, she can stand while holding on to something but is not cruising yet either. We did get her to crawl. She wasn't happy at first, because she is "Princess Jailyn" and mommy and daddy should come to her. But when mommy got down on the floor to crawl with her she thought that was funny! I can just see Conner and Jailyn crawling around the house. :) Jailyn is eating well. Loves her congee and rice cereal. She has really taken to the cleft lip/palate bottles. She also likes to mimic - very smart.

We went back to the adoption building today and signed papers that we accept the adoption of Jailyn. So she is officially ours!
We also went to the place Jailyn was found. It was an apartment/residential area. Very sad. I can't image what pain her birth mother was in to leave her there. I wonder if she still lived there. Probably!

Jailyn doesn't seem to like being in the car. Could mean a long flight home.

Tomorrow we actually have the entire day off - may go to a near by park to hang out.
In the afternoon we will go shopping for gifts for the orphange and we will go visit and deliver gifts on Friday.

Thank you for all your comments - makes us feel a little closer to home! Jodi is very homesick!!!

Love y'all!
Jodi
