Storme'n in

Well we are on day 3 together and having a ball. Baby J sure is a giggle gus. We have loads of fun playing with her toys, making funny noises, dancing around and just being together. Today we walked around in the lobby and had several people come up and make a point to meet her. Each of them commented on how adorable she is AND what a good baby she seems to be! AMEN! I could tell one woman (who is adopting a 9 month old baby and will be taking her home to Italy) felt a twang of jealousy as she longingly looked at J and said, “she seems so quiet”. Now, don’t get me wrong, when she is unhappy she’ll let ya know! But, it’s that she is just an overall happy baby girl! Other than the necessary dirty diaper, hunger, sleepy and once-in-a-while-just-want-lovin’ cries, it’s mostly giggles, gurgles and grins.

We have been taking lots of pictures and videos for h!! We sure miss her, but know we will soon be together!! Thank goodness for AIM, e-mail and VRS! It helps us stay connected everyday.

Thursday and yesterday the babe ate green peas for lunch. Today it was sweet potatoes. She seemed to show more interest in the sweet potatoes. I don’t blame her – they taste better than peas to me too! Laughing. I got her a sippy cup and she is beginning to drink plain water from it. It is fun to see her maneuver the cup and start drinking (sucking) from the spout!
Well, better sign off. Time for an evening stroll around the lobby. Love to all of you!! Pray for the appointment at the embassy to be Monday or Tuesday!!! We really can’t to get on that plane home!!!
