We have had a marvelous day with Jillian. She is such a happy baby. She smiles and laughs and coos constantly. everything they stated about her health and habits has been exact. We are so lucky. She was examined by the U.S. doctor tonight and is right on target and very healthy. She had a couple of bottles today, applejuice and water mix, and this evening had congi(overcooked rice in water) and steamed eggs that looked like custard. She has a great appetite!! When we came back from dinner she rubbed her eyes and I laid her in the crib and off she went. She also had a 3 hour nap this afternoon.
We had given her a bath in a blow up tub that we brought and she didn't love it but when it was over she was so happy to be clean. I stuck a bow in her hair. She is so adorable...I can't stop stairing at her and what a personality. Anyway, so far so good. We are in heaven! Don't forget to look at the pictures for Gotcha Day. click on Gotcha Day on top right of blog. Paul was so good about taking pictures and video of everybody. It was easy for him as Jillian was so content with me just watching most of the other babies cry. She is able to cry when she is hungry,wet or tired which is good.
