Tomorrow will be 1 week since our sweetness walked into our lives and stole our hearts. Each day we have been learning a little more about her. She continues to be quiet and serious most of the times, and when she smiles it is treasured. She seems to be taking everything in. She loves riding around on me in either the sling or ergo. The sling has been a bit cooler, so we have been using that a little more often. Hannah responds to both her English or Chinese name. She is a great eater, and loves eggs. She will hand me the chopsticks to feed her, and use another pair to feed herself. She likes to eat by sitting on my lap, and today enjoyed french toast with her eggs. She LOVES chocolate...yes she is my daughter! She loves ketchup, and will dip food into it just to lick it off. Hannah is pretty much toilet trained, but we have been keeping pull ups on her just in case. She consistently uses "da" (for done" when she finishes with the toilet, and has the sweetest little voice. She is so delicate, using her hands so daintily. Hannah is a peanut, wearing a solid 12 month old size clothing. She has pretty dry skin, and loves to have lotion put on. She has such soft hair. Her attention span is remarkable for a 2 year old...yesterday she spent over 45 minutes playing with some play dough with me. She has great imitation skills, and likes to copy what she sees us doing. She is great riding in the taxis or plane. Bedtime is the hardest for her. She knows when everyone is getting ready, and becomes very somber. However, she no longer cries silently. When put into bed with me, she sits up until she falls asleep. This has been so hard for me to see, as she fights going off to sleep and refuses to get comfortable. Last night, she allowed me to hold her on my lap and she eventually put her head onto my chest as I sat with her to fall asleep. Once asleep, she will sleep through the night. When she wakes up, she likes hanging out on the bed, watching her sisters. We have been giving her a bath in the sink, and she likes to help wash herself. She didn't mind having water poured over her head. She will try to brush her teeth. She likes wearing dresses, and loves her pretty shoes. Her feet are so little! When we are out in the stores, she likes to hold onto something but has no difficulties giving things back...except for M&M's! We've discovered that they just might be her favorite food!

She sounds very sweet. It reminds me of Emmie...in China, she used to fall asleep standing up in her crib. It was the saddest thing I had ever seen. Happy to hear things are going better!
