First Family Photo

First Smile


It's my Dad :)


First Sleep


Today Annelise became a part of our Forever Family. We went to the Civil Affairs office in Changsha, Hunan where we went up to the 3rd floor. The babies and nannies were already waiting for us. I knew which one was Annelise, but we had to wait until our turn to get her. She didn't cry at all, but was profoundly shell shocked. After a bit she warmed up to us and smiled. We gave her a bath as soon as we got back to the hotel (which cause some pretty good wailing) and dressed her in new clothes. She is perfect and we are falling in love with her. She is a tiny thing - thin and long for the weight. She is sleeping and we are exhausted, so I will post more tomorrow :) (As you can see, her hair has come in nicely :)
