We've been home for one month now, and Meili continues to blossom. She now lets her brother and sisters carry her around the house, which they love. Meili is simply a very happy little girl who loves to laugh and listen to herself make
noises. She is discovering so many things for the first time and soaking it all in. The other day Scott said that if she were any happier we might think it was fake.I was thinking about some of the changes that have taken place since we were in China. Meili had only received 3-4 bottles a day with rice cereal in them but had not eaten solid food to our knowledge. In China, she would drink her bottle in about 3-4 minutes and just cry when it was gone. I know she thought this would be it until the next bottle feeding. As we began to accompany each bottle with solid food, she gradually learned that the bottle was a supplement to a meal. Today, she hardly drinks much from her bottle and mainly eats solid food.
We are so thankful for the way she has transitioned into our family and accepted our love.
It is so wonderful to see her so happy...and her sweet eyes! We will always remember those big, brown eyes looking at Matthew. Thanks so much for the beautiful flowers! They are gorgeous, and arrived on a day when I really needed them. We love and miss you all like crazy. We are going to see the Tichenors next weekend. It won't be the same without you all. Hugs and much love, Stephanie
