Day two and the Spice Girl

So its official today was the day we did our legal paperwork and Sarah is now officially and legally ours :-) There are a total of 30 Baby’s going home from this Civil Affairs Office
It is amazing how many traits of her very strong personality will fit perfectly into our family, she is a very happy girl during the day and wow can she eat. I ordered the Won Ton soup for her and she ended up eating my bowl of Cream of Mushroom Soup and a few other things she got her hands on. She can feed herself and she wants to be very very independent. She is taking a bit longer to warm up to Daddy but she will let him sit down and play with the blocks with here or feed her when she is in my lap. She loves bananas and honey gram crackers, which where god sent last night when we tried to get her to sleep as it was the only thing that got her to stop crying after about an hour long fit before bed time.

Happy Girl when she is awake BUT throws a fit like you would not believe when she is suppose to sleep and you can tell this is when she wants her care giver. She woke up twice last night and the first time it took a while to get her back to sleep in our bed….lol………. I thought for sure the whole hotel would be awake. The second time I was able to rock her back to sleep fairly quickly but oh the tantrum today to get her to nap………. She was so tired and just exhausted herself to go to sleep but once she naps its for a good 2 – 3 hours.

She is a very smart girl that we can already tell she picks up much after just seeing it one time and her motor skills are amazing. Her favorite toy by far is the stacking cups we brought.
She is also suppose to be potty trained but with all these changes we are not taking any chances as we found out the girl eats and processes at the same level. So I think at this point sleep time will be our biggest challenge…. I think her brothers are in for a big surprise with this little one ……..lol….. she is a Motto no question about it.
