It's Official!

We went back Tuesday to the Civil Affairs and we signed that we wanted Lauren and will never abandon her.  We didn't get as many smiles yesterday until about 8:30 pm she put a show on for us.  We found out that she went every night with her foster grandmother to exercise (ti-chi?) with other women before going to bed.  She was twirling and standing on her head.  We just laughed and laughed at her. 

She also slept with her foster grandmother so she is sleeping with Chad and I.  Maybe when we get to Guangzhou, we will put her in the crib. 

Monday night - doing her exercises
Her first bath
Tuesday, Us with our guide, orphanage director, and deputy orphanage director
She likes putting the stacking cups on her feet.
She wanted to try on all her clothes
She let Daddy hold her for a few minutes this morning.

Congratulations, she is officially yours! It was sweet to see the picture of her and daddy. It is funny that you brought up her doing Tai-chi with her foster parents because we are convinced that Selah did that also with her foster parents... some of the moves she does is just hilarious :) Glad you are having fun and bonding. She truly is beautiful.
