We have our beautiful girl! She walked right up to us and we exchanged Cheerios for the next half hour! I so wanted to scoop her up, but I kept my distance trying not to upset her.
It was so beautiful as Jake and Jie Ling welcomed their new baby sister. I was just in awe and still am.
I'm going to keep it short...she had a major melt down when I tried to put pants on her to go eat, and finally cried herself to sleep. I'm going to quickly eat and regroup hopefully before she wakes up.
She has had surgery on her foot, and they removed one toe. It looks awful, and I'm sure Ya Ya's outcome will be the same as Jie Lings. The bottom of her foot is just as big as Jie Ling's was and know from Jie Ling's surgery that that just can't be scooped out.
She is adorable with the cutest little voice. She plays with toys very rough, and just makes the cutest and sweetest little movements, though there is nothing prissy about her!! She seems like a very tough girl.
We love her so much!
Thank you God for this amazing gift!
