Our Beautiful Girl

Here are some pictures of Annika on day two of being with us (once we could actually get her to sit up away from us without screaming).Here she is before her bath with a slight case of bedhead. It was even worse this morning after having to rub elimite into it last night to treat the scabies.

This as at breakfast, enjoying a bowl of congee. Congee is basically really watery white rice. They serve it on the buffet and when we go out to dinner. Sometimes it has scallions floating in it and on the buffet there are all kinds of unrecognizable dried "goodies"to add in (no they aren't fruit, probably dried sea creatures like the ones at Wal-Mart yesterday).

Here she is enjoying fruit puffs at the notary office. This is shortly after she discovered the cute baby on the digital camera that she is soooo fond of.

I keep coming back to look at these pictures. Annika looks so sure of herself, in the midst of all that beauty. It's hard to believe she's 8 months old. It sounds like things are adjusting well for you guys, that is so great to hear.
