Day Two with little miss Kerry has gone very well so far. She slept straight throught the night from a little after 9 to around 6 am and when she woke up she was not unhappy to see us. She gobbled down a bottle of rice cereal and formula (thick and hot she likes them). We got dressed and headed down to to the breakfast buffet and she polished off some eggs and rice congee (kind of a rice soup). Then it was off to the civil affairs building to finalize the adoption and take a family photo for the certificate, and then to the notary office for another quick interview and paperwork. She started babbling for the first time since we got her and was playful and silly at the government offices. Man is this girl cute, and I think she's going to be something else as her personality unfolds! After that our guide, Helen, took us to Wal-Mart for diapers, wipes, juice and some other baby necessities. We got her a couple of little books which she loves. Her little hands and feet are constantly moving and touching things. The Wal-Mart here in NanChang is quite a bit different than what we have at home. First of all it has a parking garage underneath, and the store itself has two levels. They sell some things in the grocery, especiall,that you just don't see at home. Kerry has played a lot today and is smiling and babbling more and more, it's so awesome to see how she's just relaxing with us and trusting us. She has no problem making lots of eye contact which is a very good sign. She loves playing the typical baby games like "sharing" things with us and then taking it back, she loves having her feet played with and she loves her stacking cups and little books, and empty drink bottles and Pringles lids and things like that. She honestly seems content so far which makes my Mommy heart very happy. Thanks for all of your prayers and good wishes, it's really working. We are one very happy family.
She wore her "I love Daddy" pjs for fathers day last night and was sporting a bit of bed head this morning =)
