It was a Great Night, slept in our room by us, in the crib. She slept until 7 this morning, but we moved her in bed with us at 6, just rolling around in bed and being lazy. Kept opening her eyes and looking at us, smiling and then grabbing a hand and snoozing some more. Happy girl.
As I write this on the couch, she is playing with the boys on the floor, and crawled for the first time, for us! She is already blossoming in all the attention, so happy and smiling at Glo and all of us!
She is giggling and laughing, totally content. The only crying we got, was last night's bath to wash off the old O smell and make her fresh. She SCREAMED the whole time, the boys even got in with her in their underwear to show her it was fun. They got so scared of the volume and racket, they ran away soaking wet! She did NOT like the bath at all, now when we walk her by the bathroom, she casts a wary eye on it and get's serious. We will have to work on that one. I'm sure there are no baths at the O.
The gang is dancing now-to a toy that plays a tune, her rocking back and forth smiling at them. She is learning so much, so different than her past. Every time we came to visit her at the O, she was sitting in a corner just staring off somewhere-alone with her thoughts. We looked at pictures last night after she went to bed, and it looked like a different little girl back then when we would first see her every day, sad and alone with crazy tights pulled up past her belly, disheveled hair, dirty face. Sucking her thumb and waiting.
As I watched her sleep last night, I couldn't help but wonder what must she be thinking in her head? We will never know, but when she looked at us, smiled so big and stretched this morning, and laughed at the boys when they walked in sleepy and crawled in with us all- it must be good thoughts. Maybe thoughts of love?

So happy for all of you, she is beautiful - looks like the rest of the family - funny how that happens. I have enjoyed looking at all the pictures and reading the blogs - what a precious gift for her to have and read as she grows up. Glad to have Glorianne and Jerry back in P-burg, sure hope you all can come and visit soon. Say hi to Lois! Love, Jill Engell and gang
