Sleeping Beauty



It's a little hard to see in this picture but here she is fast asleep with her middle and ring fingers in her mouth. That's what she does when she's tired and then she just lies down on her own and falls asleep. She was really stuffed up yesterday but before bed we gave her some decongestant and it worked like a charm. She fell asleep shortly after 10:00 pm last night (only because it took us forever to get her bathed and she didn't seem impressed with the bottle either). Anyway, she slept right through and she's still sleeping now at 7:15 am. We're off to do the final paperwork to make her an official Carmody today. We board the bus at 8:30 to go to the Civil Affairs Office again where this is done. I think it's an all morning thing. Looks like we may have to wake her up to get her dressed and to get breakfast for us all if we are going to be on time. I'm hoping to do a bit of shopping this afternoon too because most of the onesies (undershirts) I brought for her are too small. Who knew she'd be such a chunky monkey?

Thr finger sucking seems very familiar. She's beautiful! How is Guangzhou? It's hard to believe we were there just a few weeks ago.
Happy shopping on Shamian Island.

Congratulations to Samara and her new proud Mama and Papa. She looks so adorable and I love the chubby cheeks. Reminds me of our Kelly back in 2004.

I was so happy to see your pictures this morning of her.
Have a great trip and enjoy getting to know your new little girl.
From, Theresa Dave and Kelly, Group 175

Hi again!
The sleeper Samara's wearing looks like the one Victoria picked out for her (shown in December's pictures). The one which happened to have ladybugs on it! It looks really cute on "Sleeping Beauty", Victoria!

I didn't think she could look cuter than yesterday's pictures, but she does! How adorable! Sigh. She is just a doll. I'm so glad all is going well for you guys! Keep up the pictures, we love to see the joy!
