First Week Home!

Things are going so good that I'm almost scared to post about it for fear that I will jinx it but here it goes.
We've got a routine and schedule down and Mischa Grace is adapting well. She is sleeping through the night (12 hours) and taking two short naps a day. She is eating like crazy and feels like she has gained a couple pounds. She is soo tiny ...she looks alot bigger in her pictures than she is. If her eating habits stay the same she will be caught up in no time. She has already outgrown a couple things.
She is having so much fun with all her toys and walking all over the place. (with the help of her Princess Ride-On- thanks Deb ... it's her favorite!) She is very curious about everything and is very ticklish. We love making her laugh and are enjoying every minute with her.
We haven't been out in the real world yet, just trying to get settled, but she has two doctors appts. this week so we'll give it a try. We're so grateful to be home with her early... we would still be in Russia until this Thursday if they hadn't waived the ten days and would have just picked her up this past Thursday.
Here are some pictures from her first week home.
Gracie and Granite - this was first thing in the morning and Granite was watching her play with a ball.

What a little doll! She looks very happy, Granite looks like he is very protective.She must feel great safety in her new surroundings or she wouldn't be sleeping 12 hrs a night. Glad to hear everything is going great, talk to you soon.

So happy to hear that you adventure is going so well. I especially liked the part where you said you know she was meant to be your daughter. How blessed you all are! Can't wait to meet her.
