Mira Fu Xi

Please Bear with us....We are still having major issues trying to get Internet service. Here is an update and some photos of our first day with Mira Fu Xi. These are all from Chandler's phone (the only thing we can get service on in the room). We have a lot more photos on the camera to download!


This Photo is from lunch maybe an hour or two after we got Mira Fu Xi. She was eating some noodles and we got a tiny smile and coo from her during this time.



I planned on posting last night but fell asleep while trying to get the girls to sleep.



This photo is of us signing the adoption certificate. At least that is what I think we were doing...


The overnight has been rough. It is currently 5:39am - she has been up a lot tossing and turning and crying softly. We couldn't get her to take her milk/rice cereal yesterday - only the few noodles and a little fried rice at dinner. So, she was probably hungry. We finally got her to take water before bed and she had an ounce or two periodically through the night. Finally at 3:30am she took half the milk/rice cereal bottle. The orphanage gave us the milk and cereal so she is familiar with it, but we are not sure if we are mixing it right since their instructions were a little confusing. We will try more noodles and some congee today to see if things will be better.

She is totally cute and crosses her little fingers and puts her ring finger on her bottom quivering pouty lip when she is nervous. She is little peanut, I think smaller than they told us. She tucks her legs up under her when you hold her.

Seneca is doing well with her. She just says, "mommy, my turn" when she wants to sit with me or wants me to hold her. She was a bit cranky yesterday, but was handling it all much better than we thought. More to come later!?!
