A Long Day

Does anyone else see braces in Maya's future. This is a usually face that we see on our girly. She is happy most of the time and smiles and giggles a lot. Catching the smile with the camera is a whole other story.


She is not standing or pulling up on her own yet but she's coming close. She did manage to get up on her knees today in her crib.


Maya loves her Dad but today it has been from a distance. She did let him feed her this afternoon and will let him feed her if I hold her. She will also smile at him from her stroller or my lap and says Da Da Da all of the time looking right at him or for him when she says it. But today she was not to happy with Dad holding her. That will change soon. It's just gonna take a little time.


There are 2 Maya's in our group of 10 families. Both of them had to have a costume change today at the civil affairs office. I'm not sure what happened to the other Maya but our Maya peed all over her cute red outfit.


This is another beautiful Yangchun girl, Ella Lazar and her big brother Evan. The Lazars are wonderful people and we've made great friends in them. We share a special bond as our daughters not only were in the same orphanage but, shared a room also.


Our sweet girl.
Most of the babies have been a little cranky today including Miss Maya. But just a little. We have heard crying babies being walked up and down the hallway outside of our room most of the night. These little girls have had the world turned upside down. Please continue to pray for us and all of these sweet babies. We are only just beginning and we are already ready to come home. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully a better one for everyone.
