And then there were three...

Yesterday was GOTCHA day and we are now the parents of a moving and shaking 10 month old. She is too sweet for words. We got to Nanchang, Jiangxi Province at about 2:30pm yesterday to be told that the babies would be arriving in two groups because ou girls came from two orphanages. The Ji'an City group would be at the hotel in less than an hour and a half. The girls from Rujian would arrive at 5:30pm. Addie is in the smaller group from Ji'an City.

We scrambled arounds to get ready and Brody even went to the store to get formula. We walked into a small conference at the hotel and the babies and there caretakers were already there, we picked Addie out right away with her unmistakeable cheeks. Two friends from our group filmed at took pictures for us as they handed the babies to their parents one by one.

Addie came to us really calmly and it wasn't until after we gave her the first bottle that she had a little meltdown (she only cried for an hour and a half which isn't bad considering some babies in the group are still crying today).

She is a ray of sunshine. She loves music and people and actually prefers to be in a room of people all the time. She can sit fairly well and likes to stand assisted by us. She loves to bop to music it is the cutest thing ever.

Today we spent the morning making the adoption official in the Province so she is officially ours here in Jiangxi. We leave for Guangzhou in two days to make it official in China and to obtain her passport and visa to travel home.

She is in great shape healthwise. It is obvious that she was well taken care of and the workers from her orphage thought she was so special. They came to wish us well this morning.

We're doing well and hope that the rest of the trip goes smoothly.
