Sophie Lu, Day Two!

Another AMAZING day with our little peanut!

We ended yesterday with a little blog time. Sophie informed me that if I didn't get something up quick, the peeps would come for me. She was right.  She sat with me and helped me pick out pics and blog about our day. She has an eye for that sort of thing. Perhaps one day she will help Colleen design tees at Wild Olive. No pressure, little LuLuBug. But, we will save a spot for you.

Then we headed upstairs to crash!  Sweet little thing almost slept through the whole night. We woke up and had a snack together for a bit, just cause we could. And probably cause the lollipops weren't enough to hold her over.  But mostly just cause we could. The end.

                                                                  Those CHEEKS!
I am curious to see how the sleeping arrangement will play out once Caleb is thrown into the mix. Miss Sophie Lu takes up more than her fair share of the bed. She likes to move around a bit.  Given it was the first night, we let her go without her brace. But I am worried about little man getting bopped in the face by our little acrobat and her feet braces. Would it be wrong to arm him with a sleeping helmet? Hoping he is used to sleeping in a crib. Otherwise, things could get ugly round here at bedtime.

 

Today was CIVIL AFFAIRS day. So before we headed off, we had a little fun at breakfast.  Sophie Lu provided the entertainment once again. On the menu, "So Big" hands, "wave hello to everyone I meet". and "So stinkin' cute face."

As soon as the car pulled up and we got in, Sophie Lu broke out into her little sad sad cry. Pretty sure she thought we were taking her back. Bless her little heart.   I was able to get her to calm down and snuggle into me, charming her with my motherly ways... lollipops.

We found things to do while we waited for the official paperwork.  Like, lollipops.

And snuggling with Puppy Puppy.

We interupt this program with a public service announcement from Sophie Lu:  She would like you to know this is HER PUPPY. Not YOUR puppy. HER PUPPY. Just in case you were jonesin' for it. HER PUPPY. That is all... you may now return to your regularly scheduled programming.

And on March 6th, 2012, Sophie Lu officially became OURS!!  Happy Forever Family Day, Sophie Lu!
She was SO VERY excited that she slept through most of it. Cause she was excited. She is not passed out from Sugar coma if that's what you are thinking. As you can see, she was just very very excited.

How did we celebrate??  With a  "Smarties" party in the lobby with Puppy Puppy. We like to mix it up around here.

Oops, sorry. HER PUPPY PUPPY!

And also, a lot of time just looking really really cute.

 And showing a bit more of her personality by the minute.

 So is SO sweet! And funny. And smart. And spunky. And loving. And just so stinkin' cute.

 See....

told ya. Cute. 

And believe me, she knows it. 

And so does PUPPY PUPPY. Though, he really doesn't have a say in the matter.

And... pose. 

                                             
            She is a HAM. Don't believe me, check out the pics below of her entertaining us at lunch time.

"Stretchy mouth stick your tongue out" face. 

                                                          "Whatchutalkinboutwillis I can't pick my nose " face.

                                                  "Super Silly Squeezy cheeks " face.

Tomorrow is going to be a crazy busy day. We are off to the airport at 7:30 to fly to Nanjing. After we land we will head over to meet our little man.

                                               Tomorrow is Caleb's Hugging Day!!

                                                         So. Stinkin. Excited!

Until then, I will leave you with one last  picture..

 

                                                                 I AM CUTE. The End.


I am ONE BLESSED MAMA!
