Note to Travel Group
Here's a note I sent to our travel group. I thought I would share it here too to bring my blog buddies up to date.
I am glad to hear from everyone too. I have been following the few blogs that I know, Jadyn is one of those so I have been seeing all of her great pictures. Melissa and Alyssa both look very healthy and happy. I can tell they have both gained weight and their hair is growing out! I can finally get a little ponytail holder in Lila's to attach a bow so it will stay in.
Lila is doing really well. People keep commenting on how well adjusted she seems. She STILL wants Daddy when she's tired or scared but she knows she has to put up with me too! We really have a great bond now. She's funny and goofy and we were just saying again how she's the perfect match for us.
Gerry's still on family leave, he goes back next Monday. That will be a big change for all of us but we're ready.
Lila and Grace are sisters so we have a lot of drama but a lot of love, hugs, and giggles too.
We had x-rays of her colon on Friday, it was awful. They strapped her to a board so they could position her during the process so she was terrified. I can only imagine the memories of having the same x-rays done in China coming back to her. I was so thankful that I was there with her this time so she didn't have to go through it alone. They said our next step in the diagnostic/treatment process will be a biopsy of the lining of her colon. I have to talk to the doctor's office in a couple days about that.

One giant leap...
The tiny things are so important in this adoption journey. She came running to me today with her arms up to be picked up. I was filled with joy that she has come so far from the scared child in China who only wanted Gerry. I looked at her today and said "Lila" she then put her hand on her chest and said "yiya". She said her name! She has only said mama and tai jien up to this point. She also said "yummy" this week when it was time to eat. This all sounds like normal developmental steps for children but when you've only been together only 8 weeks you are struck with each little moment how amazing this little person is.
