Okay, so that was Byron posting and I told him he did not give enough details! So here's the rest for inquiring minds. Emma did super! She made faces at Claire and fed her Cheerios and in general is 4 going on 14! She's a little mommy delux! Claire did so well all things considered. She cried pretty hard when the Orphanage Director gave her to me. I tried toys and blankets and nothing was working so I just plopped a puff in her mouth since it was open anyway. She stopped immediately! She had apparently just had a bottle so she wasn't hungry, just loved them! She ate, and ate, and ate some more. For probably 20 minutes solid and she ate almost everything I brought. She was very quiet back in the hotel room and looked around and held a couple of toys although didn't really play. She started getting tearful again and walked around and rocked her until she fell asleep. That was about 5:15pm and she's still asleep! I think she was exhausted from her day and probably did not have a nap. Poor little thing!
Claire is super tiny! I think the 6-9 month clothes I brought will fit her just fine. In fact, there's another family in our group whose daughter is just a little older than Claire and she's about twice as big! Claire has a little runny nose and cough, too. But she's SO sweet! She's asleep on the bed right now, but I think we're going to try the crib. She's been sleeping very peacefully except for the occasional cough.
Benjamin and Katie, we can't wait for you to meet her!! Love to everyone at home, keep the prayers coming! They are being heard!!

I got up early to see if there was a post so I must have just missed it. She is so tiny! I cannot believe she's 18 months old. Now Emma will have someone to pass her tiny shoes to and you and Katie can share. I'm so excited for you guys and it sounds like it wasn't too terrible. We will keep praying for her to know in her little heart this is where she belongs. God is so faithful to go before us. Can't wait to see more pics and hear more about baby Clair! Much love!!!!
