Megan Kathleen is here...

Well here she is finally. This is her at dinner in the hotel, when she finally broke the stone cold face and started smiling, laughing and playing with a few toys.

This afternoon (Monday) we went to an adoption (and marriage) centre in Chongqing about 20 mins away from the hotel to get her. We thought the process was going to be a bit different than it was. When her caretaker walked into the room, we all decided that it had to be Megan just by looking at her.


Unlike most of the other kids, she did not cry that much and when she did is much softer than the other kids and took her longer to do so. The bottle that we made did not go over so well and neither did the bottle they gave us made with the formula and cereal she is used to. We tried some applesauce and got a few bites of that down before that too hit the rejection pile. Once back at the hotel another bottle was tried before she pushed that away after some if it. She has a strong grip and will push away what she doesn't want, but when she wants it she will try to grab it.

Not so sure about the crawling yet, but she is not walking. She seems to just be getting ready to fully try the standing thing. She will push up and while your holding her hands stand, but she is wobbly.
