Lots of Firsts

We had a surprisingly good first night. Grace slept for about eight hours, she didn't even wake up during the night. She did wake up fairly early since we put her to bed around 7:30 so we kept her up for an extra hour tonight. We shall see how tonight goes. Based on conversations with the other parents it seems like most of the babies are really good sleepers.

We are starting to pick up on some of her cues. When she is tired she makes this little moan that sounds like na-na-na-na-na. We think we finally figured out how to make her bottles how she liked them as we were able to get in around three bottles today. We went and got some baby food today and she tried some pear which she appeared to like. We actually haven't found anything that she doesn't like yet. Except maybe a bath, she had her first bath this morning and wasn't too happy about it.

We spend the morning today doing paperwork. Our first stop was Civil Affairs office to pay some fees, get a family picture taken and we were interviewed by an adoption official. The second stop was a different place but more pictures of just Grace this time. The last stop was at the notary office where we were interviewed once again and officially became Grace's parents.

Tomorrow we have kind of a free day. We are doing some sightseeing at the Teng Wang Pavillion. Only three days left in Grace's province until we leave on Friday for Guangzhou so it will be nice to get out and see a little more of the area. We will just leave you with a couple pics from today.
