This afternoon, after Maeve's nap, we spent some time at the hotels gardens area( very peaceful and beautiful). The area also had a swing set; however, Maeve was not interested in it. For Donne we walked across the street to the same coffee shop we ate at last night.
Each say I learn more and more about our sweet little Maeve. Here are a few fun tidbits about her: she loves to look pretty(AKA she does not try to remove the bows for her hair), she waves "bye bye" by bending and straightening the only finger on her hand, she loves her bottles of formula, she crawls well, she can stand up and move around furniture by holding onto it, she points to where she wants to go(ie door,crib), she enjoys riding in my generic ergo, and when she wants more food she says "maaaaa", she is good at imitating us( tapping, clapping). It is hard to believe that she was given to us just eight days ago. Each day she is allowing me to enter her world a little more. God continues to be faithful in comforting her, protecting/healing her heart and allowing us to reach into her life.
I just found your blog….. Thank you for writing it. I love hearing about your experiences and admit that I had to keep wiping my eyes while reading it. Your love for Maeve is evident in the posts. We all are looking forward to meeting her.
ReplyDeletechecking and checking again for another update. I don't know what time your consulate appointment was but guessing you are either already there or getting ready to leave as I type this. You are almost done; how bittersweet. I can only imagine how excited you are to be back home with everyone and to let Maeve meet everyone else but yet nostalgic to say goodbye to China. We are thinking of you as you start to wrap things up. Are you keeping the airport for family only? We'd love to briefly celebrate your return (and get a peek of this cutie pie!!!)
