LilyBeth has been home for 2 1/2 weeks now and we are just beginning to see her personality. We've seen glimpses here and there, but never for more than a second until now. She is one wonderful little lady!
Yesterday, I dared the unthinkable: I took 6 children (all under 8) to the ocean by myself! Lily has no fear of anything--especially water. That's very scary to a mom. As soon as she saw the ocean she pointed, "shouted, "guh!", and ran headlong into the waves. Of course I was in pursuit and managed to get her before she went under. Her brother, who is 2 1/2 years old, is terrified of water, so I spent the whole time trying to get one near the water and the other out of the water. The big kids were great and stayed in the shallow water so I wouldn't completely lose it.
Lily has been to her pediatrician and is 20 pounds, and 32" tall. She will have her blood work done today (say a prayer, please), and will be meeting with the specialists soon. She is afraid of doctors, and I'm not sure how best to prepare her to see them. She spent several months in the hospital in Beijing.
Isn't she adorable? I love this sweet girl!
