Day 5 - Tessa Day!




We got her!! :)

What a day...we are soooo tired right now...just got back from the trip to get Tessa Yi-Hsiu. It was such an emotional day...wow.

I'll blog more about it tomorrow...but here's a couple of pictures until then.

She's an absolute delight...VERY happy and smiley baby. She's very content too...laid back. She's rolling all over the place. She ate a jar of apple baby food tonight and she LOVES the rice crackers...but she won't take a bottle from us yet. I think it's because she associates the bottle with her foster mom. As soon as we get it close to her mouth, she cries and arches her back away from it...so we'll try again later. She's had a lot of changes today, poor baby.


Jake and Sara...get ready! You two are going to have a ton of fun with your baby sister!!! We love you always and forever...and miss you oodles and oodles.
