We are Home!!!!

After 26 hours of traveling, we finally made it home around 10:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. Heidi and I both think that Sarae was the best traveler since she didn't whine once! Sarae continues to be outgoing and went to strangers on the plane and patted people's heads as we walked down the aisle. It took a few days for Sarae's stomach to get on the Florida time zone, but she is doing great now. She loves to eat and has eaten everything put in front of her. She loves her spaghetti and as you can see in the picture, she wears her food as well. Cody, my puppy, has realized that Sarae is a potential food source and tends to follow her around no matter where she is going. He is very patient with her and doesn't even flinch when she pulls at his ear or pokes him in the eye. Buddy, my German Shepherd mix, isn't sure what to think of her, but he will lick the top of her head and then run. He did bring her his treat yesterday which was very sweet. My sister Lynne, left Sarae lots of food and toys. We play every morning with the toys and Sarae loves them. My niece Tia is positive that Sarae actually said her name today, unfortunately I was on the phone so I didn't hear it. Sarae had her first doctor's appointment today. The doctor was very surprised at how healthy Sarae is (compared to other orphange babies she has worked with). She said that Sarae was very curious, smart and manipulative. Her motor skills are on target and she is a happy baby. Well, that is until it is time to go to sleep. She is still screaming if I put her in the crib and leave. For the last two days I've been able to pat her back for a few minutes and that has put her to sleep. We'll see how long that lasts! She got two vaccinations today and she cried for a total of 10 seconds. She's pretty tough and even when she busted her nose on my tile floor, she stopped crying before her nose stopped bleeding. Hope this blog finds everyone well and I'll try to keep it up every so often.

Take care!
