Mondays are hard days so far, as Stewart goes off to work. Helen and I both get a little fussy. We've had lots of visitors and done a fair amount of visiting ourselves. Last week, I took Helen to Stew's work for lunch and to meet folks (shoutout to the kind folks at UHG!). We also trekked out to our good friends, the Sahrs, for a super fun playdate for the kids and their moms. It was great practice for our Thanksgiving trip to Iowa since it was a longer car ride and I was able to put her down for a nap in the pack-n-play with no trouble. The girl is a trooper, seriously. Also managed to make it to playgroup with some friends who have previously adopted from China. We're so happy to have these wonderful families in our lives.
Helen has gained over a pound in the past couple of weeks and if you check out the photos below, I think you can see it in her face. Even her legs are getting a little pudge to them and it does our hearts good to see her thriving.
She likes that foot.
Um...wrong end, sister.
Is that the beginnings of a double-chin I see there? YAY!
