Incredible First Night... AN ALL NIGHT SLEEPER!

I woke up many times last night to make sure that Maran "Ivay" was still breathing.  She was.  She hardly moved all night.  She would not let us take her shoes off so after a few tries I finally succeeded without her waking up.  David got her into her bed and she slept till 6 am.  So from 10 pm to 6 am... I will take that.  She woke up and immediately walked to the potty.  No accidents from overnight either although we were prepared.  She then decided it was time for some mommy cuddle time.   I held her, rubbed her back and rocked her for about an hour.  She then decided it was time to eat.  SHE PUT ON THE FEED BAG!  She loves eggs and tomatoes.  David carried her through the buffet and she chose what she wanted.  It was an interesting mix.  She will try about anything.  We are told she has no allergies.  She had never seen anyone brushing their teeth so she found it interesting.  As well the hairdryer was a new adventure for her as well.  Later today we will brush her teeth. Let's hope she takes to it! We went to our appointment where they asked us a lot of questions.  They were easy questions.  She was a perfect angel.  She potties often and LOVES washing her hands now.  She wants to wash them before she goes and after and I let her.  She is not used to the toilet paper and giggles when she pulls it off the roll (She clearly had never used it before yesterday).  What a loving little angel we have.  We are now trying to nap.  She seems to be following me around today.  That's my girl... getting both mommy and daddy tied around your finger (that's what I did when I was little).  The apple clearly is not too far from the tree!  She loves being kissed now and loves touching your nose.  She grins a lot but very few giggles so far.  She now says Ut-Oh.  After she washes her hands she smells them and says "UHM".  What a cutie we have.  We can not wait till she and Luke are together.  They will conquer the world!!! 

With a mouth full of food.  The food on the plate she chose!
