A Family For Makayla

I really don't know where to start. Annabelle is the sweetest, most amazing little girl and she has already adjusted to us perfectly.

She's daddy's little girl and though she doesn't speak, she mutters out "mama".

Annabelle has very strange sleeping habits. I woke up last night to check on her and found her sleeping while sitting up. She also folds over forward at the waist and sleeps.

I was shocked when I saw her completely naked. I can't say she's skinny because skinny is fat compared to her. From her backside, she has no butt and you can see her hip bones perfectly. Think about looking at a skeleton from behind.

We are having a little trouble feeding her. She won't drink from anything and will only eat baby food fruit. I have been mixing cereal in with some of the fruit and I water down other fruit. I have tried mixing baby food meat in with the fruit but even with just one spoonful added to 8oz of fruit, she will refuse it. She's been fully hydrated, thankfully, but we can't wait to get home. Our feeding options are very limited here. For now, she's only sustained. With that said, she has probably eaten more food with us in one day than she has eaten all week.

We need to pray for the new director. She's up against a crew of workers who want the old director back.

Annabelle is an absolute blessing and we can't stop thanking God for her.

I know I've been a little lame in the posting department but please forgive me. I have been going nuts with getting everything clean and just right in my house. It's my way of passing time that I so badly want to pass.

On Friday, this Friday, time will have finally passed and I will be boarding an airplane to cross the ocean to bring Annabelle home forever.
