One month home

We've reached the one-month mark, and things are starting to settle in.  Life with two toddlers is a challenge, and we definitely have our moments of feeling tired, stressed and overwhelmed.  (Especially me.)  But Ellie is doing great, and every day we can see that she's becoming more and more comfortable with us.  Her diet has advanced amazingly fast - she's gone from gagging on small pieces of watermelon in China to eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and hot dogs.  She is active, inquisitive and affectionate.  She uses several signs to communicate, and is babbling constantly now.  Her pediatrician gave her a clean bill of health, with all of her blood work and stool studies coming back normal.  We can't wait to see what the next few months will bring!

Here's one of my favorite pics of our cute girl, who is 19 months old today.  :)
