...and she said "Mama"

Wow, what a day!  Up early, airports, travel, and at the end.... a sweet baby girl sleeping just a few feet away.  I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around everything that has happened and an even harder time trying to find the words to describe this amazing experience. 

She is doing so well, so brave.  We've already seen some smiles and giggles (it helps to have a funny Baba!), we bonded over Gerber Puffs (thank you to every adoptive parent who told us about the wonders of Puffs--you were so right), and yes, she called me "mama" tonight.  The only word she has said so far, and I wouldn't have thought it was for me except she was reaching for me as I walked past.  Unbelievable and completely awesome to see how God is making something beautiful out of suffering and heartache.

Tomorrow we have to get to several appointments, so I'd better get some sleep.  We'll be here until Friday when we travel to Guangzhou. 

Heaven!
