Miya has slept (knocking on wood) for 3 nights in a row. All night long. We are now trying to work on getting our day schedule down. Nap time is still all over the board, but we are getting closer to the 10a.m. and 2p.m. schedule she was on in China.
So far, I think she likes me. :-) She likes B too. :-) In fact, she is a very happy easy going little gal. She gets very serious when she meets someone new, but it doesn't take very long for her to warm up and show her fun personality.
She had her first Dr.'s appointment yesterday. She is right on track developmentally, but is delayed in her eating skills and language (no big surprise there). She weighs 20.5 pounds and is 29.5 inches in length. Her color is good and her PDA has not closed on it's own yet. We will be seeing a pediatric cardiac specialist at the Children's hospital nearby in the coming weeks. They will then decide if we should have it closed now or wait until she is 2. I also have to schedule the dreaded blood draw appointment....yuck.
She is eating well and I am going to start transitioning her to US formula as soon as I can decide on which kind to buy. I think I am going to go with the Carnation Good Start as I've heard that it is a bit sweeter and others have had luck transitioning from the Chinese formula to it.
Miya is such a sweet little girl and I am so very blessed to have her.
I've saved the best for last. Pics from our first week home (captions are above photos)!!

Hey, this is really fun!
Miya's auntie found a gently used Johnny Jumper at a garage sale down the street. She loves it!

We just got back from Minnesota and can hardly wait to come to town to see our little girl! Grandpa Mike is looking forward to meeting Miya!
Jackson is so lucky to have gotten that kiss!!

What a cutie! Glad your transition home is going so well!
Oh my gosh I am just SO thrilled for you and to hear how well you 2 are doing (and so soon)!! It gives me tremendous hope that maybe, just maybe, I'll be blessed in the same way with a fairly easy going baby! She is seriously adorable!!

I can't get over that fact that you are actually home with your daughter... and I'm so glad to read you are already getting past the jet lag and transitioning so well.
