Forever Home
We made it home safely!! Ruby was a champion traveler! She did great on the 14 hour flight and slept three times. The flight attendants stopped to talk with her nearly every time they walked by. They also spoiled Audrey with lots of treats since it was her birthday.
Ruby had a busy weekend and was able to meet several family members who could not wait to love on her. She enjoyed meeting everyone but her true passion seemed to be exploring and figuring out her new toys. It didn't take her long to figure out how to empty the toy bin and get in it. That leads to rides!!
We continue to struggle with the jet lag. The first night Ruby was wide awake and ready to play at 1:30am. We played until 4:30 before she was ready for a nap. The second night she slept until 4:30am and today she is still sleeping (5:30am) yeah!! Steve and I on the other hand continue to be confused with night and day. Every day is getting slightly better for us and hopefully by mid week we will be back on track. The other three children seem to be sleeping just fine now.
Ruby's personality continues to shine. She is such a fun, lively little girl and we are continually amazed by what she attempts to do (and succeeds) with being so small. She loves to play and could spend all day outside. We introduced her to grass (my guess is for the first time since the cities in China do not have grass that we saw) and she liked it! She is typically barefoot since it's hard to find shoes to fit her little feet. She is wearing 3-6 month clothes (which are slightly big on her) and we've realized sleepers that size don't have non-skid feet so that is a challenge for her on the hard wood floors.
Ruby loves to eat! We continue to follow the diet restrictions for the most part, and look forward to her doctors appointments to see if we can expand her diet. I have no doubt that she will grow fast now that she is home.
Thank you again to everyone for your continued support throughout this process. It's been wonderful sharing our adventure with you and I will continue to post updates from time to time.
Love,
