Sunday, Sept. 12

Got a few minutes so thought I'd post a little note.  Gracie continues to settle in better every day.  Found out this week that she had one ear infection and fluid in the other ear so she seems to feel much better now that we are treating that.  Though we don't know Chinese and she doesn't know English, we communicate very well.  She reads hand signals and picks up things so quickly.  We crack up at her fake phone "conversations" and a host of other funny things she does.  Last night she came running into the kitchen and I wasn't really paying too much attention but knew she sounded excitedly triumphant about something.  When I looked at her, I saw that she had finally snatched the TV remote control when no one was looking and was concentrating on pushing every button. 

We know she will probably need surgery on her palate but will not know the specifics of that until after her appt at the end of this month.  Here are some  pictures of her and brother Ben in action.

  1. Hi Dan & Michelle,

    It's Diane, Amy's mom from China. Grace is so cute and I'm glad she is settling in and doing so well.

    It's amazing how like little sponges they are isn't it? Sophie seems to learn something new every time I see her. She's turned into a little whirling dervish too!

    The trip home was really hard wasn't it? Even though I've read many blogs, the reality was rough!

    So good to see pictures of Grace and her brother! Take care!
