Signing Papers
Official Paperwork
Getting ready for bed
Looking good!
It's official as of Monday, December 3. We are Nina Mei's parents! We had an appointment at the Adoption Registration in the morning. We each had to put our fingerprints on a piece of paper and had our first official family photo taken. Nina is crying in it because she just woke from a nap.
In the afternoon we went to Walmart. That was interesting. We got some baby formula (Nina still drinks that, not whole milk yet) and an outfit, a few small toys, including a panda that she loves, and a few souveniers. All of the stores and the streets are very loud. There is always music playing and people milling about. We're just not used to it in Montana!
The second night was better as Nina did not cry. She has a bottle before going to bed and then we usually have to hold her and rock her to get to sleep. A difficlut job, but someone has to do it! She has really been very good and is generally not fussy. She is always on the go and is independent. She like to get her way, but is usually easily distracted. She is a good eater. It has been a little difficult being confined to a hotel room keeping her from getting bored, but we are managing and have trips planned for every day. She is a wonderful little girl!

Nina Mei Dumas - Welcome to the family. We, too, have waited for you for a long time. Have been praying and sending out the energy of love probably since around the time you were born (and we didn't even know you existed). Your grandpa and I can't wait to hold you, to hug you, and to smother you with kisses all over your face. Look forward to meeting you. Love, love, and more love, Your new grandma on Cape Cod
