Thank you all so much for your encouraging words and prayers!! Your support is wonderful to have!
We are adjusting well and Ava is now sleeping through the night! YAAAYY!!! She is also trying lots of new foods that she wouldn't try before...YAY! She is doing wonderfully well!!
I would never have guessed that she was in an orphanage for three years...! She doesn't rock herself or have any self-soothing habits other than sucking her fingers(ALL of them..one at a time!) Keep in mind, this is probably NOT the norm though...this little girl asserted herself more than the other kids(they told us this), so she probably got more attention because of it. She plays well with the other kids, and LOVES dress-up! She has even ventured onto the swing once or twice:).
Ben has been gone almost every night this week, so she really hasn't had a chance to be with him much yet...that'll change next week as his work schedule changes.
I'm worn out! Jet lag is kicking my butt and winning! But just wanted to give you a quick update:). And a THANK YOU!
Thanks for the update. Glad to hear Ava is doing so well.
ReplyDeleteThe jet lag was a killer for us as well. We were really glad Lili had gone with us so we were all going through it together. I know you're not so fortunate so I hope you're finding ways of getting some rest.
