I know what you all have been waiting for so go ahead and scroll down and take a look at our Hepu sweetheart………Now that I have you back, I will tell you about our glorious day. We got up around 7 this morning and went down for breakfast. The breakfast buffet was awesome!! We were to meet our guide at 2:30 this afternoon to go to another hotel to meet Ridley. We got to the other hotel at 3 and saw her beautiful face at around 3:30. She never cried (until later).
Ridley is so small! We packed 6-9 month clothing and they are a little big still. She is so petite!!! We brought her back to our hotel to spend some time with her. We have yet to get her to take a bottle but she loves rice cereal with bananas and Cheerios. She is able to sit up and CRAWL!!!! She is pulling herself up and walking while holding on to things…it won’t be long! She is very healthy and happy. Did I mention she is beautiful? As I type this she is fighting sleep with Daddy. She has taken to Daddy very much, maybe later she will trust Mommy as well. I am the food and drink person and that is better than nothing. Tomorrow we have our court appointment to swear that we will never abandon her or abuse her. We will sign papers and affix our thumb prints and Ridley’s foot print in the signature red ink.
It is getting late and we have to leave early tomorrow for our appointment so I am going to close for today.
Thank you all for your love, prayers and support as we bring our little girl home.
P.S. Zack, Ciara, Spencer and Caden: We miss and love you all and can’t wait to bring your little sister home. She is pretty stubborn. She also likes to look at herself in the mirror;) I hope you are all being good. Only 9 more days and we will be coming home!
Love,
Erica, Steve and Ridley |
