3 weeks home

I can't believe that it has only been 3 weeks, if feels like she has always been a part of our family. Elle, is doing great. We went to the doctor on Monday. She gain another pound! That means in a month she has gained 5 pounds. We were thrilled,  I have been stressing about how many bottle she gets each day. I guess I can relax alittle. She is doing great. We are meeting with a nutritionist next week, I want a little guidance on what we should be giving her. Only taking a bottle at 3 is hard. Although we are getting close to right amount of calories she should get at 3, I want to make she is getting the right calories. We have been to lots of appointments,  we drove to spokane to meet with a genetics doctor.  But as we were walking up to the door of the office they called and canceled. So we reschedule for the 24th. On Friday we drive back up to spokane to see a eye specialist.  I am excited to see him,  we have a idea of what she see but it will be really nice to know how much.
So far she still show interest in walking. She is up to 7 steps at a time.
Her climbing skills have gotten scary good. She loves to climb up and sit on the couch but this week she has decided that sitting on the back of the couch is fun, crazy baby.
We found that for nap time if we lay her in the play pen in the middle of the living room and turn the radio on she sleeps :) a big victory for us. She is in a much better mood when she gets a nap. We have tried it a few times at bedtime and it has worked the last two days.

She is expanding her territory.  She now crawls into the kitchen but only on her terms. She loves crawling down to my bedroom. Her crib is in there and she loves her crib.
We feel like a got a cheat card with this adoption. She is transitioning so well. Our kids are all transitioning so well. They can't help but pick her up , talk to her, play with her every time they walk through the room. She is showing great signs of bonding. She prefers her mommy and daddy. She turns to us when strangers try to touch her. She is starting to cry when I leave the room or crawl after me saying mama. So cute. She shows signs of recognizing when we get home. As soon as we turn on our gravel road she starts to giggle.
Today is the last day of school for all the kids. She is going to love having them home all day.
We had been watching most games from the car but recently have been sitting in the outfield in the shade and grass. The crowd doesn't seem to bother her from there. The announcer from the last game she didn't like. I guess she spoke to loud or maybe he had a annoying voice ;)
Over all she is great, she still gets nervous very easy. The littest thing throws her off and still when she gets to stressed she stops eating.  This is a hard one because we have lots of doctors appointments and she greatly dislikes them. But I am she over time we will work this out.
