Too busy to post tomorrow!
Can't believe she has been here one week already!!! Avery is totally out of her shell and tons of fun (and a handful.) But, for the most part she has an easy going personality and enjoys to just be in the company of her family. When she gets excited she is really really over the top with excitment. Sometimes she throws toys or hits and thinks it's funny. And when we tell her know she giggles. I don't think the orphanage staff told these kids no very often...or if they did, she sure didn't listen! And she has a second wind/wild streak in her every night between 5-8pm. It's like the witching hour in a newborn...she just goes crazy during those couple of hours.
She is already looking super healthy and is eating really well. Her favorite foods so far are oatmeal, veggie burgers and yogurt. She doesn't really like meat or cheese.
We did manage to get her blood drawn on Friday which went just about as well as getting her hair done today(SCREAMED the entire time.) She had a small infection on her head that has healed and her cold/cough are gone as well.
All in all she is looking and acting like a totally different little girl than just 1 week ago. Can't wait to see what the next week holds for Avery!

She looks good!
The dreaded witching hour!! Hopefully she will outgrow that very soon!
She looks gorgeous and healthy and happy and strong in this picture - and that's after only one week with you guys! I'm with you - I can't wait to see what the next week holds!
She looks so big!! Wil doesn't like cheese at all either, isn't that funny? Looking forward to the months ahead for all our families!

Ha! Joshua gets a bit rambunctious around 5-8 himself! I think that it's the last Hoorah before bed! LOL
We were dealing with some behavior issues the first few days ourselves, but at one point he put himself in a corner and we thought "ah ha!" So, when he misbehaved, to the corner he went. Now, we've been corner free for 3 days now :~) So, you might try the corner.
They are all precious. Glad her cough/cold is better. So is Joshua's, BUT he gave it to me, so I'm still trying to get over it.
She's just brewing with happiness...you can see it. Structure is probably an entirely new beast for this little one. Good luck guys...You are all so fortunate.
Wow, she looks even more beautiful if that is even possible! Nice full cheeks and I agree, her eyes are shining! I spoke to Trina, and Avery is already bigger and taller than my almost three year old!
