Time in Vlad is going by…sometimes slowly and sometimes a little more quickly. It is great to have my mom here with me! She helps me keep Carys entertained and keeps me sane! I do love this opportunity that I have to stay in Russia with my sweet Russian babies but I am anxiously awaiting returning home to be a whole family once again. I miss my two older boys so so much!!!
Today we were able to go into town to the baby store and the grocery store. ( a little excitement for our dayJ) Carys is doing better with each car ride. She seems ok at first but its like she remembers she is in a car and begins to panic. There are no car seats here so I’m sure when we have her back in the US strapped down in a car….The screaming will return!
There is this baby book I brought from home that Carys absolutely loves. She will talk (aka: babble) to the book for what seems like hours. It has pictures of children and a small mirror in it, which she makes funny faces in. I just love to watch her interact and open up. She is changing everyday and showing more personality. She has been with us for 8 days and I can tell a HUGE difference. She actually comes to me with a smile. She desires to be picked up! (we are still working on the cuddling part…I know it will come in time!) And she laughs now…something we could not get her to do in the orphanage. It just goes to show you how right that old saying is…”A little love goes a LONG way.”
