Post First Week Home--Update and Pictures
Jillian has been doing extremely well! She only takes one nap a day (around noon) but seems to be sleeping through the night for the most part so far, which is a relief based on what the foster mother told us (about 5 hrs. a night instead of 10-11). The Dr. gave her a clean bill of health yesterday and she is cruising, transferring from one object to the next and trying to take steps as she lunges into my arms! She doesn't seem to be afraid of strangers but she definitely prefers us, which is great to see after one week!!

She is not too fond of diaper changes or baths so far, but she is very smiley most of the time, loves playing peekabo and getting kisses blown to her. She loves anything to do with music and lights--she thinks the Veggie Tales are pretty cute!

Here are some pictures from us at home:

Thanks so much everyone!! She is a real sweetie but can be a stinker sometimes too ;). Mostly when we are trying to change her diaper but is a sweetie most other times.
