Ariana

While we are waiting for the official translated documents about our daughter, husband-san's boss kindly translated a two page document outlining her life since she got to the orphanage. Some things we learned:

Though not evident in the pictures, she does smile.
She is quiet and shy (just like I was when I was little)
She likes music - and dances to it (again, just like her mama)
She likes to rock on a rocking horse (note to self - go back to Toys r'us!!)
She likes to cry (ok, not to happy about this one!!)
Is cooperative when getting her clothes put on (this is good)

These little snippets of information make her that much more real. The other day I took out a tape measure and measures up from the floor her reported height.

She comes up to the middle of my thigh....................just imagine.......

Mama J,
it is so exciting to share this experience with you even half way around the world from NY. I am so looking forward to seeing pictures of you and Ariana-chan.
