Hanna Bloomed!!!!!!!

Dad's been posting, but Mom just couldn't not post about today!!!!!

What an amazing day we had today!!!! Hanna has been a bit afraid of us (on Friday and Saturday), and kind of cried when we took her. When we had her with us, she usually just fell asleep or sat really still. Well, today, we were able to bring her back to the Guest House where we are staying for the morning, and we watched Hanna bloom!!!

She started out by falling asleep again, but woke up and started to play with some toys. Then we fed her lunch, and while Daddy held her, I got a small smile from her. (Before this, she was barely looking us in the eyes.) Then Daddy was playing with her and we got HUGE smiles from her!!! Then she really started playing and shaking the toys. Then while we were eating lunch, Joshua was playing with her, and she started laughing!!!!! And she was babblling and clapping and standing on my lap. Oh, she just came alive!!!! She also let Joshua hold her for the first time today. She is so wonderful!!!! It was hard to take her back, but we put her down in her crib (it was nap time) and she was fine.

Tomorrow morning, we go and get her for good!!! What a beautiful little girl...such a gift!
