Getting Settled!

Well, after sometimes twice-daily Blog updates from Korea, many of you may be going through blog withdrawal! Where are Fritz and Beth? Or really, where's Annabelle??!!

Well, we're all doing fine, but it's hard enough to recover from jet lag and a 12 hour time difference as adults...just imagine for a 5 month old with a new family!

The first few days were harder, but (we think) we're starting to get synced up with the time zone and what/when Annabelle likes things. Even though she's 5-months old, she's used to being fed every 3 hours (typical for most families adopting from Korea), so we're not getting a full night's sleep yet.

She's sitting up better now even in the few days she's been home with us, and loves to "stand" and pull up if we're holding her hands. She moves her legs alot, but hasn't figured out crawling yet. Daddy's figured out that you better mix the formula REALLY WELL or it plugs up the bottle and Annabelle isn't happy!

She is very good natured and smiles and plays alot.

Here are some pictures from the last few days:


Mommy & Annabelle....Playtime is fun!















Daddy has Annabelle's Hair! (Is he as cute??)















What are you looking at?















Annabelle with Fritz's Dad on Saturday














Annabelle with Fritz's Mom on Saturday!


















Annabelle with Aunt Betsy on Sunday:


















Annabelle & her Boppy Pillow!















What should I do next???














Annabelle loves her jumperoo!














Annabelle chillin' in the bouncy seat!














We weren't sure how the cats and Annabelle would get along, but so far everything is going really well. Wilson wants a little more attention from us, but that's about it. As you can see here, Cricket is enjoying some nap time with Daddy and Annabelle!














Updated Nursery Pictures.....we finally got our new chair in, so here are some updated pix with the new chair, throw rug, and some other updates since a few weeks ago. Beth just tried the chair out for feeding Annabelle....comfy!!
