Home!!!

We're home!!!! We got in last night at about 11:00. She did great. I was worried she would be fussy or nervous around so many people on the plane, but the second we got on, she got super hyper excited. She was up and down, looking out the window, looking behind the seat, rocking back and forth, and jumping up and down. It was pretty funny. She hasn't been crazy about taking a bottle, so we fed her those gerber graduate puffs during take off. I figured she would have to swallow them at some time and it should help with her ears. During the whole take off she was laughing and talking, so it must have worked. The second flight was a little harder. By then she was so exausted she didn't know what to do with herself, but once again the gerber puffs were a lifesaver and the only thing that kept her happy for those last two hours. I highly recomend them!

She as been sleeping much better since that first night. She is only waking up once or twice during the night for a bottle and then she will go back to sleep. She is also coming out of herself a lot more. She is very smily and talkative. She has us both wrapped around her finger! We had a friend take pictures at the airport, and I will post them once I get them.

What a beautiful family you have. I truly enjoyed talking to your mom, dad & brothers at the airport. They were all very excited and couldn't wait to see her. That is one lucky little girl that not only has you and Filipe, but an extended family that will shower her with love. Can't wait to see her again - and spend some time with you and Filipe.
God is Good!

Praise God! So thankful that you all had a good trip and that Shiloh did so well and is coming into her own, there with you all. She's going to enjoy these next few weeks, figuring out everything and everyone (so funny, that she already has you two figured out), as will all of you! Enjoy your family of three... and if you do make it out here to CO (to visit Becca & Deb), I want in on some of that action! We can all go to the zoo together!

Blessings,
andrea

It's so ... RIGHT ... that the three of you are FINALLY living under the same roof. God's been getting you guys ready to be parents for so long. And now, finally, He has graced you to begin raising Shiloh! Praise God and congratulations!
