ICPC clearance

We received ICPC clearance this morning and just signed all the necessary paperwork at the agency. That means we are ready to fly back home. Yeah!!! We can't wait to be back and introduce Lillian to all our friends and family and are very excited that we won't even have to change our flights.

This week here has been great. Bonding with her has not been an issue at all. It feels like we have been taking care of her forever. And we love to do it. Sometimes we just stare at her while she is sleeping and are utterly amazed how lucky and how blessed we are with her. We are so proud to be her parents. Even at the agency they admitted that she is the most adorable baby they have ever placed. :-)

We basically spent a family vacation here. Everyday we went somewhere else and did something fun. Lilly is so easy going, it has been no problem to take her everywhere. She went to a State Park with us, shopping, to a library, etc.

Lilly sleeps most of the time and only wakes up for her feeding. And if she wakes up, she usually wants to eat. It is her favorite thing to do. Afterwards she has this milk coma look on her face and it is just the cutest thing.

Because I am not breastfeeding (that would have been to much stress after all), it is really easy to prepare her bottles. I always thought babies needed warm bottles, but they don't. They drink formula at whatever temperature they are used to. We just pour the water in the formula, shake it, press out the air bottles, and she is good to go. My dh has started calling her formula "Baby crack".

I know that you all would like to see more pictures. So here they come. The first one shows Daddy feeding his little princess and the second one is her in her cute little Outfit.
