finally sleeping - a major breakthrough

We can now breath a sigh of relief! It took 4 long exhausting days and nights, however Lilah slept 9 hours straight yesterday, and so did we! We went to bed at 1:30pm and woke at 10:30pm feeling like a million dollars! So now you can find us at about 1:00am walking around Wal-Mart, pushing every button on every interactive toy in there - thank goodness for 24 hour stores! We had great fun last night, Lilah danced in the isles to the music of Elmo and friends! She (and we) also had a one hour nap at 2:00am and another 2 hour nap at 8:00am. Things are looking up! We will keep pushing her a little bit more every day and eventually we will be in the Ottawa time zone!

The picture above is from this morning, I gave Lilah her dolly stroller with the doll in it and showed her how to push it around, well she had another idea! She threw the doll out and got her leg up in there and pretty much demanded to be pushed around, she is a funny girl! Another thing this morning that made me laugh, we were both 'brushing' our teeth, (she just loves to sit up on the counter top and watch what I'm doing), anyway I spat the remainder of my frothy toothpaste into the sink and she leaned over and tried to spit too!

Here is a movie of Lilah dancing and singing; this one is from Beijing, however I couldn't post it over there because the file size was too big to upload. When we got Lilah's referral the report said she loved music, we were pretty sceptical but it is so true, she sure loves music! If she's sitting she'll sway her head back and forth, and when she's standing she will go back and forth from one foot to the other! She sure is a happy girl, when she's had plenty of sleep!
