Richard took her to play in the playroom for a little while, so I thought I'd post some pics. She is such a ham! She had no problem with her big bow :) and every time she gets dressed, she has to go check herself out in the mirror. So funny!
She truly is a beauty. She is the happiest child I've ever seen. And "chunky monkey" is an accurate description. She weighs a ton!! And you should see her hiney hanging out of the panties I brought! The complete opposite of Wesleigh!
She did sleep all night, which was a true blessing! This evening, we are going to find a McDonalds :) I have truly enjoyed the Chinese food this trip, but sometimes a french fry can do a soul good :)

It is unbelievable how she is transitioning. If a stranger were to see these pics, they would never in a million years know she just met yall 2 days ago. God is so good!!
She is so photogenic so I can't wait to see photo shoots of the two china dolls together. I love that she hams it up in front of the camera. Her personality is so precious!!
So glad the transition is going well. I will continue to pray for yall and for those back at home. Let us know how your mom is doing too?
Oh, and congratulations on the official adoption. I got so wrapped up in the pictures that I forgot about the great news. :)

Congratulations on your new daughter! She seems like she has been a part of the family forever already! I can't wait to see her with her brother's and Wesleigh, that is going to be so fun!
She looks so big! Is she a size 3? I LOVE her hair! It looks so thick and dark - beautiful! Love the braids! I just can't wait to see Gracie and Wesleigh together!
Happy Adoption Day!
Yes, bring on the Southern bows!! Is she about the same height as Wesleigh? She is just a doll and looks so happy. Congrats!
Jen,
Her hair is GORGEOUS!!! I love what you did with it! And that bow is quite fabulous!! She looks like a Hot Pink girl!!! I know she is a spark plug, but if anyone can handle her, you can!!!! Remember how you calmed Sienna down like she was a kitten!!! You have that gift!
Can't wait to see what tomorrow brings!

Oh yes....she appears to sparkle just like all the spicy hunan girls I know! What an absolute darling. Bless your time together. Rising each morning for an update has been a blessing!
I'm loving her in those BIg bows!! She is absolutely beautiful!! Congrats on the official adoption! What a blessed family! :)
That girl is just awesome -- no other way to say it! Congratulations on the "official-ness"!
So glad everything is going so well, Congrats! Gracie is just beautiful and she sounds just like my Hunan girl!

Congratulations! "charming" and "spark plug" seem to be accurate descriptions from your pictures. We are so glad to see an easy transition for you guys. She should love McDonalds. Thanks for posting. So glad you have this time together. LOVE the bow!! The french braids are adorable. Madelyn still gets me to do hers. Let us know if you 'need' someone else to skype ;) Love you!!!
What a doll!!!
I am so happy for you guys!! I love that Richard will put her earrings on for her. What a wonderful Baba.
Just knowing you guys are in China makes me miss you so much!! I can't wait to meet that little doll!! What a beauty!
Love you both!!
SOOOOO happy she (and you) are doing well! She IS a beauty- that's for sure and I love the bow! Enjoy your trip- it already seems like years ago that I was in that same office...but it was only 3 weeks! :)
Oh, she is such a beautiful little girl! Love the wink. She looks so cute in that pink dress and darling hairdo. No doubt she loves that blonde Barbie because it looks like her new Mama!
She is a doll!! I love how her personality just shines through the pictures. What a beautiful new blessing in your family!
She is just beautiful!! We were in that same Civil Affairs office and same hotel just three years ago adopting our little Carissa. We also have a "chunky" little Hunan girl. She was 24 lbs. when we got her at 12 months and she is still a solid and tall girl at the age of 4 (almost). Pray she continues to do well. Seems like she is adjusting just beautifully.
Congrats again. Gracie is just adorable.
I can't wait to see pics of her and Wesleigh!! What a COMBO OF CUTIES they will be!!!!
PS LOVE the way you styled her hair!!
Came back to add...CONGRATULATIONS ON THE ADOPTION!!
Yay yay yay~ she is totally a beauty!!! Amazes me that she is doing SO well!!! Makes me see all the more how sad Jing was last year when we got her. SO happy to see these gorgeous shots of her~ her hair is beautiful!!! Precious precious!!!
Blessings!
I love her winking at the camera!! What a little ham!! Her personality is shinning through in those pictures.... She might be keeping you on your toes. ; )
Love the big bow in her hair. Precious girl!
