A night on the Town






Running around in her birthday suit is a new experience for sure. She loves to have her hair brushed, put on a pretty new dress and go out on the town. This girl does not like to stay in the Hotel at all. She is way too social for that. Going to sleep is getting better she is not fighting it as much and can even be put down in the crib instead for having to be walked up and down the hall. She even wakes up with a smile on her face now.

OH my gosh, Paulette, this is so exciting. Her progress seems amazing, and your and Will's photos have allowed us to share in your journey. Your Mom and Dad are bursting at the seams! Fondly, Kaaren

Great pics =)

Going to bed easier could certainly mean she is trusting you more & she feels secure (i.e she trusts that you'll be there in the AM). How wonderful . . . you're doing an amazing job!

Love the crocs on the wrong feet, LOL. She is too cute. Congrats over and over again.

So sweet!

I loved seeing her little feet sticking out of the crib. My
Gwen did that all the time too. And Annalise has the same "crowded" toes as Gwen (they overlap). The similarities never end!

Dear Paulette,

You must already be in the air on your way back to California. After such a long trip, you must be anxious to get home and sleep in your own beds. Annalise must be afraid and excited all at the same time. I hope that the endless outpouring of love she's receiving will make it easy for her.

It's been such a joy for me to watch this unfold. I still go to the 'what we like' post and the pictures bring tears to my eyes. What you and Annalise are doing for each other is such an incredible gift. You are both so blessed.

Thank you for sharing this with us!

Love,

Mark

Paulette, your daughter is beautiful and the two of you look so natural together! It is great seeing her smiling and laughing - Will, thanks for all the photos! - and she already says: Mama, that's awesome! She looks like she is enjoying all the exploration and all that's new, hopefully she will like the long flight, too, and there is a lot to come when you get home... You will have soo much fun with her, we are so happy for you!!! Love Ivana, Dave, Maya
