Home almost a week!

It's been almost a week since we arrived home, and Cupcake is doing great. She even likes me when Dada's not around. We've had playdates and doctor appointments and big brother's soccer practice, and she's been going with the flow through it all. The needles at the doctor's, however, not so much. The nurse could not do the TB test after many attempts. The lab tech could not get any blood after several attempts. She likes needles about as much as her mommy does. We will try again at the lab next week with someone who knows Cupcake is coming and is a tough case. We are also waiting for appointments with the pediatric orthopedic doctor in Concord to address her torticollis and the pediatric opthamologist in Concord also for a vision screening b/c of the torticollis. Fun fun!

She is a very easy baby so far and the transition from 3 kids to 4 has been the easiest so far too. Her brothers cannot get enough squeezes and kisses on her and both want to carry around all the time. Sparky is less sure of the value in this baby sister so far but says when she is older, they will play together. The dogs LOVE having a toddler around to drop tons of food at the table, and Cupcake has decided the dogs are pretty funny to have around.

We missed the first day of school photo so below is the 2nd day of school photo.



Cupcake still loves to eat although she is veto-ing more and more foods. But strawberries are a fast favorite.

Just in case anyone was worried that I might not gain back the weight I lost in China, J ordered thi scake before we left from the best cake maker at our favorite deli, so I am well on my way back to where I started before eating next to nothing the first week in China and throwing up what I ate the second week.

Thursdays are girls' day this year as that is The Spark's day off from Pre-K, and we had a nice, lazy day at home yesterday.
