Happy Day!!

Sophie's first bath - no crying!!
It was an amazing day today!  The bus ride to the orphanage took about two hours and they were probably the longest two hours of our lives.  When we arrived at the orphange our guide took us all to the washrooms to freshen up (squatty potties and all!) and the guys made it in to the office before us.  The babies were all almost asleep and there was hardly any crying (except for all of the parents)!  Sophie immediately fell asleep and stayed asleep for our tour of the orphanage.  She sat with Brad for most of the trip home - she is facinated with his beard.  Once we arrived at the hotel the crying began - except for when she had her bath and when she inhaled her bottle.  She has exhausted herself with crying and trying to crawl.  Hopefully she sleeps well tonight and is more relaxed tomorrow.  Sophie is tiny!  She is about 7.5 kg with tiny hands and feet.  She is very interested in all of her toys and especially loves the pictures of Carson.  We will post again tomorrow after our visits with the Doctor, bank and notaries.  Miss you all!

Kate can't wait to see Sophie. She looks very cute and thinks that Sophie has very nice hair. Kate really wants to see all of Sophie's pretty dresses. When she is bigger Kate would like to play Barbies and babies with her. From Kate...
