Canadian for a week.

Well, we have been home for a week now and are finally settling in. It's been a busy week. We arrived at the airport friday and to our surprise there were about 85 people waiting for us. Ali loved the crowd and attention. Thanks everyone. We had a doctors appointment that afternoon and Ali was just fine except a cold but we switched formulas on the doctors advice. Saturday, Grandma V. (Ali's g.g.) passed away but she followed the blog and knew she was home safe before she was called home. This week we got Ali her health card and s.i.n. card so she could get a complete medical which we did on thursday and started her file with him and she is doing just great. Grandma's funeral was wednesday and I was a pallbearer and my father and I delivered the eulogy. In between all this we have had many phone calls and visitors and last but not least a little sleep. Ali hasn't quite turned around to Canadian time yet but is very close and we are all settling in nicely now. Her skin has cleared up. She is eating and sleeping good (albeit she is a Chongqing girl and it's on her stubborn terms) and has found her favourite toys and things around the house. We are amazed at how she changes and adapts each day. She loves her exersaucer and just about jumps right out of it and laughs out loud. She can stand against things now and when she holds our fingers we can pull her up from laying down to a standing postion. She is still very active and and is the apple of everyones eye. She babbles a lot and can say mamamama and dadadadada. It is amazing at how such a little person can have such an engaging personality already. Everything is great in her world as long as her new mommy and daddy are within' eyeshot.
