Last post from first day

She cried herself to sleep and then we woke her up for supper about an hour later.  She didn't want to eat, but did drink two bottles.  We decided to try going for a walk outside since there is a nice breeze and she loves being outdoors.  She enjoyed the walk and we even got a couple of tiny smiles.  LOTS of stares, but that's OK.  She's a beautiful girl!  And she is BIG!!  She will be 18 months old later this week and I bet the 24 month clothes I brought are going to be snug.  She has been well-fed for sure!!She cried more when we skyped with the boys later.  I think she was overwhelmed and exhausted.  J and G were very interested in her and it was so great to see them - even if just by computer screen.  We miss them so much!  Emily finally let me wash her with warm washcloths and she let me change her clothes.  She was either totally worn out or really did enjoy a nice leg and foot massage and a bedtime book with Daddy.  She just laid there quietly while I rubbed her feet.  When I'd stop, she'd put her feet back into my hands.   Sweet girl knew how to get more of what she wanted.  :)  She is sleeping peacefully now, but I won't be surprised by more tears tonight or by morning.  She was well loved and she loved a lot in return.
