Taylor has been with us a week today, and things are much different today than a week ago. On day one, she was a little timid and cried off and on. By that night she was jumping in the bed. :-) The week has been very sweet and she now knows who we all are. We have gone out a couple of times and she really clings to us--which is a great sign. That means that she trusts us and is bonding with our family. She won't let anyone else hold her.
We have seen much more of her personality, and she really just fits right in. Check out this video of how silly she is. This is a game that we all play sometimes with Stephen, but tonight we let Taylor be the leader. When Stephen was the leader she didn't want to play, but when she was the leader--she really got into it.
About 30 minutes after this video, I got my biggest surprise yet. I leaned in to give her a kiss, and she kissed me first. My heart melted. Then she gave kisses to Isaac and Joel--but she is playing hard to get with Stephen and Autumn. (You can see in this picture how much bigger Stephen is than Taylor.)
Today she had a fever and was a little whiny throughout the day and slept more than usual. But after a little bit of tylenol, she perked up again. We are praying that she and Stephen will both feel better tomorrow. He started feeling sick after his nap today too.
We are so thankful for how well Taylor is adjusting. Please keep praying for us and our paperwork and that all will get finished in time. We can't wait to officially call her ours. :-)
