We signed the official adoption papers today! Nora got her photograph taken for her passport. She was not happy about that! Then we celebrated by eating lunch at a Noodle House. Nora loves noodles, rice and fruit.
Nora has learned many new things already! Brad taught her how to give high fives. She mimics the girls facial expressions in the funniest way. And she calls me ma ma and Brad ba ba. (mom and dad in Chinese) She learned how to give hugs. She rode in a stroller for the first time and she can ride the elevator like a pro. She said ding dong for the bell in the elevator and she is learning how to hum twinkle, twinkle little star. She also discovered books! Our guide said she probably didn’t have any books in the orphanage. She loves flipping through the pages looking at pictures.
Here are some cute pics. A kiddo in my class gave me the bunny hat. Her mom made it for Nora. It fits perfectly!
