Isla is now officially part of our family. We returned to The Civil Affairs Office this morning to complete the adoption process!! All went smoothly, and Isla is now our daughter, not only in our hearts, but also on paper.
Last night went well with Isla sleeping 6 and a half hours, then waking for one hour, then back to sleep for another 2 and a half hours. The only one having difficulty sleeping was surprisingly, her baba.
In the morning, Isla had a full bottle, then she played with her stacking cups and rings (thanks Anna and the girls). Isla is curious and observant and is imitating what we do with the toys. We all went down to the breakfast buffet where Isla enjoyed her first bites of yogurt and mashed banana. She also enjoyed playing "drop the toy" game.
It is so great to see her little smile and hear her laugh! She is not too generous with these things yet, but we already see her opening up with us. She recognizes us and will look at us and smile sweetly. She loves being cuddled by both of us!
Right now she is napping soundly!...We will be back soon, hope that all of you in Tahoe and
Love, Barb, Will, & Isla

She is so cute!!!! And looks quite content playing with her toys. Keep the photos coming!
You all make such a beautiful family!! I cried when I saw the picture of the three of you! I am so happy for you : )
That is nice that she is mostly sleeping through the night. Do you know how much she weighs? I know she will get weighed a couple days before you leave so you probably do not know yet. Is it too cold to go to the pool?
Wow! It is really real!! What a BEAUTIFUL girl!!!!!! Isla looks very comfortable, like she always knew she was meant for you! I am sooo happy for you! Now where is that benedryl for the flight home!?
