TEN THINGS I'VE ALREADY LEARNED ABOUT CALLIE BETH
1. She is a snuggle bug. Even though she was a little tense at first, she will now lay her head on my chest and put her arms around me, pressing as closely as she can.
2. She likes to eat!!!!! So far, she hasn't turned down anything we've offered her. Of course, it has been a rather "junk food" afternoon.
3. She is VERY INTENT when she plays. She sat in the floor for no less than an hour playing with the Lego blocks that I brought, stacking them and putting them in a bag and dumping them out.
4. She's not too crazy about men. Roger is DYING to get his hands on her, and she did actually let him sit in the floor by her when she was playing with the blocks. HOWEVER, when he kissed on her, she was quite distressed. She will be a daddy's girl before he knows it, though.
5. She is a SOUND sleeper. Right now she is taking a nap with the TV going full blast, and Molly Kate making all kinds of noise.
6. She does know some English. She has called me, "Mama" several times, and has said other words like drink and water. She is also speaking in Chinese, and sometimes sounds like she is talking like a caveman!!!!
7. She likes clothes and shoes!!! I tried a couple of pairs of shoes on her that I brought to see if they would fit. She kept putting them back on when I took them off. She was also fine when I tried some different clothes on her.
8. She likes HAIR BOWS!!!! When she was brought to us today, she had the hair bow in her hair that I had sent in a care package. I took it off this afternoon when I got ready to change her clothes. She immediately picked it up and wanted it back in her hair. WOO HOO!!! I have another hair bow girl!!!!
9. She LOVES a bath!!!! When I first put her in the tub, she started to cry just a little, but she stopped immediately. She splashed and had water EVERYWHERE!!! She put her face in the water, she slid down the back of the tub, and she LOVED it when I put Molly Kate in with her. I think she would have stayed in the tub all day!!!

10. She is SOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! I thought she was pretty in her pictures, but they don't do her justice.
Roger and I sure are a happy mama and daddy with the THREE BEST SONS and the TWO SWEETEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS in the WORLD!!!! I know we are just a little prejudiced, but........ :)
