We have a petite little girl sitting here with us as I type. In her first few hours with us she has been a quiet, peaceful angel. We had a chance to meet with her caregivers who clearly adored her. They told us she was a special girl, that she was "shy and likes to be held all the time." So far, that's what we've done and the only whimpers have come when we've put her down. She has the hair of a 3-year old and the frame of a 6-month old. She is so small I just can't believe it. We're told she sleeps through the night, but don't expect her to do so for a while necessarily. We are so in love with this baby. My heart was full-grown, it doubled when I met Anthony and now, to quote the Grinch, my heart grew three sizes this day.

YAAAAYYYYY!!!! She is beautiful! She's got Anthony's cheeks and Michelle's eyes! Congratulations!
Hi Mr. and Mrs. Foronda, She is soooo adorable. I think all my advise really helped you both. I bet she is happy to have a new home. I miss you SOOOO much:) I try not to cry. Beatrice looks different that the pictures in your office. You guys look very happy with her. We all can't wait until you come home. P.S. have fun:) Love Aubrie and Maria
I am going to start looking for the DVD "My Girl" so I can break Beatrice in to some of Michelle's baby sitting tricks that earned her the "Our Favorite Babysitter" award when she watched our kids. Mary Elizabeth still can't get over that night. Congratulations to all three of you. Beatrice has found the family with whom she was meant to be. Love the three-year old hair and Mama and Papa could not appear to be any prouder. Can't wait to hold her too. Safe journey.
