She walked by herself for the first time today. 3 steps from the couch to me, but 3 steps all on her own. We knew it was just a matter of time as she could stand up by herself and toddles around the furniture holding on as she goes. It was just that she was in a crib most of the time and didn't have an opportunity to walk before this. Now, on the flipside, she has room and plenty of encouragement to roam around.
More news about how she is getting along with the dogs. I'm happy to report that Maeve and Baby & Smudge are all fast friends now. Smudge even received a kiss today. :) Please note, I did not get a kiss, but the dog had one. Hmmm, plan on working on this one. :))
All in all it was a very good day, with high hopes of it being a good night as well. Maeve slept in until 10am this morning after waking up from 2-3am last night. After that she seemed back on schedule and went down with barely a peep at 9pm (her normal bedtime) tonight. Time will tell if she sleeps the whole night, but I am hoping. Her jet lag is less every day and her cold has greatly improved as well. Today we had a couple of short trips and she goes into her car seat with barely a cry now, not to mention she likes her stroller, honking the play horn as we go along. She even sat in her highchair without crying and took her nap in her playard (play pen) pretty easily. Now if she would just warm up to bath time, we would be in fine shape. :)
Well enough of the update, here are some pictures...

Congrats! To experience your kiddo toddling on their own for the first time is really a lucky part of adoption.
However, now it's time to have your head on a swivel!
She is just beautiful :)
She is adorable. Looks like she and the dog are having a stare down over the toy. Hope she won!!
