Special Visitor

This afternoon I had a special visitor come over to my flat. After playing with the older kids from the Main House on the playground for a little while, I was ready for some snuggling with our newest little baby. She arrived Friday afternoon, and I've spent a significant amount of time with her each day since.

Unfortunately, I can't use her real name on my blog until she's legally abandoned (which, I believe, takes 60 days). So for now I am going to call her "Hannah."

I asked the caregivers in the baby room if I could "kidnap" her for a little while, and they laughed and told me as long as I didn't leave the property that was fine. So I snuggled her into her yellow fuzzy blanket and carried her outside for a walk.

She was wide awake, so we went for a nice long walk around the Lighthouse property and watched Hope jump rope on the trampoline. I talked to her a lot and kissed on her little cheeks and finally got her to smile! It was so cute! After a while though she fell asleep, so I took her back to my flat where we did some rocking and snuggling in the rocking chair.

Right around dinner time, Dr. Neil showed up, so I took her back to the baby room for a quick check-up with him. He looked her over and thought she looked just fine. I got her all bundled up in her blanket and put her in one of the car seats (since she still isn't too crazy about her crib). Within minutes, she was fast asleep again.

I'm really bonding with little "Hannah." And I'm pretty sure she thinks I'm her mom.
