Happier By The Day

We went out to dinner last night with our group. The food was good! We had to wake Mattie up from her nap to go to dinner. She was not so gracious being woke up a 2nd time in the same afternoon and was a bit grumpy at dinner. Once we got back to the room she was feeling much better though!

She's definately warming up to the camera...

We went to a park today and walked around for a couple of hours with our group and then everyone went to lunch. Mattie was happy - they served noodles as soon as we arrived!
She fell asleep on the bus on the way home...

When she woke up we played and I think she had fun...what do you think?

I know they're a bit fuzzy but she was moving fast while she laughed

I LOVE this little face and she makes it all the time. She is popping a tooth so I'm guessing a couple of teeth will keep her from making it much longer.

I really, really, really think my daddy is great!

Today is the most eye contact she's made during her bottle time. I'm really feeling good about the strides we're making each day.

I am usually a happy girl after my naps.

I am as certain as I can be that the nanny gave Mattie the photo book we sent in her care package. She loves to look at it. And as soon as we open it she looks at the photo of herself. Anytime the album is out, she reaches for it even if there are other toys out.

We got the cameras we sent in the care package back too, and they were full of photos! I am thrilled to have these extra pictures and they will be meaningful to Mattie one day.

You are my hero daddy
