She's officially a Steele!


Today we finalized Phoebe's adoption at the Civil Affairs office.  She is officially a Steele!  This morning was very busy and she conked out during all of our errands. After doing our official paperwork,  we needed to go to Walmart to pick up a couple of things and also go to the pharmacy.  We were able to get some medicine for her as I suspect that she may have an ear infection that is bothering her.  She finally ate a decent meal today at around 3 pm.  I don't know if she is not eating due to not feeling well, or the fact that a stranger is trying to feed her, or both.  Probably both.  She has such a sweet and gentle personality and she seems fairly easy going so far. She definitely seems more like an 8 month old than a 14 month old.  Anyway, things are very quiet around here.  We are just enjoying our new baby girl and each other.  I can't wait for you guys to see how stinkin' cute she is in person!

We've uploaded a video you can download to watch.  Click on the link below.  It's a fairly large file, so sorry in advance for those with slow connections.  YouTube is blocked by all Chinese internet service providers, so we can't use it to share videos.
