Finally Home!

We are finally home and appreciate all of you wanting to know how little Noa is doing.  I think she really likes having two brothers.  She has really bonded with our oldest, Durden and will hold out her hands and call for "Bubba."  He adores her and loves to be with her more and anything in the world right now.  We have to be careful that he doesnt become the "parent" she bonds with because he is so great.  Now Dobbs on the other hand....well, he was playing with her the other day and handed her a rubber ducky and said, "Here Noa, you can take this toy home with you.  pause....when you go back to China."  He doesnt like sharing his toys but on the other hand he tells everyone he sees "this is my sister."  He seems very proud that he has a sister.  He loves to kiss and hug her and gets very excited when she picks him up from school.  He is really helping her eat.  She will try things if he eats them first and he is a fantastic eater!  She loves to see our St. Bernard and calls her in chinese which is the only word we think she says in her native language.  She can say "uh oh" and can sign for "more".  We have her hearing test on Tuesday and look forward to finding out the truth.  We really havent noticed any problem.
