GiGi's doc apt

I wanted to quickly update on GiGi's doctor's apt yesterday. First off, I was glad she didn't get us into trouble when she a little girl came in crying & she started yelling "You cry!"  We all tried to quieten her, but GiGi just thought that was funny!  Other than that, it went great & our doctor said she had never seen a child come from a foreign land in such great shape, well adjusted, & as age appropriate as GiGi.   Can you see this mama's big ol' smile????  It was later on Friday & the Memphis Campbell's clinic was not open so they are calling Monday to get her an appointment there with the orthopedic specialists for her missing ribs & scolosis, etc.  

I cannot tell you how well adjusted GiGi is with her/our family!  She acts as if she has always been with us & we feel as if she has always been with us!  She is as silly of a child as I've ever seen.  Happy/Happy/Happy!!! She is constantly laughing, giggling, smiling, etc. Don't get me wrong, she can pitch a fit with the best of them; however, she is smiling as soon as it is over! lol   You should have seen her yesterday throwing her sucker down & slapping the side of her leg when she got tired.  I then put her in the pack-n-play & she yelled & threw all her toys out before she threw herself on the floor of the p-n-p kicking & screaming.  She was asleep within 5min but she sure did not want that nap! lol

All here is great!  It's as if none of us ever had an adjustment period; GiGi was just here & it felt like she had always been.  Her vocabulary had slowed down up until Bubba & Sissy went to school.  The last few days she has added lots of new words.  However, what kid would use words if you could just grunt & your siblings would run to guess your need!  Momma don't jump & run like Dolt & Maaaacy at grunts.  I'm mean & make her use words! lol

And you know I told you yesterday I'd not completely unpacked.  Well, Phil didn't put up the suitcases that I had unpacked & he broke his foot on one last night.  Nope, again not kidding & he is in a boot!    Other than that there is nothing new & exciting to tell!  I hope you all  have a great Saturday & I'll update you all again soon!
