Carolina & Co.

Shannon posting again. Sorry about the delay; I wanted to make sure some of these pics were okay to post.

Billy, Teesa, & Carolina have had a busy few days visiting with friends, visiting the orphanage where Carolina has spent her time, and even seeing the very spot where she was found as a newborn.

From Teesa:

Here are some pics of her yesterday. She's a real flexible little one. She can do splits and all. She sucks her thumb when she's sort of regressing into an "I need something" mode but doesn't know how to tell me what she needs. She sucks her thumb and grabs onto a piece of clothing or a towel when she's hungry or sleepy.

Visiting with Bill & Teesa's friend Erica.

The very spot where she was found, wrapped up on the ground in front of those doors.

God already had a plan for her!

This girl must love tea parties! This is her adorable friend Rebekah,

also recently adopted by some friends of Billy & Teesa.

Look at Rebekah laughing - so cute!

These two have a lot to talk about don't they?

More News from Teesa:

Carolina is doing great. We are finally figuring her out and her us. She sleeps twice a day, one long nap in the morning and one short nap in the later afternoon. Her actual stomach has increased in size and she wants to eat more and more at each meal (whereas last week she would eat maybe two tablespoons of rice cereal and 1/3 baby food jar, now she eats three baby food jars and a whole bowl of rice cereal). She's talking and babbling more too and loves to walk everywhere. Still not super attached to Dad, but if Mom is out of the room she is.

Billy, Teesa, and Carolina are scheduled to fly back this Saturday, the 20th. As you're praying for them this week, remember to pray for traveling safety and for logistics to go smoothly. Also, pray for Sam. They are missing him, and he's really missing them as well.

I'll post more pics and updates as I receive them. And soon, Teesa will be back in the blogging seat. Blessings!
