SHE'S HERE!!!

Clarisse just arrived!!!  She's a tiny little thing, even more adorable in person than in the pictures.  So far she seems quite content with us, allowing me to hold her, taking a rice-formula combo from Christy, and playing nicely with Pickles the Monkey Puppet.  She's been fairly quiet so far but is obviously responsive and with it, including finger holding, eye contact, and smiling.    She is significantly delayed with her motor skills.  For example, while Cedric was crawling at 9 months, poor Clarisse can't even sit upright.  It's quite common in babies from orphanages since they're bundled up and don't get much opportunity to move around.  We'll get her back on track ASAP.   OK, that's all for now.  Much, much more to come!!!
