First full day with Claudia

This morning began our first full day with Claudia. 

She woke up well, had some juice, took a bath (she loves her baths) played for a little while and then went down for breakfast.  My oh my can she eat!  She had all kinds of fruit including some kind of melon, bananas, mango and kiwi.  She did not like the apples.  Anything she does not like, she just throws on the floor.   She also had some bread, eggs, yogurt and milk!  I am glad she likes a variety of foods.  Last night I was not so sure as she was throwing it all on the floor except for her pasta.

We hung out for a while after breakfast, then she had some Cheerios while she watched Clifford.  Shortly after that she laid down with Jason and took a nice nap.  Jason and I laid down for a while too.  We are still exhausted from everything, not to mention having a toddler!

Claudia is very independent and likes to do things for herself, as we were told before meeting her yesterday.  She does not want to be held or hugged much.  She is so full of energy, always on the go!  She knows how to help put on and take off her clothes and is great (usually) while having her diaper changed.  She gets frustrated when she cannot express herself, this is expected and something we will have to work on.


Claudia likes to hide her face under blankets.  She also likes it when we copy her motions.  Today was a good day, we only had a few breakdowns.  We are learning more about Claudia and hopefully she is getting more comfortable with us.

Enjoy a few more pictures:
