Leia is doing very well. We came back from Richmond yesterday after seeing the doctor who is also a specialist in international adoption. She gave us an evaluation on her health and a second specialist evaluated Leia in relation to none-adopted babies. Physically she is doing fairly well. She is slightly underweight so the doctor recommended we put more food into her belly. And we thought we were stuffing her already. Remember when Garfield would eat so much lasagna his feet could not touch the ground. Leia almost seems to have the same type of belly. She could out compete your typical NFL watching couch potato in belly size.
Milestones wise she is close behind what would be considered normal. Our doctor commented that she seems very well attached to both of us. I guess all of that time rolling around with her on the floor paid off. She is a very physical baby and shows a lot of spunk. I hope she wants to do Ju-Jitsu like her dad because she will be a terror on the mat. She still says Da-Da a lot. Da-Da is me one minute or the remote control the next followed by a cucumber sitting on my plate. Eventually she will learn that I am much more cuddly then a vegetable.
Tomorrow Nina and I plan on taking a big trip out to the farmers market to buy some vegetables and fruit. It is hard to by organic food around here so hopefully the farmers market will have a better selection.
We hope to unveil Leia to the general public on Fourth of July. We think she is ready to see more of her family and in slightly larger numbers. Until then. Below is a video of Leia's first attempts at walking. We hope she leaping over horse jumps by the end of June. We will keep our fingers crossed.
