Josephine's crib at the orphanage

This is a picture of her crib at the orphanage.

The routine orphanage life has trained her to lay down in her bed and immediately fall asleep! The hotel automatically placed a pack and play in our room and she pointed to it and said "Qian Ru", which is her sweet Chinese name. I put her in and she promptly began sucking her two fingers and went to sleep.

I love her already!!! As the Russian doctor who checked out Tim and Allie told us, "They have not had the most perfect life so far but they have some very good habits. Do not let them lose those." Her going to sleep on her own and sleeping all night will be a wonderful blessing!!! Can't wait to see you all! Nancy
