Kristiana Hope Witt

Our first glimpses . . . .

She has stolen our hearts :) We met our little Princess this morning at about 10 am in the Government Building. We were filling out paperwork and keeping the kids from bouncing off the walls (unsucessfully of course!) when the nanny suddenly walked in with Tia. We didn't really catch it all on camera, but hopefully on video.

What a little doll. We decided you can talk about naming a child all you want and the minute you meet her she immediately has a nickname. Tia is Peanut, or Itty Bitty Boo. She is tiny! We put a 6-12 month outfit on her and it fits. She likes to eat or at least to be holding food all the time. She is a snuggler (yeah!) and she is a bit scared by the Wild Witt gang. We think the last time she was taken somewhere out of the Childrens Garden (as they call the Social Welfare Institute here) was most likely when she had surgery on her heart, so it is no wonder she is a bit scared. We can hold her all day but the minute we try to put her down she has this sad little wimper. You know the kids are so disappointed that we have to hold Tia all the time - NOT! Tia has all three of the kids wrapped around her little finger. She gave them all kisses at dinner tonight :)

I am so hoping that I am successful at posting photos - if not then I am really sorry :(

Tomorrow we go visit the SWI at YiWu. We are looking forward to meeting XiXi and Kaiya!

Tia taking a nap, the first day with us, she is so sweet.

Cheers from Hangzhou, land of our sweet Tia.
