Alexis Kay Cartwright

Well, its official!  She's finally ours.  We signed adoption papers and a birth certificate today then went to pick her up.  We've had fun today. However, we did find out that we do not have enough toys to entertain a 2 year old in a hotel room :)  Luckily it's warm today, so we took a couple of walks around the courtyard in front of the hotel.  They turned off all the fountains 2 days ago, so she couldn't see those but the horses and ponies were out in full force.  She also loved the pigeons everywhere.  Coming home from the orphanage she fell asleep in my lap which, of course, in Cartwright tradition meant she didn't want her afternoon nap!  Also in the typical Cartwright fashion, she loves to eat so that's great.  We just finished giving her a nice warm, long bath and greased her up with good ol' Johnson and Johnson.  We're going to try to call the boys a little later and then its off to bed.  You can pray she sleeps well in the hotel.  It's pretty noisy, but we have a real crib so hopefully she'll settle right in.  They don't give us a whole lot of info on her habits or likes so its hard to know what she's used to as far as routine.  I still can't believe its finally for real!!!!
