What do we know about Elita Mei Digsby by the end of her first couple days with us?
She is indeed our "Chosen Little Sister" - chosen by God for the Digsby family from the beginning of time. She is of the Wa nationality who are known for their love of dance, song and fire, their deep brown skin, their beauty, and their traditional dress is black and red (GO Dawgs!). Is she a Digsby or what! Seriously!
Weight: about 21#, height: taller than the average 1 year-old Digsby :), super brown super soft skin and gorgeous deep brown, bright eyes; she has 1 top tooth and one bottom tooth and another top one coming in...and the sweetest little pouty lips. She is a doll! We just can't stop looking at her and kissing her little sweet face! (You just saw a Daddy that is PURE MUSH!)
Likes: to play uh-oh-oh-oh game (drop and comment :), to unload her diaper bag, play buzzing lips with Daddy, and to peek over the seat on the bus to flirt. She likes to hold her own bottle and will peel our fingers off it if we do - gave in 1x today, though :). Loves to sing (nah-nah-nah) and bobs her head side to side when she does, using one hand like a conductor. So cute! She loves to have her hair brushed and liked her 2nd bath better than the first. She is not a picky eater (YAY!) and loves watermelon (so far likes everything she's tried except baked beans). She almost has the "more" sign down. Elita wants to be held a lot, loves to cuddle, and needs Mommy to be in eye-shot and preferably within reachat all times except when well-rested...so far she's been tired a good bit of the time. She likes to make crazy faces for the camera - see the one here.
She has smiled quite a bit for us and her little 2 teeth are so cute! She is a busy bee, walking well and getting into everything. She doesn't like her socks on when she sleeps and is not loving the footie sleepers or tights because no matter how hard she pulls they won't pull off. She doesn't seem to be at all delayed as most orphans are. Praise God for answering our 467 days of prayers and for her precious caretakers in Lincang City! She is a stinker - looks right in our eyes and drops her food or cup off her high chair tray, threw a leg-kicking fit today, blows pouty bubbles when she's crying to get her way, and tilts her head and nuzzles into you when she wants her way...she's a pretty typical 15 month old girl...and we are grateful :).
Baby on the Move
Mommy's going to eat you up

Too cute. It looks like she already knows who her parents are and loves you already. FYI, Emerson heard you playing peek-a-boo and was copying you. She learned a new trick all the way from China.
