Introducing Teagan Elizabeth Xiaoyue Fineman

Our sweet Teagan. She seems very healthy. Smiled very quickly after we met her, some laughing too. We found out that she has been with a foster mother and father these past six months! This morning she left them, drove about four hours and came to us. She really is happy, loves the toys and mirror but esp likes interacting with us. Great eye contact. Only tricky spot so far is diaper changing. I have NEVER seen a kid get so mad and flight about that. Doesn't mind clothes off or on, just also doesn't like the act of doing it. We are tired. All napped a bit, we are off to another meeting and there is some thunder. Rain and cooler temps tomorrow. No matter, this ball of sunshine is here. We will post more when we can. Love to all!
