Chloe Meets Bailey

Chloe meets Bailey!  Chloe finally got to meet the last member of our family.  Just like most of Chloe's experiences, she is afraid at first but then she enjoys.  She was a little afraid of Bailey at first, but she started to warm up more and more.  Chloe really likes hair and so she liked petting Bailey.  At first, she only liked petting Bailey on her back away from her face and tongue.  But then she would hold her arm out for Bailey to lick her hand!  She would laugh and giggle at Bailey.  I'm not sure if she can figure out her tail or not, but Chloe tries to sit on it if Bailey is wagging it.  Bailey is so tolerant.  Thank goodness for old dogs!

We have had some visitors and Chloe has done really well with strangers.  We are still amazed at how well she is transitioning.  We went out in the car again and she has done great in the car seat.  She sort of stares out the window and takes it all in.  She made her first trip to Walmart.  We bought her some shoes that fit.  She really seems to like shoes. 

She seems to be a little more picky with American food.  I'm not sure if she has sort of filled her tank up, but she is not inhaling the food quite like she did in China.  She slept better last night and I hope that will be the trend.  Caleb on the other hand is still having problems with jet lag.  He was up from about 1 to 7 am this morning and then fell back asleep.  I had to be the mean mommy and wake him up around 10, so he would sleep tonight.

I'm including a couple more photos from the end of our trip and a few from here at home.
