Yesterday, HannahKate had her first doctor's appointment that lasted two hours. She had three vials of blood taken from her right arm, a TB shot in her left arm, and two more shots one in each leg. On top of that, we have to collect seven containers of her poop to be tested (within a 48 hour period). All of this is part of the adoption check-up, but let me tell you this girl seems to have a high tolerance for pain. She had no markings, swelling, bruising, or fever from any of the shots, and went on with her day as normal. I was hoping that through all this she would attatch to mommy more, but instead she did not want to be comforted by me, just pushed off of me.
HannahKate is definitely not an affectionate child like Jonathan, but she finally smiles when we kiss her instead of pulling away. However, she is a happy-go-lucky girl who likes to get into anything and everything. She does not sit still for a moment, but it sure is fun chasing her around. She loves to run back and forth between mommy and daddy (a new favorite game), and hide between my legs while I try to cook dinner. Her busyness keeps the house messy, the cat guessing which window she will look out next, and our hearts racing with joy. There is never a dull moment in our house anymore keeping up with both our crazy kids.
