Rose is tiny, so very tiny. We bought nine month clothes and they are falling off of her. I also have to say that in the middle of all the screaming we had a few minutes of calm and she looked at me and said, mama. We didn't get her until late this afternoon and she missed her nap so when we got home I removed the trillions of layers and changed her and she promptly fell asleep. I don't think she will be out for the night but we will see. The Aiyi's said that she likes to sing but they also said she doesn't use a pacifier or suck her thumb but she has her thumb planted firmly in her mouth and is clutching a very grungy shirt that she was wearing.
We need a little advice: Rosie has a very simple heart problem however when we got her undressed tonight we noticed that her sternum is very crooked, well it has more of a bump in it than being crooked. I will be ringing the ped' first thing in the morning but I just wondered if any of you have ever encountered this?
Off to stare at my beautiful girls.
love me
A hearty breakfast tto start the day

I am so happy for you! Congrats on being 4! Enjoy your time and soak it all up.
Keep smilin!
omgoodness... I'm so excited to see the pictures of sweet Rosie. I've never heard of a crooked sternum before but I'm sure your doctors will be able to relieve your fears.
Will be sending prayers that Lily is feeling better soon! Love the twirlie thing with her daddy!
This is wonderful news! (even if she is the screamer of the group)...our Lily was too!
I'm saying a prayer for sweet Lily so she feels better real soon and can make her little sis smile!
I also hope you get some answers regarding Rosie's sternum...I'll keep her in my prayers as well.
Hugs to you all!
OK Dawn, I just went and watched all of your videos from this special day - and I'm cryin' like a baby.

My partner, Rita says her son has that bump, and is present when he was skinny. Once he filled out it went away. Miss you! Off to look at the pictures and videos now. Congratulations!
Hey Cope family.
With a bit of luck you are all fast asleep after your exciting day. Thank you for sharing the photos. Rosie is simply adorable, even if she is the screamer. And what an adorable big sister Lily is. Congrats and sweet dreams. It's official! You are a family of 4 - whoohoo.
PS: I wouldn't worry too much about the sternum, it is probably just because she needs to gain some weight. Once you start fattening her up, it will be much less noticeable. Cadence and Hansen looked kinda weird when we first got them.
Dawn:
I am so thrilled for you and your beautiful family. Rosie is beautiful!!!
As far as the sternum goes, I would definitely go along with the concencus of opinion (non educated of course) that it is lack of meat on her bones that is showing you what you would bever see on a child with more weight. I cannot even begin to explain the weird bumps and bones we saw on Ethan when we got him but it is all gone now :)
I hope that Lily feels better soon.
I love you guys and we are so thrilled for you.
Love
me - with tears of joy as I type this
Congratulations Mommy, Daddy and Lily on your newest addition!
I know we have not met yet, but I am sitting here crying tears of joy for all four of you! What a wonderful start to the rest of your lives together (screaming and all!).
I hope the rest of the trip goes smoothly and that Rosie starts adjusting. I am sure there will be a smile soon!
Dawn,
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! The smile on your face says it all.

I went over to dropshots and Rosie is just beautiful. Even with her little tears. She will calm down soon I'm sure.
Lily looks beautiful on the red couch. It must be amazing to be there with her again.
How exciting. Congratulations. I just looked at the pictures and watched the videos. Rosie is so cute.
Poor Lily. I will pray that she is well very soon. Hard enough becoming a big sister to a screamer and then not feeling well. :-)
I don't know a thing about the bump. I will let you know if I can get a hold of my friend who is a doctor.
Congratulations on your newest little arrival! I'm going right now to see the pics.
Hope Lily feels beter soon.
Congratulations!!!!! Hope both your beauties are feeling better soon :)
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for all of you! I'm looking forward to pictures!! (hint, hint) Have a wonderful time in China as a family of four!!!
I am so happy for you all!
I'm wondering if the 'bump' you are seeing with Rosie's sternum is just a prominent xiphoid No big deal at all)??? Hard to know without more info. Hope all is well and keep us posted after the ped examines your girl.
Hugs to all.
Conrats!! I'm so excited for you. The pictures on dropshots are fabulous.
Don't know about the sternum, hopefully it's nothing.
I hope Lily feels better soon.

We are so happy for you all! What a beautiful family. I was just touched at seeing Lily with her sister in that gorgeous dress. I felt like I was right there. We love you guys!
Love,
Jenny, Ed, & Ebbie
CONGRATULATIONS to your beautiful family of 4!! Praying that Rosie settles in more peacefully as time goes on & that Lily is feeling better.
We got a screamer too 2.5 years ago... & she STILL screams when she is hurt/upset...sigh...but I wouldn't trade it for the world! ;)
HUGS!!
