More pictures since Laila's been home. Above is mommy and Laila looking at a puzzle at the Children's Museum. She had a great time!!
Happy little girl!!! We love her so much, we are so blessed!!
Not sure what she's looking at but she sure is interested.
Nema and Papa with Laila at the park by our house. (Scott's parents) They came out the day before we got home and met their newest grandchild. We were so happy to see them!!
Laila loved the swing but we were afraid she would fall thru the leg hole!! She's so little!! My friend Jami sent me clothes from her daughter and Kate's gone thru all her stuff of Gabs for small sizes. Laila is wearing 6-9 month clothes and the smallest sizes I had was 12 month. Anything 12 month has to be safety pinned to stay on.
Here's Grandpa (my dad) with Laila. He's so excited to have Laila home. He's staying at our house alot, wants Laila to know him. He lives downtown, about a 20 minute drive, but has been staying with us since we got home. He went to his place for 2 nights and is back here spending time with Laila. She walks into the guest room (Grandpa's room now) and brings him toys, it's so cute to watch them together.
Kate and my MIL decorated our house for our return. I LOVED it!! It was so fun to come home to balloons, streamers, signs and other decorations!!!
More decorations!!
The sign posted over our garage so we saw it as soon as we got home. Thank you Kate and Norma, we love it!!!
Laila meeting her family. From the right is Scott's dad, our nephew Nick, Scott's mom, my dad, Laila and daddy. Kate made shirts that they all wore with our 1st family picture and it said Laila JeanneLi Van Gieson, Gotcha Day, May 4, 2009. It was a nice surprise and very touching.
Here's Laila checking out Papa and cousin Nick.
Laila and daddy heading down the concourse at DIA, heading for the train to meet our family. It was so nice to be home!!! Laila is doing so good. She's very loving, wants lots of hugs and kisses and will give them to us willingly. We are loving every second of our beautiful daughter, life couldn't be any better!!!

Welcome home sweet Laila!!! I am so happy for you and your family!! I have followed your journey for what seems like years. (Since Fall 2007??) We too were a CCAI WCP family until we switched to Heritage when we found our Leilah Di!
We are now DTC for her Mei-Mei with yet another agency! lol We hope to be traveling in the Fall.
Your Laila is beautiful, and so tiny! She is amazing.
Hugs to you and your sweet family,
Sheri W. (Leilah Di and Olivia Xia's Mommy)

It looks like she is settling right in! She is so happy! Hopefully she is sleeping a little better and getting adjusted to Colorado time.

Thrilled for your family.
