chiang kai shek memorial park
Our first eating out moment
She didn't like this outfit - Sarah (journeytohannahclaire.blogspot.com) you understand it's not Gymboree :) LOL!!! Actually I put her down to take this pic, not so happy with momma!

sleepy - do.Well today is finally our last day of this taiwan adenture! Tomorrow we take the trek home and start the real adventure huh? This is Tiffany again today - yes, I have showered today, have both hubby and daughter down to bed and I finally have a spare minute to myself , I probably should not say that too loudly huh?LOL
We have had a great time with some naps, our first adventure to a restaurant for breakfast,a visit to AIT for her VISA and a trip to Chiang Kai Shek memorial and a pizza party with me, sophia and daddy - yeah pizza hut delivers to the hotel, (thanks for the tip Kelly!) and well we needed it :)
Today was better, she still loves her momma and needs to be held - which I don't mind I know she needs this attachment to properly bond - but I wish I would've lifted weights and prepared my back for all of this - y'all warned me but did I listen? Nah.
She's precious, she really is - we are very blessed. Thank you to all of you for all of your commens I cannot tell you how much we enjoy them and read them every morning when we wake up - while I'm feeding sophia Chris reads them all aloud and then I cry and then we start the day :) It just has really touched our hearts allof the love and support we have felt from each and everyone of you. Love to all - -

She is so beautiful! Enjoy every moment of her hugs - that's the best part. We can't wait to see her in person, the pics have been great. Have a safe trip home and we'll see you soon!

Tiff,Chris & Sophia: We couldn't access the video but we are loving the pictures!! She is just sooo cute! Love her barrett and all of her outfits - what a fashion statement! We are praying you have a good trip home and can't wait til you are here tomorrow!!!! Yeah!!! All our love, Grammie & Grandpa
Enjoy your last day. I hope the flight goes smooth and she sleeps for you. It'll seem completely crazy at first when you get home but then it settles and you start seeing the real Sophia. The one who steals your heart all over again.
Congratulations,
Andrea :)

I just look so forward to your pictures of Sophia every day -you'll have to keep it up after you get home (like you won't have anythin else to do!) I just have to hold her when I see you-I promise it won't be long! She is just adorable, you want to take her and aqueeze her! It certainly looks like the bonding is going wonderfully- PTL! Just wait til she meets all of her family back home here-she has no idea what she is in for! I'm sure they are dying to meet her. Enjoy your remaining time as just the 3 of you, because it probably won't happen again for a long time - I bet you'll have lots of company for awhile. God bless you all on your way home, have a safe and happy trip, and hope to see you soon.
Love

She is such a cutie! Happy Thanksgiving to you all - a family of 3!!
Tiff, you're a natural! Look at you in those pictures with your daughter! She was meant for you! And of course, you & Chris were meant for her. You both are truly giving this little girl the BEST of the BEST gifts possible--a loving & accepting family, security, status, wealth, and a huge head start in life. Your gift is selfless...and that is what real beauty looks like. I'm so proud of you both.
You'll be in our prayers for a safe and easy journey home. Can't wait to see you all in person so I can give you the official celebratory "Yak" Yell. You know what I'm talkin' bout.
Love to all of you, Krista
Completely sweet. The cuddles. The barrette. The sad "Hold Me Mommy" face is even completely sweet. Knowing that the three of you are a *family* makes this an extra-Thankful Thanksgiving, doesn't it? And, yes, the adventure truly starts *now*. Parenthood is wonderful, heartbreaking, tiring, fulfilling, sweet, tender, funny, silly, sentimental, and amazing. I'm thrilled that you'll be experiencing it all with this gorgeous little girl.
Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry we could not be together to celebrate the day because we have so much to be thankful for (a precious little girl named Sophia). Hope you have a safe trip home. We can't wait until we meet our grandaughter.
Love Mom & Dad
Congratulations Tiffany and Chris. We're thinking of you and wish the three of you a great Holiday, enjoy! We can't wait to come home and meet her and to catch up with you. She is beautiful and we couldn't be happier for you. All of our love-Aunt Donna and Uncle Jim
Okay, so not only is pink her color, but the black/white tiger print suits her too...she is so your daughter Tiff! The pictures are terrific, and I can't wait to hear all the stories from the trip! Hope you have a safe and quick trip home. Happy, happy Thanksgiving (brings on a whole new meaning huh?)!
Love, Keri
Chris, Tiffany, Sophia - I am so happy to see you all together!!! It looks like she is adjusting so well amidst all this change in her little life!! The pictures of her cuddling with you are soooooo sweet!! Congratulations and warmest well-wishes to you all, and safe travels home!!

homeward bound YEAH HOOOO! I've loved being able to experience this with you guys through the pics/videos! I can't say enough how happy i am for you three and can't wait until you're home safe & sound. I LOVE that she is a cuddler and wants her mommy, there's nothing better in the world, i can feel your heart just smiling tiffy and it makes my heart smile. Dont worry Chris, the girls usually turn and become daddy's girls so you're time will come..of course it might not be until the challenging teenage years but it will come. haha!
Can't wait to have you all home
Lots of Love Lo
ps she is incredibly stylish tiffy, not that I had any question that she would be, i love her hair accessories and a girl that can do strips, god bless her! =)

Sierra left you a comment on your movies post and she has really enjoyed following your journey and said she feels like she knows you and Sophia! She asks every day if there is any news about Sophia so we now check your blog first thing every evening! I think you all look great and Sophia is just so gorgeous! Good luck on your trip home and I will be emailing you soon. Thanks for everything you did for us btw!!!!

Be well, look forward to hearing more of you adventure through this blog.
Lots of love! Dawn
She is soooo precious! We miss you at work, Tiffany, but we understand. We can't wait to meet your daughter!
WHAT, NO GYMBOREE? (laughing out loud) Haha, Tiffany... you silly mama. Wishing your family of three a very blessed thanksgiving. Uh oh, I'm think I'm going to start crying now... what a beautiful little blessing. Okay, real question here. How many Taiwanese pacifiers did you buy as I hear the St. Lucy's kiddos sometimes don't like switching to our US pacifiers?
Congratulations! She is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
