Day 5 07/14/09 - It's Official Amie slept a solid 12 hours last night and woke around 7:00am. We got up several times to check on her and put the covers back on. After the first bottle in morning, she became much more playful and is adjusting well. We are slowly transitioning her off the Chinese formula to some USA brands which have better nutrients.

The big event of the day was going back to the processing office to apply for Amie's passport and be sworn in as her official parents. We delayed our ceremony a few minutes and were pretty flustered when we had some quick diaper duty calling. We stamped our fingerprints in red ink over our names to make it official. The office people were all extremely nice.

We went to dinner at the nice restaurant hotel which has a great buffet selection. Daddy ate some baby octopus, jellyfish, stomach, sushi, duck, local fish (maybe not the best choice). There were several other dishes that I deemed to risky to try such as duck mouth.

Overall,we really enjoyed just having a relaxing and playful day with Amie. We look forward to tomorrow.
