Today Sophia and I went to Portland to Grandma Nancy's house. She is part of an amazing ecumenical Bible study that has been meeting together for 23 years. They hosted a baby shower for Sophia and me today. They bought a pack and play crib and lots of diapers and we had a great deal of fun playing "pass the

baby." Sophia was so good too! She was a very happy baby meeting all of these new

people. In the evening we set up the crib and Paul had some fun telling Sophia all about it. Doesn't she look like she's paying attention?
In the afternoon Paul and I had our post-placement visit with Christy

from our adoption agency. She came down to our house to make sure all is going well with Sophia. It was a lot of fun to see her because she is so nice and funny. She hadn't seen Sophia since birth, and there have been a few changes since then.
This is just an important part of the adoption process as the agency has reports they have to file with the Department of Human Services before our adoption can be finalized. All is going well with Sophia so we're moving rapidly towards finalization of our adoption.
Tomorrow Sophia and I are going back to Portland to spend part of the day with Grandpa John at the courthouse. That should be exciting! It's Take Your Kid to work day so we'll be joining him.
