Day 7, 10-18-2016 Registration Day

Today Zhou Li Dan officially became...

AYLA LYNNMARIE LIDAN FINCH

They day started off pretty well.  We got up, got dress and had breakfast.   Ayla will eat anything that she is given.  She has Not Stopped.  She loves her Watermelon (of course), but she also likes the bacon, bread and other fruits/veggies.


After we were done eating, B'Elanna enjoyed a little play and walking with Ayla before we got on the bus.



And then it was time to go to the Registration office.   This ended up being the same office that I had received B'Elanna in four years ago.   It has changed a bit, but the Mural on the wall and the Red Wall with the date were still there.  

Our Family!!

Stylish in her sunglasses...

... and not to be outdone, B'Elanna enjoying her's.

Signing paperwork making Zhou Li Dan,
AYLA LYNNMARIE LIDAN FINCH!!


After the registration office, B'Elanna and Grammy went back to the hotel, while Ayla and I went to the Notary paperwork and to get her passport photos completed.  I didn't get any photos of the Passport office, but I did get some pretty cute selfies of Ayla on the bus.





 When we got back to the hotel, I put Ayla on Grammy's lap for just a Second, B'Elanna climbed up on her lap too... and the next thing we knew... her face crumpled and HUGE crocodile tears!

B'Elanna grabbed the camera and snapped these pictures of Ayla's shocked face at her upset being acknowledged and comforted.   And the relaxation she experienced when comforted.  This is a REALLY good sign for attachment and bonding.

Our shoes all lined up... love the little one's at the end!!!
