Today's visit with Kellsey went really well. We were put into a different room this time... some sort of office. They brought her in, she got upset for one second, I pulled out a gummy bear, and all was right with the world! LOL They left us alone after that and we had 2 hours on our own.
We blew some bubbles, which she thought was pretty fun. After awhile she tried to blow them on her own, it was so funny! We're going to have to work on that, she had the idea down though! We sang the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" complete with hand motions... over and over... and over. LOL She has the hand motions down perfect though! We looked at the photo album with the family pictures again. She wanted to know everyone's names and she studied my lips REALLY closely as I was saying them all. By the end she was saying something that sounds very close to "Keeghan".
We did get lots of smiles today and even some laughs. We figured out she likes to be tickled... I think. We're not sure she's ever BEEN tickled before. At first she wasn't too sure, but then she started laughing and then when Frank stopped tickling her she grabbed his hand and put it back to her neck to do it again. We're finding ways to get past our communication barrier :).
Towards the end, Frank pulled out my iPhone and Kellsey discovered the wonderful world of Spongebob *groan*. LOL It wasn't a movie, just an app, but she had a LOT of fun with it. NO doubt she'll fit in well with our crew! haha We have it on video which I'll get posted soon.
Kellsey seemed to be a little croupy today, so I'm hoping she's not getting sick, especially that she's not getting the flu! She was happy though and seemed very content to be with us. At noon they came to get her for lunch. We gave her a hug goodbye and she happily ran down the hall to eat. We're excited to see her again tomorrow!!!
Here are some pictures from today!

P.S. Please wish her a very HAPPY Birthday tomorrow from the Brown family..:)
Love her big smile!! I have to tell you Nika reacted the same way to tickles. She loved it, but it was almost like she was afraid to laugh or let it out. She would sort of groan/laugh ... soo funny.
What a precious little girl. She has a wonderful life ahead of her. She is so blessed to have you two in her life. Stay well and safe.
She is one of you already, i love the pictures. Are you calling her Kellsey or her Ukrainian name?
Did Nadya think it was OK to share Kara's picture with her orphanage?
She is so adorable! I know y'all are having so much fun getting to know her and vice versa :) Praying that everything continues to go well.
Sorry I forgot to sign my name to the last post until I saw that it said "kellsey said" :)

I love the pictures! She looks a little like Kennedy to me. Maybe I am crazy, but she seems to have that sweet mischievous like baby Kenny used to. Sorry, AJ called her baby Kenny, and I always think of her like that lol.
She is so cute! Finally a pic of her smiling, she looked so serious in all of the other pics. What a doll!
