More shopping!
Today was almost a free day. Our guide went to the consulate for us with all of our paperwork and we just had to check in by noon to make sure there were no problems and since we didn't hear anything it looks like we will be back in the states as scheduled. Honestly China is a facinating country and I have enjoyed my time here but we are so ready to be home. Taking care of a baby who barely knows who you are in a hotel room is not the easiest thing. As you should be able to tell by how exhausted we look. Yes I have read the comments of no makeup, lets just say it is easier to keep your face clean without the extra mess of makeup when you can't use the tap water to wash your face with. However, I don't think the water bothters the locals because Kaleigh LOVES to splash in the tub and ends up with water everywhere and she hasn't gotten sick yet. For those of you who are following because you are on the same journey please note that the Barbies the White Swan gives out are no more. They placed there last order and found out that the factory that makes them is here and they have closed. They have our names and say they will ship them to us if they end up getting them but I am not counting on it at this point. Yes, I am a little disappointed but otherwise I have exactly what I came to China for, my daughter, and by the way she even seems to like me already!!! We did take her to the Swan Room last night to play and she had a blast!!!!
Paper Work and Italian Dinner
Hi everyone it is Sandy again. Today has been a good day. Our little girl is just so much fun. She had a great day with her daddy today while mommy finished up the paperwork that will allow us to bring her to the USA. Tomorrow our guide will take it to the US consulate to make sure that everything is ok and then the next day we go for our oath. Kaleigh is so much fun she is like the energizer bunny meaning she does not stop moving until she falls asleep. When she is just with Brent and I she baby talks constantly and squeals with delight all the time. We are still having issues with getting her to eat more than just formula but tonight at our Italian dinner she was eating the sauce from my lasagna. Maybe she Italian instead of Chinese. We also have done some great shopping. We have bought several traditional Chinese dresses for her in various sizes and we bought 12 pairs of squeaky shoes from Sherry's Place and even though she is not walking yet she loves shoes. Everytime we put on a new pair of shoes she will turn her foot from side to side to look at them and then she starts playing with her feet. We fall more and more in love with this baby everyday. I can't wait for everyone to meet her. Enjoy the pictures and more tomorrow. More baby and more shopping!!
