Sorry we did not post yesterday...we took it easy but we were still so tired. I haven't went to bed this early since I was in elementary school. We were all in bed and asleep by 10:00. Her bedtime is 9:00 and she sticks to it!
Here are some pictures from Tuesday night. There is a Kiddy Land playground at the hotel. She loved it.
This is adorable. Michael asked Naeleigh where something was. And he threw his hands up and said, "I don't know"--she copied him.
First ice cream! Had a little brain freeze but...
I think she likes it!!!
Wednesday morning! I finally got a bow to stay in her hair. We went to apply for her Chinese passport today.
I gave her my baby bracelet...she kept playing with it but she seemed to like it.
Naeleigh is reaching for me a lot and calling me "Mama" every now and then! Mama and Daddy are both getting kisses on the cheeks. We are working on some bonding activities with her and Michael. She just took a Cheerio from his hand and now she let him feed her one.
It is Thursday morning here, our first free day. We are headed to Shamian Island with another family to shop and do laundry.
We love you all!
I love that she copied Michael. So cute! Maybe she can teach Anders a thing or two about going to sleep and staying asleep ;). I'm so glad she is smiling so much. She is so stinkin cute. Glad y'all are getting some good rest. Hugs and kisses for all of you. We love you lots!

DeleteOh so adorable! Isn't God so good?!? He has just answered all our prayers! She is just transitioning so beautifully into her family... she is so brave!

Shamian Island is beautiful!! Jenny's was really nice. She was so sweet. Catherine is awesome!! We love her. Phoebe has been incredibly helpful too. They are always in the right place at the right time. I gave her the gifts. She remembered you guys very well. She loved the pictures and locket. I'm going to try to get a pic of her wearing it for you.
