It's official!

As of yesterday it is official - she is legally ours as far as the Chinese government is concerned! We still have the American Consulate appt, which requires way more hoops than the Chinese government, but I am not worried. We've got everything we need.

She slept beautifully again last night. Very solid for about 9 hours. She woke up pretty cranky. She is teething and hasn't had a bowl movement since we've had her. I am really pushing apple juice today to see if we can get that moving. I did give her Gripe water this morning (Thank Kerstin!) about 5 minutes later - happy baby!

Piper had a great moment with her after breakfast. She was holding and rocking her and she fell asleep. Piper was so proud of herself. She said "I've never put a baby to sleep before!"

Food has been tough here - pretty weird things. Frozen Alligator heads and freeze dried pig faces at Walmart! (And you wanted to eat here Dr. Walker!) We enjoyed McDonalds for lunch and Papa Johns for dinner last night - boy would I love a cold glass of skim milk right now. They only have whole powdered milk here.

Today we are going to a museum. It's supposed to be pretty cool. I'll let you know.

By for now - home in 9 days! Whoo hooo - daddy - bring skim milk to the airport please!!!!!!

FYI - I can get and respond to emails. I just can't access the blog. Certain things are blocked in China - Blogspot and facebook are 2 of them.

Love you!
