The orphanage director came to the hotel this morning to give us lots more info on the babies....Veronica (our guide) is working on the translation now....not sure yet what all is
included....I think more info about how she was found, her daily routine, etc.
She weights about 16 lbs now....has about 8 teeth and LOVES to eat. I think
she'd eat as long as we put food in front of her. She wouldn't take a bottle
last night but snacked on cheerios and drank water. This morning she drank a
full bottle of formula around 7:30, then around 9:30 had some eggs, noodles &
rice cake (never had seen this before), then at 11:30 had another little
snack.
She went to sleep last night at 8:30...woke up around 4:30 but we didn't pick
her up out of the crib...then she went back to sleep until 7:00. She's
exhausted from all the activity yesterday...us too. She slept about 20 minutes
when we were in the conf room with the orphanage director (pic attached) and is
taking a good nap now (1:00 pm).
She's a little congested....gave her some cough/congestion medicine this morning. She's otherwise very healthy.....and pooping right on schedule. We both almost hurled earlier changing her....she stunk up the whole room....holy cow!!! Steve was a real trooper! :-)
She loves all the toys we brought...stacking cups, rattle toy, little duck that
quacks...and really loves the little books. She's sleeping with a book
clutched in her hand now!
She's really starting to attach to us....never cries when we hold her....always
cries when we put her down! We tried to put her in a highchair at breakfast
and she wanted no part of that....screamed her head off like we were torturing
her...but stopped IMMEDIATELY when I picked her up. It's so funny....she
definitely has a little on/off switch....and knows how to get her way!
Attached are a few pics.... Steve practicing his diaper technique on a balloon
before we left Beijing, both of us on the plane flying to Nanchang to meet
Livie, the orphanage director and our guide (Veronica), 2 nannies who came
today from the orphanage...they're playing with Livie (you can tell they love
her!), Livie sleeping on daddy's shoulder & Livie
playing in mommy's lap (we were listening to a Baby Einstein CD...Lullaby
Classics).
