Today was a very fun day! We went to an ancient district of Chongqing and went shopping. We were able to buy some traditional Chinese toys and clothes and lots of other souvenirs. After shopping we went to eat at another great Chinese restaurant! We are enjoying the food, but are missing American food at the same time. Bria is a wonderful eater. We have yet to find anything she won’t eat!! Today at the restaurant, they had all kinds of fresh creatures you could choose to order for lunch. Many of them we did not recognize, but we did recognize the scorpions!!!! They eat scorpions here!! It gave me chills just looking at them!

After naptime, we went shopping some more!! (see why I said it was a very fun day!) We went to some shops around our hotel and found several pair of cute shoes for Bria, but we could only find one pair that would fit her now—her feet are TINY!!!!! We also bought her a walker for the hotel playroom that is very similar to the one she used at the orphanage. She went wild in the walker—going everywhere!! We are starting to see why the mission group described her personality as “spicy.” She is so funny and into everything. She imitates her big brother all the time—she really likes Kaden!

Bria definitely continues to blossom! She is much more verbal today than before. She has babbled much more and says da, ba, ma, na, and ga so far. It is amazing how much the precious girl smiles. You can just look at her and she’ll give a smile. She has a beautiful personality! We are so very blessed!!!

So precious!


So fashionable!
