In China

Wednesday, February 27, 2013 Sorry again for the posting issues! I really thought I'd be better about this but today just wasn't a good day. Lily slept good at night so we happy for that. She had her first bath this morning...that was awful. We had to take the patch off her belly button and it hurt her poor little skin :( She cried out "mama" while I was doing it. I don't think she was crying for me, but at least we got to hear her talk! We have yet to hear anything but crying, no sounds or talking. We eased up on the eating for her this morning at breakfast. Stuck to congee and water. We applied for her Chinese passport this morning. That was super quick. No paperwork involved, just had to show our passports and take a picture. There were lots of families there. The same ones that were with us on Gotcha Day when everyone received their child. Their were 14 families all together, from the U.S., Netherlands, and Spain. She hates the bus so she cried all the way there, and while we were there, and back. The traffic here doesn't bother me too much. It's crazy but it seems to work for them. The smog is yucky though! I actually saw sunlight today but just for a minute. The weather is nice here and it was quite warm today. We decided to stay at the hotel all day. She cried all day...all.day.long. The only time she didn't is when we walked. She loves to walk and it seems to calm her. She can go for about 10 minutes then she gets tired. She just has no muscle or fat on her. We are working on building those muscles up though. We went to the pool and by that time she had fallen asleep in my carrier. She slept on me for 20 minutes or so and seemed to like the outdoors. She loves snacks so we've been giving her anything she will take. She won't grab it from your hand or anywhere else, you have to put it in her mouth. She won't touch any toys other than the two that she has to take everywhere...her egg and a teething ring. She doesn't let go of them. Tim is loving the whole process but was a little done with crying at the end. We both were. We were very patient though as this process isn't about us. She is grieving so hard and she doesn't feel well on top of it. We are loving every minute of her though. She is absolutely perfect :) We love you so much Grady, Declan, and Hayden! 7 more days!!
