Guangzhou and Baby Kisses











Finally, we're on the 'net again. We didn't get into Guangzhou until late on Friday, and our girls didn't get to bed until almost 11 pm. Then--9am in the lobby to get Talia's Visa picture taken and head to the medical appointment. Talia's Visa picture is of her crying lustily--she did not like being away from mama! The medical appointment did not go much better. She cried at every stop. She weighs a bit over 17 pounds, but is probably putting on weight as she loves to eat--this morning was banana, brown rice cereal (from home), a bit of muffin, some yogurt and hey--how about some of mama's omelet? Breakfast is her biggest meal, as there are so many baby-friendly choices. Lydia needed some playground and running around time yesterday, so found a great playground and got lots of exercise. While going through the protocol of having our computer connection reviewed by a 1/2 dozen people, concluding with "the engineer," we all got some play time with Talia on the bed. Suddenly, she leaned over mama, and planted a big droolie kiss right on mama's mouth! Then laughed and laughed! She has given everyone kisses now, and thinks it's the funniest thing. I wish bath was as happy, alas, it is not to be. While mama gave Talia her bath last night, Lydia got to go out with Baba for a banana split to Lucy's. Talia was asleep by 7 pm, and slept until 6 am, with just a couple of brief wake ups--new hotel and crib, probably. There was a tremendous storm here yesterday afternoon, with thunder, lightening and palm trees swaying wildly. Even some hail in the night. Today looks much clearer, and there is a shopping expedition planned with our group this morning. Hopefully we'll be able to post again later, we're having to use the Business Center computer. Just wanted everyone to know things are going well in warm and balmy Guangzhou. Kisses from Talia!
