Wednesday morning here in China

Thanks so much for all the suggestions regarding the bottle. She finally drank 5 oz at around 3:00 a.m. She sucked it back. I tried a different nipple. I forgot that I had brought two types. Another mother here suggested that. Her little girl is from the same orphanage as Mary Anne. But now this morning she won't even look at it. :) She is also struggling with a bit of a cold and hasn't yet had a BM! All the parents are talking about their daughters and their BM. Only one has had one so far out of 7 babies. tee hee There were high fives all around for that sweet little Iris. I think we will be passing the prune juice around later today.

I have also failed to mention the most amazing thing...Mary Anne is potty trained. If you stick her on the potty (the hotel provides a cute little horse type one) and whistle she will pee. Amazing! So we have tried a few times to see if she will poo but no luck. The orphanage puts the babies on the potty at a very young age. It is a bit easier due to the split pants.

She was a little fuzzy through the night. But I have to say I did not mind at all as it is nice to be needed and it feels good to be able to settle her.

We will take the camera to dinner so we can get some shots of her in the high chair. She is hilarious. She is so VOCAL! she gets everyone's attention. She hits the tray, laughs, giggles and jumps up and down. Boy can she take back the Congee!

Here is the view from our hotel room. We over look a track and everyday people are out practising for a parade. October 1st is China's National Day.




Today we go to the Temple. It will be nice to get out and see some of the city of Nanchang.

Here is another cute video of our happy little baby. We are learning all her little habits. While in bed she wraps her hands around her duvet and pulls it up to her face.




Well I better go shower while Mary Anne is still sleeping.

Thanks again for all the comments! Boy do we enjoy reading them. We feel closer to home!
