Just a little info on Lily Rose

I have some time this morning to post about Lily Rose. She just went down for a nap because she got up a few times last night.

She has a great personality. She is very, very loving and will put her arms up to either one of us when she wants to be held, which is most of the time. :) I have no problem holding her all day and night. She is so petite. She has about 8 teeth and when she smiles her little face scrunchs up. So cute. She is a little unsteady on her feet yet, but she walks pretty good. After her bath yesterday I brushed her hair and then this morning she walked over to the brush and started to brush her own hair. She is super alert and loves to look at everything.

She loves warm water and very warm formula. The cheerio's are a huge hit and she eats anything we put on her plate. She has a great appetite. This morning she had French Toast and loved it. Everytime she put a piece in her mouth she would laugh and smile. She watched cartoons this morning and just sat here and laughed. She is starting to reach for my hand to hold now when she sits with me. She loves to look at us and gives us that cute little face when we smile at her. You know that shy look when they put their chins on the shoulder? Well that's what we have been getting all morning.

I will post more as it happens. I am so very happy that we finally have her and I can't imagine my life without her. I will take more pictures today when we go out sightseeing.

Changsha is beautiful and the people are super friendly and we are having a great time here.

Hi Joseph, I hope you are feeling better. I was very sad to hear that you are not feeling well and that I am not there to help you get better. But I know Grandma is doing a great job. Your sister has a little cold also. Not anything major, but I feel bad she is not feeling well either.


Talk more later.

Well, thanks for the good cry... CONGRATS to you all!!! This is an unbelievable journey and being able to read and see pictures makes it even more beautiful and amazing! She is so lucky to have you two for parents...you have displayed unconditional love for her, and to that she will be thankful for you both when she gets older and can understand. I love the pics... she is beautiful and sounds like she has a great personality! Bless you all. As soon and you get settled and things calm down I want to come see her. Have a nice rest of your journey. I look forward to reading more!

Hi Lisa!

Congrats! Lily Rose is so beautiful and you guys look great togehter, you were meant to be. She is a very fortunate child to have you guys as her parents. You are equally fortunate to have such a bundle of joy to hold. You must be having an incredible time and we are so happy for you. Even Joe has been glued to your site and he hates looking through websites; he thinks you are hysterical.We have been trying to post unsuccessfully, I hope this one goes through, if not I will write you on your other email. Hope you continue to enjoy your time there, can't wait 'till you come home and can't wait to finally meet Lily. Talk to you soon, Bruny
