Sorry I'm a little tardy with the updates, but we'll try and keep them coming daily. Right now we are waiting for Lucy's passport and visa and our consulate appointment. Lucy's personality is really coming out, she is an amazing little girl. She loves to make you laugh. She is starting to learn some English words and is already calling us mama and baba, the Chinese way of saying mommy and daddy.

She loves to sing along with us. When I sing Ittsy Bittsy Spider to her she does the hand gestures and sings along with me, it's so cute. And when James and I sing Silent Night to her to go to bed she now sings it with us.

Guangzhou is an amazing place. Very old English colonial villiage with sweet people. Beautiful old architecture with the old canopy trees that offer shade everywhere. We've been going out with our friends shopping and out to dinner almost every night. Our favorite place to eat is called Lucy's. Today has been our best day yet with Lucy, she is interacting really well with other kids, was very gentle with a baby offering her toys. She took her first nap, sleeps through the night and we're getting into a routine with her.

She loves to say goodbye and blow kisses and gives the high-five, everyone gets a big kick out of it.

We're all doing great, can't wait for everyone to meet her back home. Check out the new pics on the gallery.

Love ya all!
