Are those mini marshmallows?
I see a lot of balls in her future...
If the picture below wasn't also included I'd say this was the cutest picture ever of Mama and Audrie.
Baba and Audrie are the CUTEST EVER.Audrie slept great again last night. We got a crib delivered to the room, but NO we have not used it. She sleeps great right between us on the bed.
This morning at breakfast, she tried lots of new foods, and even began feeding herself. Jerry helped initiate it and she really did pretty well. The caretaker said she could not feed herself, but given the opportunity she is.
Next, we walked around and looked at the fish, the birds, and she grabbed daddy's hand and led us on a walk. She loves when she has each of our hands and we do a swing with her. Got some more giggles from that.
Then, we went to the White Swan room, and played with Journey for awhile. He is a sweetie. Then, we went on another walk, ate lunch (crazy story....)
She led us into a restaurant, and so we just went. There was a menu, so I just kept asking questions, and they brought another menu. I picked a chicken casserole thing, -- ugh it was like the knuckles of a chicken... very grissely. The veggies were good in it. Jerry ordered a fish piece.... and that is what it was - a small cut of fish. Very expensive.
Oh well. You can't win it all. But, then a lady came up and picked up Audrie. She just kept looking around like what is going on. I said she is very shy and took her away. It is amazing how fast Mommy claws develop. :-)
Well, the kids are down for a nap again, so I thought I would send an update. Enjoy the pictures.
Good for you, Amie, for taking Audrie back! It's so confusing for them.....don't be afraid to be pushy and say "no" to someone who tries to do that again! If you are looking for some good food, there is an Italian restaurant there on the island that is good - can't remember the name though - and it's probably expensive but worth it. Of course we enjoyed Lucy's too.... We stayed at the China Hotel in Guangzhou and they have an evening buffet - quite expensive, $100 for you two together - but the food is WONDERFUL. Might be a nice treat if you can swing it. And Starbucks has great sandwiches and they are cheap. Audrie looks as if she is attaching wonderfully - SO happy for that! I showed Cali today and she was terribly excited to get to meet her. I bet that we will be on the computer daily until you come home. How is her special need? What are you thinking there? Happy that all is well........ Liesl
ReplyDeleteMommy claws.....one of the privileges of being a mommy!!!
ReplyDeleteGREAT picture of Audrie & her daddy!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't use the crib - you three have waited to cuddle long enough!
That is exciting about her feeding herself!
So what have you found that she doesn't like to eat or play with?
It is so exciting to see your family come together with precious Audrie! You will truly be a blessing to each other. Keep those "mommy claws" ready! Love you all. Mom # 2
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you little sister! The pictures are all so beautiful! We will continue to pray for the 3 of you and this amazing journey God has set before you!
ReplyDeleteOnce Mommy claws come out, they never go away. What a cutie. I like the part about her having a strong personality:) She will need it to keep up with you two.
ReplyDelete...Forgot to tell you that the Chinese have a favorite part of the chicken -- wings, but they are like the knuckles you described above, not very tasty. Fish, Pork, and beef were tastier for us. Have you had eel soup yet? It's like eating rubber band soup.
So happy for you, Amie! Audrie is so precious!! Isn't it such a great feeling to immediately feel the connection of a family?!?! Audrie is meant to be with you and Jerry!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! We did not have eel soup, but it sounds delicious. I love rubber bands! So far, I really have not had to get the mommy claws back out!
