ready to go. One more city to go before we are finally home. We spent
our last day pondering why Hannah has decided that naps are no longer
necessary. She just wants nothing to do with sleeping at all - she would
much rather be up and playing with us. We're taking it as a compliment.
:) Not even a walk through Green Lake Park today put her out - there was
far too much to see, and lots of other babies to look at. (Because
everyone here bundles their kids up in many layers, we keep joking that
the other babies are looking at Hannah with insane jealousy that she
gets to only be covered in one!)
We also continue to ponder how such a little girl can eat oh so very
much. It's truly impressive. Xiulan said today that her insatiable
appetite will probably last for about three months - until she learns
that food will always be available. It's so heartbreaking to realize
that for the first nine months of her life it wasn't. Good thing that
Mommy was already buying Cheerios in bulk at Costco. Chris keeps joking
that she is going to eat us out of house and home, but that's ok. I just
can't wait to get home and feed her in her high chair. We haven't seen a
high chair anywhere in Kunming. Seriously. And since she's a messy eater
to begin with (and wants food shoveled into her mouth at a breakneck
pace), it's been tricky. The picture of her all messy is after a
container of yogurt. And that was a relatively clean snack. (oh yes, she
at an entire container of yogurt, along with a handful of Gerber puffs
and a handful of Cheerios as a SNACK) It's also fun that she likes to
wipe her mouth with her bib as she eats. :) She's also not figured out
yet how to feed herself. The picture of her looking at her hands is of
her trying her first cookie - Xiulan keeps handing us packages of the
things, and at the tea shop this morning, she finally convinced me to
hand Hannah one. None of it ended up in her mouth, but it was a great
toy while we sampled teas.
See you in Guangzhou...
