Today went great!

After we got Emma and did some paper work we had two hours before we had to go to the civil affairs office. She sat on lap and played with a flower we gave her. She loves flowers. She said a few words and loves to be held. She then fell asleep in ryan's arms till we got to the civil affairs office. She woke up looked around and was fine. We signed our papers. Someone asked us some questions. One was do we like her? We said yes absolutely. Really we love her to death she is so great. Funny, happy and has a million and one facial expressions. We then were off to the notary office for some more questions and then to the area flea market. Emma did great every where. We got this awesome stroller that not only is a stroller but can turn into a rocker. Its pretty cool. It also is the kind that we can look at her when we are walking. It was less then $100. We also got a baby carrier and cup and spoon set and still didn't spend over $100. We then headed off the the super market. Well I don't know where the Super came into the name for a Super Market because we don' t have any super markets like this in the US. I think it had about 4 floors with everything under the sun in it. It puts Walmart to shame. So we got some more diapers wipes and formula. The store was pretty crazy they had security rings around the formula and had to pay for it at a sperate register. They had to have people working in ever isle of the market. They had a area were you could buy live fish there was a man there fishing them out with a net after you picked which one you wanted. After shopping we came home and undressed our little as she was laying there diaper less she peed our bed. I didn't think such a tiny body could hold that much pee but the bed was soaked. So off to the bath we went. She loved it splashing and playing with her toys. We then put her on the bed and dressed her and tried to feed her again. she has eaten a little today mostly puffs and cereal. Then we turned on the IPOD and she went nuts, she loves this thing. We are playing Michael Jackson she is singing and dancing up a storm she can't enough. I don't she has stopped smiling. One things for sure she loves her daddy. She likes feeding him puffs. They are getting along great. She likes me to. She really goes to either one of us. She just is the most precious little baby ever. She has a hard time sitting up on her own and does do well on her feet. We are doing excising with her ever so often. Well I am not sure when the grieving is going to happen,but right now she is a ray of sunshine. We haven't stopped smiling or laughing. This town is pretty hectic and crazy. We saw a women selling snakes and ducks on the corner. That was a sight. Some one selling turtles. and the cars, all they do is beep, beep, beep. It never stops. The traffic is nuts!! You take your life in your hands every time you cross the street.

  2. Congratulations to all of you! She is adorable and I'm so glad your day went so well with her! It sounds like it's all gone so smoothly! Enjoy Nanchang! The Teng Wang is great - they have a neat cultural show but beware because it is very loud! Jiangxi is known for porcelain so ask your guide to take your to Porcelain Street and you can pick up great little teasets and other neat porcelain moments from Jiangxi.
