Feeding Time and Play Time

I can't believe the way this one eats. She puts more food away than I do. So far she hasn't turned anything away except watered down orange juice.

Leila has developed an ear infection so we have her on antibiotics. She's been a wee bit cranky the last 2 days so we had the dr. check her out before our flight tomorrow. Our doctor is fabulous!

We fly out to Guangzhou late tomorrow afternoon (Friday for us). First stop, Danny's Bagels for a chicken parmesian sub. It's been Chinese, Chinese, Chinese, pizza, McDonalds, more Chinese food. Breakfasts are great - just like home and then some. Tommy is the brave one. He has tried almost everything: snail, snake, crab, periwinkles, no matter how spicy. But we keep a fire extinguisher close by just in case. He's getting the hang of the spicy food. Keryn, Olivia and I are playing it safe. Lots of PB&J's. Packing pb and jelly is the way to go. I do LOVE the dumplings - good call Barb. I miss napkins and ice. Napkins are hard to come by believe it or not.

I am completely in love with Leila. I don't know how it happens so fast, but it has. She is cuddly and happy and her smile makes me melt. She definitely gets the funniest hair award for the group. She looks like an 80's rock star - a little Rod Stewart. She is definitely a Hunan girl - her spicy side shows when you don't shovel the food in fast enough. She sleeps thru the night - slept until 7am this morning.
