Pictures!

I’ve been catching a lot of flack for being lax with the pictures, so here you go.



This first one I took this morning after Bei-Bei had her bath. She has been pretty sick these last few days with a runny and stuffy nose, making it hard to breath while eating and sleeping. Last night was her best night since we’ve been home thanks to good ol’ American drugs and a vaporizer. She went to bed at 8 p.m., woke up briefly at 3:00 and slept through until breakfast at 5:30.



This photo was taken after our group photo at the White Swan, just before our first meeting with the U.S. Consulate. Bei-Bei had let us put her feet on the floor for the first time a couple of days before this picture but had never tried to take any steps… until this. Since we had the camera we were able to capture her “first step” to share with you here.



We took this picture on one of the famous red couches at the White Swan. You may not have heard of them, but in the Chinese adoption world the red couches are famous because nearly every family adopting from China takes a picture in them. We liked this picture so much that we had a granite etching done of it at one of the local shops.
