Today is one week since Mia walked into our lives ~ it feels like we've known her so much longer and yet we still have so much to learn about each other.
We had our usual buffet breakfast here at the White Swan - our favorites are the french toast and banana bread. Mia still enjoys, you guessed it, congee! I have been trying different foods and sometimes she'll try them and other times all she wants is the Cheerios or congee. She has been drinking out of the water bottle cap (not an easy way to give a drink, but for now that's what I have to do).
We walked around and shopped some more - we are tired of the store owners coaxing us in and asking the same questions over and over , "how old is she?", "where is she from?", "where are you from?", blah, blah, blah!
Good morning!
Mia is so tiny, I had to change this outfit for another!
Am I ready now?
Mia goes next door to call for Lia ~ let's shop!
Daddy and Mia take a walk
After lunch at Lucy's with Lia and family, we headed
upstairs to change for the red couch photos!
Mia and Lia are ready for the photo shoot!
I feel pretty!
Guangxi girls: Lia, Mia & Abbey
Too many pictures where taken & not a good one
to speak of - it's a lot harder than people make it look!!!
Mia is always on the go
I can't stand still!
Lia & Mia by the waterfall
Mia is sitting pretty!
Back at the room ,Mia finds her baby!
We're done now, Mom ~ can we play?
Tonight we go to a Thai Restaurant, the Cow & Bridge - we've heard so much about it and look forward to another yummy dinner. (The food is sooooo much better than I thought and I am eating about 90% of it and enjoying it - all us Guangxi families feel that the food in Nanning was better so far)
*Kisses to my boys - we are coming home so soon - can't wait guys!!!
