First Smiles




Here is the first Lucy smile captured on camera. After a traumatic bath, Lucy relaxed on the floor and played with big bro, Max. She really loves him and he is a super big brother. You can tell se is getting more relaxed around us. She isn't as somber as the first day we received her.
She's a fairly good sleeper. She likes to be rocked to sleep, then sleeps in her crib the whole night. She ate a huge breakfast this morning. She ate congee, steamed eggs, and rice. She also had a piece of toast. She's already taken 3 bottles and it isn't even noon.
The above picture is a view outside our hotel window. Nanchang is a busy city and it's been raining the last day and a half. Last night we received some very heavy rains but we braved the elements, and went to a traditional Jiangxi Province restaurant last evening. It was a huge restaurant with an even bigger menu. Some of the meals we could have ordered were fish lips, goose stomach and guts, and duck stomach. There were even more entrees to choose from, but we played it safe and ordered green beans in garlic, dumplings, fried rice noodles and pork. Again, it was really yummy, but I am really looking forward to ordering a Big Wally from Penguin Point back home!

Lucy is adorable! And oh, I just love reading that you are enjoying China - the food, the country and the people. Congratulations from another lucky parent of a tiny Fu. We celebrate our two year anniversary tomorrow.

So fun to read your blog! We were just there 2 months ago picking up our Fu daughter. They were probably room mates! We'll be following along all the way! Enjoy! Glad to know Lucy is adjusting nicely! Our daughter, 1 1/2 years old, laughed when she saw your daughter's picture almost as if she knew her!

Loads of Love

Her smile lights up a room! She's so tiny and so precious. Would love to squeeze on her.

Hugs,
Shirley and Mailia (a Fu sister)
