red couch photo today

at 11:30- nap time, so that should be fun filled
230 - i think we are going to the pearl market-taxi ride away

it's 100 am and lucy cried, i picked her up and now she is asleep - hopefully for the night, she is very restless tonight- i think we fed her too much. she does not have a FULL instinct yet and we want to feed her so we need to get better at stopping. after we get done her belly looks like one of those pics for ethiopian babies all puffed out, hopefully there is nothing more than food in there because she drools a lot and a fare share has made it's way to my mouth.

i wish i could post a really funny picture but i can not find it on the computer. the timing may actually be a good thing because many of you are eating lunch and i did not want to spoil your appetite. but it is funny. and gross.

getting sleepy again,
good night

I'm so happy I keep checking for new blogs today. It has finally paid off more than once.:)

Bulging, full tummy, huh? that means a bulging full diaper or potty chair, you know?! You'll figure out to feed her just the amount you're willing to clean up after in the long run! Rest up, you have some serious traveling coming up. Later taters,

You can already see the change in Lucy, she is bigger than the pics just from a couple days ago. I noticed she has a sinister squint, and a bright eyed hello. I cant wait till the end of the week! Luv ya.

I have an idea what that picture is!;~) Does she really take 2 naps a day? I guess she would have to if she wakes up at 6:30 every morning! Remember when I told you to savor your last days of sleeping in...I hope you did!:)

I cant believe we get two blogs n a row, i'm thrilled. I wish you weighed Lucy as soon as you got her and when you get home again. I guess a pound or two. you keep over filling her, she needs it....just joking.you guys will figure out her food limit together in due time. miss you guys a lot...see you SOON. cathy

John and Tonya,
You have a beautiful daughter. Thanks for your generosity in sharing the details of your journey. It is helping Brian and I while we wait. It is absolutely amazing to see the transformation in Lucy over the course of the last few days. Congratulations! Megan Lockwood (I met you at yahoo groups for CCAI and Luoyang:)

Hey sis and John...hi Lucy this is uncle Stevie, please don't cry when you see me! She looks cute! We can't wait to see you at home. Can you teach her "Arrrrright" before she gets off the plane..you will have hours to work with her on it!... ;-) just joking...may you sleep at least half the way home!
