She's getting more comfortable by the hour...





Well...we made some strides today. She is still Daddy's girl but she let me hold her hand while Daddy held the other and we walked down the hall. That is huge! She still won't let me hold her but she will play with me and continues to let me feed her. I know she will fully attach to me soon...we are just thankful that she is attaching well to Ken at the very least....she LOVES her Daddy. We got lots of giggles and laughs today...Mommy even got the odd smile. It's hard because it's 97 degrees outside and too hot to go out and play so we are stuck in the hotel. Everyone is a little couped up. We did walk to Walmart this evening to get supplies and we managed to get her to go in the stroller for most of the walk...she loved it!

Tomorrow we are attempting a tour of the city...to a mountain village and then to the Nanning museum...wish us luck! Logan is doing amazing developmental things today...she claps when she is happy and is learning to high five. She can also wave bye bye and oh...the most important thing of all today...much to our relief (and hers) she had TWO bowel movements today. That is a good sign. It means she is relaxed enough to let herself go. So we feel much better about her health. She is eating really well...and lots of things now...noodles, veggies and egg today! As well are her rice staple, fruit and her bottles.

We are falling in love more and more each day...she is so easy to love...and so beautiful to look at. Daddy melts when she smiles at him...

We both miss our Parker Bear so much and can't wait to get home to him...I can't wait to him to meet his Mei Mei...

Much love to everyone...

She is so cute!!!! everyday she looks more relaxed everyday. I know that one day soon she will just go to your arms and give you a big hug. You have more love and attention to give her than she has ever had, so as soon as she realizes that she will be yours forever. Have fun with her today.

What a wonderful journey this is on so many different levels! Especially watching Logan's little miracles, like walking, unfolding before your eyes. It reminds me of the Sarah Maclachlan song "Ordinary Miracle"...catching a glimpse of her first smile and having your heart melt!

All our love,
