Happy Baby

Yesterday we went to another government agency where Teri and Josh had two interviews and at the end of the interviews the official told them that now Maddie is their child. This afternoon they went to the agency where they applied for the baby's passport. They also have to get the baby's visa to go to the American Consulate to become an American citizen. So many legalities but so very worth every minute.

Maddie knows who her Daddy and Mama are. She is cooing, laughing, eating ok (bottle milk). Teri tried to feed her some cereal but she didn't like that too much. She is most definitely a happy child. She is also the prettiest of all the babies and that is not just a proud grandmother speaking. She truly is the pretties. Her Chinese name is Zi Juan which means Zi=purple and Juan=the pretty girl. So her name fits.

Tonight we go on a dinner cruise on the Pearl River. I'm ready for a relaxing dinner. We have been looking for places to eat that are not Chinese. We have found a Mexican and Italian Restaurants that we have been told are pretty good. The old faithfuls like McDonald's and KFC have different tasting foods than we are used to in the States. So far the best food we have had was from a place called Danny's Bagel. We ordered Chicken Parmesan over spaghetti the other night and it was delicious. I guess tonight will be Chinese but tomorrow I think we will try the Mexican.

Still having loads of fun, enjoying the kids and their baby. I have been adopted by another couple and their baby's Memama (they are from New York). The newest pictures I have are of the baby laughing at her Mama blowing bubbles.

More to follow.
