Day 4 in China

Today has been a lovely day. Lily slept great last night. We are all feeling a lot more rested. After breakfast Jessica (our guide) took us out for a few hours to have a little look at some of the city. We went to a park by the water. It was great to see and learn more about where lily came from. Although we are six hours from the town lily lived in, this is the capital of her province, Gansu.

I have been carrying Lily in the baby carry (the kangaroo pouch Andrea :) ), which once we get her in she falls asleep as does really well - plus it provides great bonding time for momma. Today we have discovered Lily likes to be tiggled - each day we learn more about our daughter :). She has been so much more relaxed today, she hasn't cried when we picked her up and when she was upset she was actually comforted by us holding her. These things may seem so simple but they are huge to us.

We went out to a restaurant for lunch by ourselves - it had pictures of the food so we didn't end up with anything to strange. Mia ordered spaghetti and it came with a fried egg on the side!!! Mia was very proud of herself because she ate all her rice with chop sticks :).

You can tell after a few hours of being out Lily is warn out, so back to the hotel to hang out for the afternoon. Chris's project - working out how to post some video -hope you enjoy a glimpse of Lily.
