Happy Birthday to Our Sweet Sweet Girl!!


Our beauty turned one year old today. She did it in style just like any one year old should...with cake all over the place.
We wonder everyday how in the world we managed to get out of China with this treasure. We really are the lucky ones.
We took her to Bamboo Garden (a local Chinese restaurant) last night for the first time. She loved, I mean LOVED the food. She ate like we have never seen. She is still iffy on solid food and will usually spit it out a few times before reluctantly mashing and swallowing it. She took dumplings and chicken in without a second thought and was signing "more" before swallowing what was in her mouth. It was hysterical. So, tonight I made her some noodles and she shoveled them in one after another and was signing "more" with grubby hands full of what was left on her highchair tray. That's our girl! Our one year old girl!
Happy Birthday our one and only! Good heavens do we ever love you!!

You're killing us, 10 days and no pictures!! We would love to see her walking and crawling in person. Hopefully soon.

I hope she had a wonderful birthday and I know she was glad to be there with you both. I wish we could have been there.

Thanks for keeping us posted.
