Gotcha

Sorry it's taken so long to post again; I've been unable to log on then it took forever to download pix. Cassidy is perfect!! She's just a little peanut, about the size of a six month old (and I expected a chubby baby!) She coos and sings, kicks her feet a lot and loves music. Emily better start practicing. No teeth and close to no hair (just a little stubble). She has the funniest toothless smile and "gnaws" on her gums like a toothless old person.

She wiggles all the time making baths very difficult. She woke up only once during the night, and I think she just got scared not knowing where she was. When her tummy is full, she'll sing and coo for an hour then suck on her fingers and drift off to sleep.

What a great orphanage--I got the clothes she was wearing the day she was found in addition to a "memory book" which includes a picture of her on the day she was found, wearing those clothes. There was one other family from another agency and our three. The babies were presented very formally, but first they had to see our passport to ensure I was the mommy.

Today we have the day off. Tomorrow we're touring a mueseum and not sure where we go Thursday. We leave for Guangzhou late Friday @ 8:30 pm and will be there until 3/12. There was a thunderstorm this morning, and it's still raining. Pat's knee is bothering her and I'm happy staying in and playing with Cassidy.

Emily, I can't wait to hear you sing to Cassidy. She loves all songs, even made up ones!! I love you sooooooooooooo much and send lotsa kisses.

I'll post in a day or so or whenever I can get on again!
