Friday in Guangzhou

Today was a pretty hectic day. Our flight was only 1 hour and 10 minutes, but traveling with 7 other families all with babies in a foreign country can't be properly described, only experienced. Once we were on the airplane, Lilah was very good. She hardly fussed at all even though she had to sit relatively still for the entire flight. She is a very active toddler and sitting still is not something she normally likes to do.
Guangzhou is a much more modern and international city and is significantly larger than Nanchang; the population here is around 13 million.
The hotel we are in is very nice. Erin spotted the bathtub right away and is planning on taking a long hot bath after the kids are asleep. After checking in, getting our bags, and a quick dinner we were able to relax for a bit. Quinn and Erin got ice cream cones after dinner and Lilah was loving it! She had ice cream all over her face while walking down the street.
After we got back from dinner, we gave the kids a bath. Quinn and Lilah shared the tub. Since she's lived most of her life in an orphanage that is almost exclusively girls, she's probably never seen a penis before, so over course she had to grab Quinn's.
That's all for today...Tomorrow is her medical exam and US immigrant visa photo.

  1. Is that the Chinese version of the boy in the bubble?
    Can't wait to hear about the apparatus.
