This am, another rested night since little one slept all night. She loves rolling all over the bed at night. If you're not careful, she will turn over and hit you. it's so funny. She looks so at peace when she is sleeping. She won't let me put her down when she is napping, she screams! also, when she wakes up from napping, she jumps and is terrified. We feel so bad for her, it's like she has nightmares. In the morning though, she wakes up so sweet. She loves to play airplane, and she loves to put her head back and turn really fast. Not so good for my dizziness, but she just loves it. We went to breakfast downstairs this morning and she sat in the highchair, with no complaints. As long as she gets a spoon, she is settled. Of course, now she thinks it's funny to drop the spoon, watch one of us get it, and drop it again. This goes on and on and she just laughs.
We went to the zoo today. That was fun. We saw a few more american families with their babies. One of the exhibits at the zoo, has dogs. Ecko teases us and says "yum, yum". There was lots of monkeys also. I think that was like half of the zoo.
Well, tomorrow, is the medical exam. I'm sure that is not going to go over very well. Enjoy the pictures. Morgan is so photogenic. Some of the pictures I got today, I'm going to have to blow up,they are gorgeous!

We went to the Guanghzou zoo today
We made it to Guanghzou
Well, we made it to Guanghzou. Morgan slept all night last night again. It's great! Morgan was so good on the flight. She is now trying to eat by herself. She loves cheerios! She will put a piece in her hand, play with it for a while, and then plop it in her mouth. She is so smart, it's incredible. I had a chinese couple come up to me in the airport, they are from California and we talked a little about Morgan. Then, they asked me how much it costs for her. I was just shocked. I'm sure the look on my face, was very ugly. Then, she said, is it more than 5 us dollars? I said, oh yeah. She said, really? I thought it would be free. amazing. I do want to say just a few things about the chinese, that I wish americans would learn. First thing, in the airports, those carts for all your luggage, are free! Ever heard of that in our airports? Second, there is no road rage, it's awesome. People pull in front of people, go slow, etc and no one gets mad, it is so great. The streets are total chaos, but no one is upset about it. I just love that. Lastly, the older chinese are so friendly. They will go out of there way, just to smile and say hello. I still can't get over the stares though. I have to say, that is the hardest part. You know usually when someone is staring at you, once you look, they turn there head? Not here, they just keep staring. Of course, with Morgan, they talk to each other and point to their lip. It's very discouraging.
Ok, well the holiday Inn here is awesome. We got a business suite, so the internet is free. We get fresh fruit everyday, soda throughout the day and cocktails from 5:30 - 7:30 everyday. The room is beautiful. There is a huge bathroom, two double beds and a reading area. I'll have to post some pictures, maybe tomorrow, I'm not feeling very well today. I'm really dizzy, I'm sure it's sinuses. Until tomorrow. Love everyone.

Last day in Nanning
Well, this morning, little one slept til 7:30am. She slept on the bed instead of the crib. Much better. She isn't feeling very well so I gave her some tylenol. That seemed to make her sleep some more and she wasn't burning up, like she was. Still having trouble with the bowels. Tried some prunes today, so we will see. Watch it catch up once we get on that 12 hour flight right? This morning, she also walked for the first time. She actually let me put her down without crying and she walked with me. it was great. Renee got it on video and took pictures. She loves to clap her hands. She is so smart. Whatever, Renee and I do, she will repeat. She loves kisses on the face too. She will laugh after bunches of kisses. This will be the last post until we get to Guanghzou tomorrow. Our flight is at noon and last about 1 hour. All the other families are staying at the White Swan, so we will be the only family staying at the Holiday Inn. We have to walk down to the White Swan and do the famous "red couch picture" though so hopefully, we will see the other families again. We have enjoyed talking with everyone. There are a lot of french canadian's here also. Well, will write more tomorrow. Miss everyone!
went to the Mountain today
Last night we didn't get much sleep. Little one was really uncomfortable most of the night and just couldn't settle down. We both felt so bad for her. We got her some fruit at breakfast and juice so we are hoping that will help her. We went to the mountain today and saw a buddhist temple and a huge pagoda at the top of the mountain. It was so cool. Morgan does so well in the car. She loves exploring. On the way back, we stopped at Mcdonald's and brought lunch back to the hotel. It's funny, instead of apple pies, they have yam pies, among some of other interesting pies, which I won't mention. Morgan's new thing is to put her finger in my mouth, I then act like I'm biting it and she imitates me. it's so funny. She was smiling a lot today. she loves the outdoors. She will do just fine in Florida huh? Tomorrow, we are just going to hang out at the hotel and pack things up to get ready to go to Guanghzou. We are ready for a new environment. miss everyone. Love you all.
