2nd Luci visit!

We got our 2nd visit with Luci today. She was a little bit leary of us this second go around...probably wondering why these strange people keep showing up to play. She would stare at us and play around us but not necessarily with us! Just look at that adorably beautiful face...

We received all our flight supplies and info...bottles, formula, diapers, etc...

The pre-flight update gave us information on what she is eating and how often. It also let us know what types of developmental things she is doing. She is crawling and taking assisted steps. (My guess is walking isn't too far off!) She is also "easily entertained when she is being held". We found out that she loves to be called by her nickname..."Yi-ppeun-yi" which translates 'pretty'. Every person we meet in the halls when we have Luci has been saying that phrase and now we know what it means. Start practicing everyone! It will get you a smile!

Best news of all...we get an extra visit with Luci tomorrow! We can't wait!!!

So what did we do with the other hours of our day??? Well, this morning we went to rock babies in the nursery here at Eastern. There are over 50 babies here under 2 months old. We learned that there is a shortage of foster mothers so babies are having to stay in the nursery longer. This is where Luci spent the first month of her life. We have no doubt that some family out there rocked her and we couldn't wait to go love on someone else's future son and daughter! I know we will be back a couple more times before we leave.

After our visit, we decided to go search out a toy market we had been told about...we found it and boy was it CRAZY!!! We thought of how nuts Dylan and Grace would have been if you turned them loose down this street! Talk about sensory overload! The picture below doesn't even begin to show the extent to this hysteria! We were definetely an oddity around there. When shopkeepers would ask which province we lived in, we always got the same response..."same as Bill Clinton???" Yes, he is popular over here!

Our final adventure of the day was when Jason decided to try some street vendor food and sucked me in too. I was hungry and it looked like chicken so I went for it. It was tasty!!! So then we got some more vendor food in the subway...this time it was a hot waffle concoction with butter and honey smeared on it. This was DELICIOUS!!!

Well, enough for tonight. Enjoy the pics! We hope to have some more of Luci tomorrow!
