UPDATE!!!!

The last 2 days have been amazing. Emily is now smiling ALOT and giving some wide mouthed kisses to her mama. She is still warming up to dada's mustache but they play together ALL the time. He has started rubbing his face against hers and she cries out but there are no tears. We think this is improvement. She is still walking like a drunken sailor (sorry Tad and Jesse) but her hand eye coordination is 200% better. She eats ALL the time, just like her big sissy, Hannah. Watch out Pete-this girl loves french toast!!! The other thing she really loves is to walk. She walks and walks until her little legs can go no further. Yesterday she actually fell asleep walking on in the park and we needed to carry her back to the hotel. She also has not napped. She goes and goes until she just drops-also sounds like her big sissy, Hannah. Last night she had an old fashioned temper tantrum as she just did not want to stop and go to bed. Once asleep she slept for 12.5 hours. Naps are hard to come by as she just does not want to miss anything. We went to a chinese noodle restaurant today and we were a little nervous as our guide, Helen ordered for us, but it was excellent!!! The only thing on the table that we did not like was the tea they served us as it was made from corn and Rusti thought it actually tasted like vegetable oil. But we really like the noodles with vegetables, BBQ eggplant, dumplings, fried cakes, and "beef" which reminded Rusti of the mongolian beef dish her and Hannah have at the local chinese restaurant. Rusti asked it there was any "American" Chinese restaurants where you could get chop suey and she just smiled and answered "Lucy's". Lucy's is one of the restaurants here that is like a 50's style restaurant (cheeseburgers and fries). Emily loves Lucy's as she has chicken congee and she eats the whole bowl of it (which is a lot for a baby). The rest of the group flies in tonight so we will have more people to socialize with and play in the play room with. Until tomorrow............
