Getting to Know Julie

Julie is eating congee!!! Yeah!
Hi! It's our last day in Chongqing. We will be leaving for Guangzhou in about 4 hours. We have had a great time here in Chongqing and it will be sad to leave our daughter's first "hometown". Julie has been doing great. She is active, curious, and alert. I don't need to mention ADORABLE. As previously mentioned she can crawl, but I don't know if we mentioned that she can also pull herself up and cruise along furniture. It's really odd looking at such a small baby (can wear 3-6 month clothes) moving like that!! She still wakes up about 3 times a night (teething?). She has started to eat solids (thank you makers of Cheerios) and is learning games like "peek-a-boo". Her favorite activity is moving and looking at people move, her favorite toy is the remote control, and she is good at screaming when she doesn't get her way-- a trait that must have served her well at the orphanage. The squeeky wheel gets the oil, right?

Yesterday we explored Old Town Chongqing which was really cool. We bought a bunch of souvenirs there. A shop was selling framed paintings for $1.50 each. We splurged and bought 3. OK, but now I wish I had bought more. Next time.... Last night we also saw about 500 people dancing in front of the People's Hall. All of them were dancing in a line-dancing type manner. Very entertaining.
