Getting a kiss from her friend Emma Powell. They used to sleep next to each other at the orphanage. Emma is actually younger than Rosie, but quite a bit bigger. In fact, Emma has been so generous and given us a few items of clothing that she could no longer use. Quite a blessing for us since everything is too big for Rosie. She is wearing a shirt here that my sister-in-law gave me. It is 18 mos and fits great. However, the pants that go with it are huge. In fact she can fit quite well into 9 mos pants.
Here we are waiting our turn at the Chinese Traveller's Medicine Clinic. This is where all the babies have to go to get cleared healthwise for their visas. It was traumatic for most of the babies. First, they get their tempuratures taken, get weighed and have their height checked. Then, they get looked at by the ENT. Rosie did not like the tongue depressor at all. Then they have an "outer genitilia" check. Rosie passed everything. She weighs 18.5 lbs and is 31 inches tall. The folks on the right in the picture are the Cummings. Their daughter is also a small 2 1/2 yrs old. Standing in the middle of us is our guide and expeditor extroidinaire; JoJo. She is awesome and has made this trip a breeze.
Here is Rosie doing "Itsy Bitsy Spider". We can't believe how quickly she learned it.
This is "Patty Cake" and she's doing it all on her own. We got a little video of her doing itsy bitsy spider and she sings while she does it. It is SO Cute.
This is in the Swan Room at the White Swan Hotel. Mattel sponsers this big play room and it is well stocked with toys. Rosie really loved it and the boys enjoyed getting to have a little room to play with her.
