We went to the zoo today. It was very small, but fun. They had alot of birds, a leopard, a tigar, and a jaguar. They also just got a Panda. I didn't like the condition of how the animals are kept. They are all in cages, not like at home where they have a nice habitat.
We also went to a porcelin store. Nanchang is known for their porcelin. I have to admit, Aunt Marianne and I are shopping way too much. But it is all very cheap. Stuff we are buying we would be paying triple in the US.
We got the silk clothes we ordered. Love them. I bought Katy two dresses. One is for her birthday, and maybe Christmas. The other is for Chinese New Year, and maybe her Christening. Wait until you see them. They are pure silk, and are traditional Chinese dresses.
We leave for Guangzhou tomorrow. I am kind of sad. This is Katy's birthplace, and this may be the last time she is here. I hope we can come back again. At least I can tell her that she came from a beautiful place, with wonderful people.
Tomorrow starts a new chapter in her life. Her first plane ride, a new city, and one step closer to home.
I am trying to save as much as I can for souveniers. Brochures, bags from Walmart, anything. I want to keep a time capsule that she will be able to open someday and see where she came from.
She is doing very well, except she is getting a cold. She has been sneezing, and coughing all day. I gave her some cold medicine, so we will see how that goes.
She is also still not taking anything but formula. We even tried to sneak some rice cereal into her formula, but she caught and would not drink it until we made her a new one. About the only thing she eats that is solid, is the biscuits she can knaw on. She is peeing and pooping up a storm (SOUNDS LIKE HER DAD!), so we are not too concerned. She also won't take any water or apple juice. I am going to try warm water tomorrow. She likes her formula warm, so i am going to try it with her water.

I love that last picture. What was she buttering you up for and if she wasn't then you better watch out.
What a cute cute smile.
Gosh, she is incredibly beautiful in a deep, raw, and touching way.
She could be a gerber baby. I don't mean that in a cliche, tacky kind of way either.
Hi Brigit, Don't stress about the food and drink. As long as she's Peeing and pooing BRAVO! Bet you never thought some one would cheer you for that huh?! Kylie would have NOTHING to do with anykind of juice either. Just keep trying when you eat to give her stuff (fruit and breads etc..) but all the change is hard enough. So if she's happy (and moving along from inside LOL) add more stuff when you get home. She is a cutie pie! Enjoy the rest of your trip! Susan another momma to a GUIXI sweetie pie!
