Happy Baby!
Well today has been an AMAZING day so far. It's 1:30p.m. Kennedy awoke this morning just after I finished writing the last post...about 4 a.m. She just laid there looking at Marvin for the longest time. We layed all three of us in the bed and she seemed very content. Then, at 5 a.m. we decided we'd awake and get ready to start our day (we had a busy schedule of meetings). Well, as soon as we propped her up, she was laughing and smiling and has done nothing but for the day so far. She had an entire bottle of formula (Chinese style!! I made it and she liked it...yay!)She ate some rice cereal and some cheerios and mum mums. So no more troubles on the food front. We figure she was beyond exhausted last night and that, along with her new parents, made for a tricky evening...
As with all new parents, we are head over heals in love. More than one person here in China and on the blog have commented that she looks like me...I like to think so!!
Today, we officially adopted Kennedy. When they asked us if we "liked her" ofcourse we replied yes. Funny.
We went to Walmart...interesting. Very busy. No one speaks English :)
Here are a couple of videos from this a.m. Couldn't resist...

I am so happy for you guys...and yes, it is 2:30 am here and I just finished getting Mei Lin back to sleep...just thought I'd check in...couldn't watch the videos though, scared to wake her back up!!
