dadadada, shopping, Spicy girl and thumbs up

Well everyone, we are loving Guangzhou! Everyone told us we would and we do! We went from pbutter crackers and stale animal cookies to 7-11 and Papa Johns Pizza and Maserati shopping center! Yesterday we just got oriented to our new place at the White Swan. Claire's sleeping was still sound yet a little more restless due to the different crib. This morning we ate a delicious Western breakfast overlooking the Pearl River, we had french toast, tater tots, bacon, omelet and more! We were still hungry from our trip in Chongqing, however we did enjoy a delicious PaPa Johns large pepperoni pizza last night! The mommies are going for a mommy starbucks soon and then the new dads are going for another type of beverage ha ha! Everywhere we take Claire in the stroller she rides with her feet in the air, we still think she will be an acrobat or gymnast! She catches everyone attention young and old with her hair sticking up and blowing in the wind and her feet in the air. Yes, it is very windy and tropical here and we enjoy the more fresh air and water! When people ask us where she is from we say Chongqing and they all say oh .... she is a Spicy girl so we have nicknamed her Qi Spice! For us, that is good because we know she will love TexMex once we get back to TX. However, for now she is only eating her bottles, she gags on cherrios, fruit puffs and apple paste but is trying. The Chinese also give us the thumbs up for meaning you are a very good person, they appreciate us loving Claire and taking her to America for a good education, little do they know how much we appreciate them for giving us such a sweet child. Tomorrow we do the medical exam so we hope all goes well with that and it is not too traumatic! This morning Claire was singing daddadadadadaddaddad all morning, so cute and when Jason talks to her she just smiles and smiles. She also loves Mommy to kiss her and tickle her nose. Well, we will post pics later, just wanted you to know all is well. Love, MA, J and C
