Ms Gabi got her physical today and is beginning to move herself around

Today we went with the group and our guide Connie to get the children's physical exam. It was pretty chaotic and crowded. So many children being adopted. Gabi was probably the youngest there. She did really well. We had to go to three different stations. Then we came to the hotel to organize paperwork for the Consulate Appointment on September 4, which is the only official appointment left still. Tomorrow we will be visiting the Safari Park, and then next day we will go shopping and visit Shamian Island. Gabi is doing really good. Sebastian is behaving better, with some outbursts. However, he loves his sister to pieces. He is also eating much better since we arrived at Guangzhou. It is a wonderful city so far, pretty modern but with a wonderful feeling to it.
Gabi is already beginning to move by herself in the ground quite a bit . The changes are outstanding. This girl is so resilient and wonderful.
Today I also went to the supermarket, and among other things I got Gabi teething biscuits. Let me just say OMG, this little girl was so excited. As you can see from at least 3 of the pictures, she really got into it. By the time she finally dropped the thing, there was biscuit everywhere, and I mean that literally. But she loved it. Her brother laughed quite a bit from seeing Gabi so dirty. By the way, a lot of people everywhere always stop us about both Gabi and Sebastian, who is quite the chick magnet let me tell you. Sebastian is really loving the food in Guangzhou, which is wonderful for momma, who was kind of getting scared about the fact that he was only eating white rice. Well, that is over, thank God.
The Garden Hotel is probably the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed at. It is truly beautiful. Tomorrow we go ot the Safari Park.
p.d. The white haired man with Gabi is Dr. Jerry, the wonderful traveling ped who has been traveling with the group.

  1. Thank you so much for taking the time to blog while on your busy trip! Our daughter was also from Jianxin. We picked our DD up in May 2011. Your daughter is absolutely stunning! What beautiful big eyes she has. It looks as though your son is doing very well and is a wonderful big brother - such a handsome boy! The little Gymboree dress that Gabriela is wearing in that last picture, our DD has too and she wore it while we were in China as well. Enjoy your time in China and soak it all in! The trip goes by so quickly! I'm just so happy for you!
