How cute is this....









....funny girl face?? Here are a few pictures from the last couple of days of our sweet little angel! We haven't had the greatest weather (major flooding before we arrived and a typhoon is expected to hit the area tomorrow afternoon!), so we haven't been able to do as much as we had hoped. Thank goodness we have a 3 bedroom apartment to stay in so we can move around quite a bit.

Kai is an extremely active one-year old!! And she has been very clingy to me....I had forgotten the art of eating, brushing teeth and making bottles with one hand while holding a baby on my hip! She is really warming up to Shawn, too, as we knew she would.

We bought a stroller and she just loves riding in it! Every day as the weather would allow, we have taken walks around to different parts of the city. Yesterday we went to the Old Quarter and had lunch at an outdoor cafe around Hoan Kiem Lake. The waitress brought Kai some corn on the cob and she LOVED it! We had to ask for a second piece to get through lunch - - wish I had a bucketful! :)

Kai has been very sad at bedtime; crying for a long time before going to sleep. But last night - no tears!! I think we are making significant strides in her adjustment to us - - - what a relief! She is SOO snuggly and sweet and funny! She makes this hilarious, huge-smiley face when she thinks something is funny - - like when she passes gas! And she is really smart. She helps Daddy put the key card in the door, knows how to push the buttons on the tv, goes to the door when she wants to go somewhere, and so many other things that tell us she understands. What an awesome time we are having getting to know her!!

Thanks to everyone for all the best wishes! Hopefully we will be home next week and can see everyone very soon!!

She is just so cute, you could eat her up! Glad you guys can get out a little during the day when the weather looks better. Stay safe!

Wendy- She really is such a beautiful little girl. I just want to kiss that face through the computer screen. I am so HAPPY for Kai. She has no idea what a blessing you are in her life. The crying will stop as soon as she realizes this. She is definitely going through a lot, though. I wish I could hold her and comfort her and tell her that she is SOOOOO blessed to be going to your family that will love her more than ANYTHING. I can't wait to see Austin with her for the first time (it makes me cry just thinking about this meeting!) I am just so overjoyed and can't stop typing. Can't wait to meet Kai. I love her already!!!
