Happy Wednesday

Bella has had such a great day today! Yesterday was spent grieving; today was spent winning Mommy and Daddy over. She woke up at 6:30am and has been in a great mood ever since. In the Chinese language, "Baba" is "Daddy". We've been using Baba and Daddy to describe Brian. Today she looked at Brian and said Baba. You would think it would be Daddy who started crying, but no, Mommy started crying. She has been giving us smiles and babbling like a champ. We are so in love.

We went to a park this morning and watched the eclipse that happened in our part of the world. The park was unlike any that we have at home. It was huge and has amusement park rides. Our guide, XiXi, explained that in China it's common to have parks such as this. Most people live in 800 sq ft homes/apartments, so they have to have a place to go to visit and be with friends.

After the park we visited the Hunan Embroidery Museum. There was gorgeous work there and Bella has a souvenir to enjoy when she's older.

Please excuse the fact that there's no pictures. I've been trying to upload pics for a while now, but they're just not going through. Mommy has to get in bed because it's late here! Will upload pics in the morning (my time).
