Day 8

Sorry everybody, you probably wondered what happened yesterday. Busy day and trouble getting Avery to sleep last night, so I didn't get my usual time on the computer in the evening. Yesterday went well. We had her medical exam in the morning (with the rest of the group). Very sterile environment, nurses even wearing caps! Avery's weight is up to 26.4# (last we knew was 24#) and height up to 88cm from 87. It rained the rest of the day, so we layed low. Keith decided to be daring and ordered some little fish from the hotel restaurant for lunch. The kind where you eat the whole thing, head and all! Needless to say, he felt a little nauseated later in the day, so we had room service for dinner!
Today after breakfast our group went with Zhou to a museum (pictures posted) which was built as a family home originally. We had chinese tea there, even the little girls. Avery seemed to really like it. We spent time looking at beautiful artwork there (ivory carvings, embroidery wall hangings, wood carvings on roof) and then went to McDonalds for lunch!! We rode the subway there, very clean, safe. Tomorrow he's taking us to the Jade Market. Weather very damp, NO SUN!!!
Avery is doing better everyday. I was holding her at the museum and one of the ladies (local) put out her arms to hold her and she wouldn't go, so that's a good thing. I think she's getting used to us being her mama and baba.
Only 7 days until we get on a jetplane!!!!!!!!!!!! Love, Keith, Jackie and Avery
