One month old and needs a day planner...

One month has gone by and it's been so fun looking through the pictures of all that we have been able to do with this little girl.  And to think that this is after slowly down our life dramatically!

Reading with Grandma Chase.

Going on a stroller ride.

Cheering on her friends running the 5K and 10K!

Meeting her new friend Elisha in the hospital born 6 days after her.


Posing for her passport picture.

Her official passport!  Can't believe this thing is going to last 5 years.


Lots of taxi rides to doctors appointments and the Consulate.
On the rooftop at a bonfire.  Too bad she can't enjoy marshmallows yet.


Chillin' with her baby friends Noah and Elisha.


Stroller rides to the market.


Photo shoot with Mom and Dad in the park.


Supporting the Philippines fundraiser while the team paints Carnival signs.


And then enjoying the carnival!


Posing with her pumpkin.


Being a model for mom's projects.

Along with Nora's adventures around Shenyang, here are some other one month updates:
  • She hates waking up.  Just about cries every time until she realizes where she is at.
  • Sleeps six hour stretches every night and needs to even be woken up to feed.  Thank you Nora!
  • Stares at the picture frames on the walls.
  • LOVE baths...HATES getting out.
  • Kicks and flails her arms all the time.  Dave and I have endured a few punches to the face!
  • Sounds like a little growling tiger when trying to "talk".
  • Loves the pacifier.
  • Falls asleep to the sound of crowds, music blaring, bumpy stroller rides or being held in the Ergo.
  • Sleeps on her side.
  • 9ish pounds
  • 75th percentile in weight and 90th for height!
We'll keep making notes of her little developments...they are sure fun to watch.
