Tess has been taking the bottle nicely and we introduced some apple juice today, so far so good. Unfortunately she's so little because she won't take any solid food. We've tried rice cereal and applesauce, and some concoction that babies here like called Congee. It seems to be a rice soup. Nothing has satisfied her, but we'll keep trying different things. Maybe a good pizza crust.
I now know what it's like to be a celebrity and get stared at all the time. We can't figure out if people are staring because we don't look like them, or because we have a Chinese baby. Either way its amusing. The old ladies in line behind us at Wal-Mart couldn't stop touching me and her and laughing. We all took it in stride.
Even though I hate Wal-Mart, the Kunming variety has been a pleasant convenience for all the necessary baby gear. If you want you can also buy live turtles and frogs at Wal-Mart, if that's on your menu for this evening.
Great face Tracy! Anways I haven't had the chance to say congratulations yet!! This is very exciting and I cannot wait to meet Tess! She looks adorable! Sounds like a great trip and I'm looking foward to your homecoming!

I'm a little bit of a blog idiot so I just caught up on all the events. How wonderful to hear all about Tess! She is beautiful! We can't wait to meet her.
