This was the view from our hotel in Nanchang. We have told since we are home that the owner of the building died during it construction and no one has taken over and it is full of squatters. I did see a lady walking on the decking in a dress and thought it was pretty strange to see a dress blowing in the breeze on a construction site - lol.
This is the last minute panic to purchase formula and rice cereal just before we received the babies in Nanchang.
The soil of Lily's province is red - isn't that interesting - just like here at home.
Travelling to Nanchang from Beijing. Please note I am lugging all of CAM's luggage - ha. A photographer has to have her hands free to take these great shots.
The above is from the evening we arrived in Beijing. Exhaustion and excitement all wrapped into a not so pretty package - lol.*****
Today was Lily's 18 month check-up with our family doctor. She is now 17 pounds and 8 ounces and 29 inches long, grow Lily grow!
She also received a regular seasonal flu shot, she was a brave little trooper again, of course there were some tears but they dried up quickly and she received two stickers from the kind nurse to compensate for her pain. Dr. H is great as long as she does not actually try to touch Lily, then Lily gets quite scared and clings to Dale.
Lily's crib is a Storkcraft and there was a major recall announced yesterday. I have been trying for a day and half to get a hold of someone to order the replacement kit and no luck, very frustrating. I have been calling the 1-866 number and trying to reach them on-line. How can I let her sleep in that crib now that we know about the recall, even if it does seem very sturdy? Lily flops about during her sleep so obviously we cannot let her use the crib till it is fixed, this is definitely not going to help the afternoon nap issues.
CAM sent us a couple of disks of pics from our trip to China, I thought I would post a few(tried to make them appear at the bottom of my post but I did not succeed). Thanks again C, they are amazing shots and you are too talented. N

Hi Noella,
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting a chance to catch up on your blog...seems like little Lily is doing well. She is so sweet in the pictures! Are you completely loving being her momma???
Take care....hopefully we'll see you at the Christmas get together!

hey Noella - love checkin out what Lily is up to- she is growing- how old is she ?? I know how you feel about the crib thing we are in the same boat and the customer service from Storkcraft SUCKS!!!I havent had any luck getting in contact either- the one website I was on talked of cracking and wear on the plastic parts and also the metal- we went over Annas crib with a fine tooth comb and it shows none of these signs of wear so for now she is still sleeping in her crib - under careful supervision of course--good luck - chat to ya soon JAN
