A Day of Firsts

Lucy Rose discovered today that she loves these Chinese sugared doughnuts and her Jie Jie, Katie.  Before today, Lucy Rose has only let Katie hold her for very brief periods of time before she started crying for me. As her trust develops, she is learning that Katie will not take her from me and that I will be here - every time. It is so sweet watching these two interact. They make each other laugh - a lot!! 

And she ate . . . A lot!!! Finally!  Lucy Rose loves ham and ate almost 2 pieces at breakfast and gobbled down a whole doughnut. We offered fruit but that was not to her liking at breakfast.  Lunch was in our room today with good ole Ramen noodles and banana - 1st fruit she ate for us.  Dinner was at Fadinio's pizza near the China Hotel - this was our 2nd meal there, and it did not disappoint. Lucy loved the Four cheese pizza and potato wedges as much as we did!

Katie loved having Lucy Rose fall asleep in her arms for a nap for the first time today. It was only 10:45 am so neither of us expected her to fall asleep - but she did.

1st time at the pool- Lucy Roses's bathing suit ( along with most of her current clothing, was way too big but better too big than too small!).  Lucy Rose never got all the way in, but she seemed to enjoy splashing around at the edge.

Another 1st - trying to climb onto the table. I think this picture sums up where our girl is- she is feeling confident with us and is ready to try new things . . . Learning to trust and perhaps love!
