Day 2 and 3 with Lucy Rose

Day 2 with our girl. . .

Chen RunYuan, 1 of an estimated 1 million orphans in China, officially became Lucy Rose Ruyuan Bryant, a loved and cherished daughter and sister today!

Day 3 - 

This girl eats like a bird! The orphanage said she liked meat and this morning at breakfast she proved them right. She devoured the slice of ham. Tolerated scrambled eggs and pineapple. Enjoyed chicken at Tekilas tonight for dinner. 

Our sweet girl loves Dumbo which we sent in a care package to her, the stacking cups, & books.

Floor time is a lot of fun for Lucy - she scoots mostly on her bottom but crawled a little today and took a few steps by herself!! We have large mirrors in the hallway of the room.  She loves to look at herself in the mirrors.  She talks and talks to herself and the. Laughs - so precious!

She is starting to talk more and more as she becomes comfortable with us. We don't understand much though!  She repeats a lot of our words - Katie, mama, hello, bye bye.  She has the sweetest voice.

She has such a sweet smile & such an adorable laugh!!! 

Lucy is mostly a very happy and sweet girl unless she is hungry or sleepy.  

No her teeth are not rotten - she's simply enjoying her 1st Oreo!

I am loving having Katie here with Lucy and me. She has been such good company and of course, a great help to me.  And she keeps Lucy and me both laughing with her crazy self!

We had another great day today - had lots of play time in the room, did some exploring at a nearby park, met a new friend for some shopping and dinner. Little Lucy woke me this morning at 4 30 so I am going to bed as soon as she does tonight!  Good night from China!!!
