Lucy Rose had her medical exam done today in order to get her visa to enter the U.S. Of course, she was not very happy about being poked & prodded by a stranger. She is quite a peanut - 7.7 kg or 17 pounds and 76 cm. She actually is smaller than Lilly was at her adoption but Lilly was 4 months younger & had a heart defect to explain her low weight. Hopefully Lucy Rose will put on some serious pounds once we get home. Katie has introduced Lucy Rose to Oreos & Skittles so far.
Next Katie and I decided to be adventurous as we have been quite bored sitting around the hotel so much. After we finished the medical appointment, we had our driver take us to Baiyun Mountain also known as White Cloud Mountain. I had never heard of it until this trip when I asked our guide to tell me of some places to visit that aren't typically on adoptive families itinerary. I am so glad we went - it provided some magnificent views of the city despite the smog! We took a cable car up and walked back down. We certainly got our e excise for the day! Thankfully we had no trouble finding a taxi to take us back to our hotel.
Wonderful post!!
