Shopping Day

January 7, 2004

Our 2nd night with Jaden went much more smoothly than the first. She went to sleep around 7:30 and slept until 12:30am. She had a bottle and played a little until 2:30 and then went back to sleep. She is desperately looking for whatever she used to sleep with, which makes me sad. I guess she used to suck on a blanket to sleep and the blankets we have aren't the same. I am hoping to see a blanket like she had at the orphanage when we go on Saturday and maybe we can find something like it. We went to Wal Mart today as a group and it was very interesting. In some ways it was very similar to our store (only cheaper) and in other ways it was very unusual. There were some strange food items around and that whole section smelled absolutely nasty! These people eat some weird stuff. We only got scolded once by an old lady about not having enough clothes on Jaden. She rode around with me in the Baby Bjorn and had a good time. She was a little fussy on the bus back to the hotel because she was pretty tired. We tried to get her to take a nap and at first, it looked like she was going to, but then she pooped and it was downhill from there. She had quite the little meltdown and inconsolable for a few minutes. We finally made her a bottle which helped temporarily, but then the fit was back on. Finally, we loaded her into the carrier and Derek walked her up and down the hall until she went to sleep. She has been much happier since then and is playing on the bed with Derek right now. She has the cutest smile you have ever seen and has giggled a lot today. She is starting to get more vocal and has the cutest little girly voice. She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth so we have to really watch what we give her to play with. We are going to give her a bath tonight and hope that we have another good night.
Checking Daddy out (and check out that pollution out the window, it was so dreary and foggy in Changsha)
