Healthy Baby

Mary Kate was evaluated today by the medical examiner in Guangzhou and was a very brave girl, she only shed a few tears. The doctor said that she had ear wax in her ears, but no infection! She also weighed Mary Kate and she has already gained one and a half pounds in the last week. We have run out of cheerios, but she has discovered a new favorite, Ritz Peanut Butter Crackers, she is on her 3rd package today!

The photographer took the day off today so I apologize for no photographs. He is very homesick and it does not help that Mary Kate will not allow him to hold her hand, give her a bottle or carry her more than momentarily. We are assuming that she must have been very close to her foster mother, which is a blessing, we think that she was very loved. She is so precious and full of personality! I can't believe that today marks our first week together, it seems like it has been much longer.

We miss you guys!! We have so enjoyed following your journey on your blog, but, we are ready for you to come home! We want to see that little angel (and her parents) in person!
Tell Jay to hang in there. In each new picture she looks happier and more at ease. She is so lucky to have you both.
You are still very much in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs to all, Love, Sarah and family
