Day 7&8 - Chongqing - getting to know Sydney

Sorry we missed posting yesterday. Just been getting to know Sydney and spend some good time with her. We went on a couple of little shopping excursions around the hotel. Also went to the Chongqing Zoo today to see the panda's.

Syd is a great little girl. She is slowly coming out of her shell and getting used to us. We can get some really beautiful smiles out of her now. Syd loves being held and if it were up to her, would probably spend all day and night in our arms.

I think that Syd still misses her nannies. while we were in the bus on the way back from the zoo, she was sitting on my lap looking out of the window. At one point, the bus was stopped at the lite and there was a middle aged women standing on the side walk. Sydney got her lip thing going and started crying. She has a couple of different cries. The normal I'm hungry or wet cry and then she has this very sad cry. She did the sad cry.


Sydney is getting over an ear infection at the moment. Mommy the pharmacist had some Zithromax on standby and that seems to be doing the trick. It looks like several of the babies have an ear infection and a bit of chest congestion. I guess that's what eight plus hours on a bus will do. I think that all of the kids that were sick are on their way to feeling better now so hopefully, by the time we reach the White Swan there will be a big group of happy and healthy kids for the red couch picture!
Sorry we don't have more pictures today. Mom and Dad have been using the camcorder a bit more than the still these last couple of days. We'll try to do better tomorrow.

Any how, We got our first poopie out of Sydney today. Anyone who is about to come over, her (and those of her friends that are here too) poop is really hard. Bring some kind of softener\suppository! Prunes aren't working.

All for now, ttalk to y'all later.

Love,
Joe,Anne Marie and Syd.

PS - Kyle and Spencer - Miss you guys.
