Last night was a tough one. Jaden cried in pain for almost 2 hours. She is having trouble going potty. Thankfully we were given a package filled with medicine and prescriptions from a family that had traveled in April had what we needed. So she was able to pass a little and she felt much better and fell back to sleep in her crib. Today she made up for not sleeping well last night and took a 4 hour nap.
Today was the day we took the babies to their medical exam. Jaden was 20.2 lbs with clothes on and showing to be very healthy. She did not like being handled by strangers and was crying but stopped as soon as she was back in my arms. This is a very quick check so we will take her to our Pediatrician when we get home. Some of the babies have upper respiratory infections and are on antibiotics. Some of us met in one of the families rooms tonight after dinner and had prayer time. So please keep these sick babies in your prayers too. And also Jaden so we can get her belly in working order.
We are having so much fun with her. Her personality is coming out more and more. Tonight we ate dinner at the Cow and Bridge, which is a very good Tai restaurant, and she was reaching for everything, just as a one year old should. So it was fun being kept on our toes making sure nothing that she couldn't play with was out of her reach.
Ron and I did some shopping after dinner and got Jaden her first pair of "squeaky shoes" she looks so cute in shoes. She even let me stand her up and take a few steps while I held her. She is very shaky on her own legs. For those of you that don't know what squeaky shoes are, they are very cute silk or leather shoes here in China that have little squeakers in the heels so when the babies walk they squeak to encourage walking and I also think so you know when your baby is getting away from you. The squeakers can come out and you still have a very nice pair of shoes for only a few u.s. dollars. I did some more shopping after we gave Jaden her bath. Everything is so cheep and its a lot of fun to barter.

I just saw the New videos. She is Daddy's little girl already! Ron you look soooooooo in love and we are so proud of you guys. She is soooooooo beautiful and we can see all her teeth in the new videos. Awesome! Love how she comforts herself w/ her feet, so cute. I was confused when you were coming back but now I know. We cannot wait to see you home as I know you want to be as well.We are so happy that she is happy and healthy and that all has worked out so well for your entire family. Mom does not have a computer and she is going crazy not reading/seeing the videos but I think she is going to your house tomm to check on Dusty and log on to see. I have been reading your blogs to her on the phone and describing the videos which has helped but is torture too because she wants to see it all of course. All is well here we just want you guys to get home now.
