Day 12 and 13 – 10/19 and 10/20/09 – STILL in Guangzhou

Monday

 

Jacinda started being fussy today.  We're not sure if it was because of the shots or if she's just adjusting to us.  We went to a huge park in the morning and it was beautiful, but very hot.

 

Today was the day that both Aaron and I really got homesick.  We're ready to be in our own house, cook our own food, sleep in our own bed, have ice in our drinks, and see Luke!  We're also ready to introduce Jacinda to the rest of her family!!!!

 

Jacinda is really starting to show her personality to us.  She's from the Hunan province, and the girls from that province are known as spicy girls.  She certainly is spicy!  When we take something away that she can't have, like a cord, or something sharp, she stomps her little feet, crumples up her face and cries.  It's actually really cute, and we have to try not to laugh!

 

She is also continuing to warm up to Aaron, but still on her own terms.  She'll play with him, but will rarely let him carry her.  When she does, it's only for a few minutes.  But we're getting there.

 

Tuesday

 

We did a little shopping today, but it started to rain.  This afternoon, we did some group pictures with all the families from our adoption agency.

 

Tonight, we're going on a river cruise with all the families.  It will be pretty late when we get back, so we'll blog about it tomorrow.

 

Tomorrow, we head to the US Consulate to do some paperwork.

  1. Hi Sherry!
    Congrats again!!!
    Jacinda is adorable and (other than the ulcer) looks like she is doing incredibly well! Those stacking balls are great! Can I ask where you got them? (hoping our TA comes this week!)
