More pictures of Genei...and she is smiling!




I'm sorry I haven't been posting more. It is so hot and humid here that with busy days spent walking around by about 8pm I am exhausted.

Genei has been doing very well. She is very attached to her mommy and wants me most of the time. But she also loves her daddy, especially when he feeds her or bounces her up and down (see pictures above). She is beginning to be more relaxed and active. She has 7 teeth, including a couple molars on the bottom. As far as sizing goes, 6 month clothing fits her perfectly, but aren't expecting that to last very long....This girl can eat. She is taking 4-5 bottles per day and eating table food with meals. Our guide laughs and says she is always eating.
The last picture is at the Civil Affairs office in Jinan. On June 30th her adoption was final and she was legally ours. The lady in the picture with us (I can't remember her name) is one of the orphanage directors. Both she and our guide have been surprised at how quickly Genei seems to have attached to us. Praise God for prayers answered.
