These are a few of her favorite things

With our guide out on an orphanage visit with one of the families in our group, we had a kick back day near the hotel today. The farthest we've ventured was the mall next door, where a custodian chastised us for the inch of skin showing above Rose's ankle. Rose had her first swim in the pool with Daddy and Annie, which was much less traumatic than getting into and out of the swimsuit. We're also getting to know her. She's been laughing and cooing and entertaining us all day.

She's not a huge fan of toys, instead preferring zippers, watches, rings, and any small mobile device. She got really excited and started kicking her legs when Annie started Angry Birds, which leads me to believe that the ayis in the orphanage introduced it to her already.




She's already sporting ice.


What time is it? It's time for lunch.


She loves that finger. She sticks it way up in her cleft.

Well in one of the chinese ny outfit pictures the nanny was definately texting, or something...so I guess the kids are definately familiar with cell phones! Hadn't considered that! I suppose Angry Birds could be a familiar concept! lol! Glad Rose seems to be feeling better and you are settling in! Enjoy :) Many blessings!!!!!

My friend Azucar shared this with me.
I have 3 children I've adopted. I also have a cleft lip and palate.
This is beautiful.
Thank you for sharing your story!

She's beautiful and playful -- can't wait to meet her in a week! Wondering if/how Eddie watched BYU come back and beat Iona! My bet is yes!
Love, Annie
