HAPPY EASTER from Guangzhou, China!
Today was another busy and fun day! It was a day of playtime,
temper tantrums, shopping, eating, laughing, standing, making
noises, kisses and hugs, walking, bath time, and much more.
After a long day, we will keep the update short today and just
let the pictures speak for themselves. We will catch everyone up
more tomorrow!
“FIRSTS FOR THE DAY”
(some of these may or may not really be the first time
Ainsley has done something, but right now they are definitely
“firsts” with her new family)
• Ainsley celebrated her first Easter with her Daddy and
grandmas
• Ainsley played tea by pretending to pour drink into a cup
• Ainsley went to the Guangzhou version of Wal-Mart (a place
called Carrefour)
• Ainsley made many different sounds today, including clicking
her tongue on the roof of her mouth and saying “ba ba” (Mandarin
for Daddy)
• Ainsley started mimicking Daddy doing various things (this is
dangerous!)
For those of you who are wondering what is going on at home with
Shannon and Griffin in Pittsburgh, here is a short update:
UPDATE
FROM HOME
One week down and one week to go until Mommy and Griffin
get to meet Ainsley and see Daddy again! We are counting
down the days. We spent this past week doing lots of fun
things with Griffin's Great Aunt Kathy who was a huge
help. Some of the highlights from the past week were
Griffin losing his cord, surpassing his birth weight (up
to 9.3 pounds), taking his first tub bath which he loved,
going out to lunch (PF Changs and Mad Mex), and just in
the past day or two he started cooing! It is amazing to
see him change each day. I can't wait to see him and
Ainsley together finally. We've also been preparing for
Ainsley by getting her car seat installed and lowering her
crib mattress so she can't escape - which we hear from
Daddy that she tries very hard to do! We've enjoyed
several video chats online with Daddy and Ainsley so we
can see them and they can see us. Of course, it's not the
same until they're home! Come home soon! – Shannon &
Griffin |
