Mister/Lady

Yesterday a driver in front of me was driving strait down the line of the two lanes.

Mama: (talking out loud to myself) Mister what are you doing?

Baby Bug: laughing out loud

Mama: Whats funny?

Baby Bug: You always say mister, Papa always say Lady.

Yup, that about sums it up. :-)

PS Papa is my dad

Update

My grandma was moved from the hospital to a nursing home and continues to improve. She still has a bad cough, but the worst of the pneumonia is past.
My mom has been getting worse not better, so she went to the doctor. Her crud has gone into bronchitis.
So far Baby Bug and I have avoided this crud, knock on wood. :-)
Please pray for grandma and mom to get feeling better.

Picking the bugs out

Baby Bug picked up my tweezers and looked at herself in the mirror.
Baby Bug: Look mama I'm plucking my eyebrows
mama: you are how nice.
Baby Bug: Yup I'm picking the bugs out!

IT'S HERE IT'S HERE IT'S HERE!!!!!!!!

My 171 (US immigration services permission to adopt a foreign orphan) has arrived!!! Yes Jumping up and down with joy!!!! Dad ran over and checked my mail for me, he just called to tell me it was there. :-) Thank you dad! I applied for this form back in September. At the longest it should have taken 2 months to receive, instead after much intervention by the Senators office, an many prayers it arrived today. Now I can send mt dossier to China. The frustrating thing is, many of the other families with children from the same waiting list as Mei-Mei will leave to pick up their children on the 1st of March. I should have been traveling in a week with them.

Ill be there soon my baby!

A fun game

I was trying to get Baby bug ready for church yesterday and could not find matching hair clips in the right color. I have a Tupperware container full of clips, but it seems like a kind never find a matched pair when we need them. In frustration I dumped the container out on the floor and started going through them clipping pairs together. Baby bug sat next to me and got excited. :-)

Baby bug: You matching them?

Mama Bug :yes, do you see any matches?

Baby Bug: Yeah this be a fun matching game! Thank you buy this game.

A Half an Inch!!!!

When Baby Bug got dressed this morning, an outfit that fit last week was too small. I mesured her against the wall. The last time she was mesured was 1/07/07 since then she has grown a half an inch! The thing about this growth spurt? On 1/07 she had grown half an inch since thanksgiving. Yup that is one inch since the third week in November. This for a child who had been in size 24 month clothes for a year. She bypassed 2T and is now in 3T sizes. :-) YEAH!

Is it time to go to China?

This is what Baby Bug asks me every morning. It breaks my heart to say no. My sweey Mei-Mei sits in an orphanage, while I fight red tape. :-( I cant wait for the day I can answer YES.

Happy Valentines Day

Baby Bug has been very excited for this day. :-) She asked me a few days ago if she would get candy for valentines. I told her yes, her request? "I want some lots of carmels in a baggie that I not have to share." As her idea of lots is 5-10, she got her wish. :-)

Grandma

My grandma is in the hospital with pnumonia. :-( Please pray for her recovery and also for my mom who is trying to cover all the bases with my grandma and caring for Baby Bug.

Naked but

I was cooking dinner when I heard "mama, mama, maaamaaa." I went to check on Baby Bug and found her stipped and sitting in the (empty) bath tub. Upon seeing me she anouced "I got a naked but and no water" LOL Yup I ran a bath for her. :-)
