WE HAVE MEI MEI

Well we have another charmer! We headed out for the adoption office
at 7:30 am. We were glad we did as we got processed first. Our
guide told us Kunming does adoption processing once a month and
there were twenty families today. It was chaos!!! But the office
people knew what they were doing. We knew when Mei Mei came in as she
was the only blue eyed blond in the group. :-) They made us fill out
forms before we could get the babies. When I went over to her she
was fine with me, she let me pick her up with no problems and was
thrilled with the rattle mirror I brought her. She went to dad OK
at first then decided she wasn't happy after all; papa brought out
the cheerios and made her day. She likes her food! She is NOT
malnourished LOL she weighs 25.2 lbs. Her cheeks are chubby. She
was fine in papas lap until they had me take her and get her foot
print. After that she cried for two hours straight. She has a good
set of lungs! She was by far the loudest baby there. She wanted to
be walked and my arms and ears my never recover LOL. Once she
settled down and decided we were cool, and then we started getting
giggles and grins. She is far more interested in Baby Bug than dad or
I but flirts like mad with us. She would rather be in her crib than
be held, so we have some work to do that way, also at the moment she
just sees us as another set of caregivers and nothing special. She
will get the hang of this family thing soon I'm sure. She will
throw her toys then say YI YI YI (naughty naughty) and laugh. She
is happy and healthy acting, but her eyes have more issues than I
thought. She does have a definite nystigmas, this means that her
eyes twitch back and forth. Her vision appears to be worse than I
was expecting. We have an appointment with a top eye specialist the
first part of October, so we will know more then. At the moment she
has fallen asleep and Baby Bug carefully put her doll next to her and
put a blanket over her. Baby Bug is lying in the spot next to Mei Mei, I
told her I would sleep there in-between them, Baby Bug said no, she was
sleeping next to Mei Mei in case Mei Mei needed her she could help her.
Baby Bug had a hard time in the chaos of the office, but has done great
otherwise.
