More Pictures of Kaylee
- January 27th, 2005

More pictures!

Instead of attaching the photos, I posted a bunch of them on our adoption blog. Just click on the word Photo in the upper left margin.

Kaylee is feeling much better but Naomi is still really sick. She stayed in the room all day. She has the body aches, cold, & cough. She is still taking her medication and hopefully she will be better by Saturday (Friday for you) when we travel to Guangzhou. Tomorrow afternoon we will start packing and getting ready to leave.

Kaylee is making a lot of progress. She is now smiling all the time! She has an absolutely beautiful smile. Especially when she sticks her tongue out. :-P But I'm having a very difficult time getting a picture of her smiling. When I begin to take a picture of her, my camera has a light on the front that turns on. As soon as she sees the light, she gets a serious look on her face and just stares at the camera. I've tried putting my hand in front of the camera and then moving it away real quick, but so far no luck. I will continue to try.

Kaylee sat up by herself several times today for 5 to 10 seconds before she fell like a sack of potato's. This is very encouraging. We know it is going to take some time, but we are encouraged with every new development.

She doesn't like laying on her stomach. But they tell us to try to give her some tummy time. I guess she will need to learn to crawl
before she can walk.

Kaylee stares at the television when we put cartoons on. I think she enjoys hearing the Chinese language and the music. We have a Chinese lullaby CD that I play in the laptop. And we plan to buy some Chinese DVD's when we get home.

She enjoys taking baths!

Kaylee is asleep for the night and we are about to call it a day. Hopefully we will get a full nights sleep. But I won't mind if Kaylee wants to hang out with Daddy again and play in front of the night light.

G'night

Mark (Naomi & Kaylee)
