Day 3 Still in Guangzhou

Today we walked off the island to the street
market where you can buy dried seahorses
or antelope antlers for cooking. We had an
official adoption certificate done this afternoon.
The we came back and Caprice took Emma to
the park with another girl. I stayed here with
Ivy. After Caprice left, Ivy went and laid by the
door. I had to move her when room service came.
Then she would go into whatever room I wasn't in.
We stayed here and then I decided she would like
to go walking. She walks really well. I haven't seen
her fall once. We walked down to the park and
I walked up to a woman that looked like Caprice and
Ivy had her arms out, but was shocked when picked
up, realizing it wasn't her mother.

Ivy didn't really eat anything today. She doesn't really
chew anything. She holds things in her mouth and
may swallow later, may not. Thank goodness for Ensure.
She isn't reaching for things much and just doesn't do
much other than sit with Caprice. She travels well and
doesn't complain. I can still make her cry with the touch
of a finger. When she cries she looks like she really tries
to hold it back.

I just wish she would eat.
We ate at Lucy's twice today.
The top photo is one I just took.
I can wait to get her back so you all can see her.
Thanks for all of your emails.
