Tuesday Morning

Miss Madelyn was a great sleeper. Wow! I'm thinking we got the wrong baby. She doesn't cry, she sleeps, and she's quiet. Is this really our child?

This morning we went through several clothes. I took her to breakfast with her pants unbuttoned. Thankfully our guide is taking us to a children's store at 10:30. We are going to buy some larger clothes and a stroller. She's very long. She's got to be the longest baby in our group for sure. She is the only one that does not sit up. In the highchair she kept leaning over and bumping her head on the table. All the others could sit up in the highchairs just fine.

She wasn't feeling so great this morning. We've given her some pediacare. Her poor little nose is a fountain that doesn't stop running. She fell asleep in my arms while I was trying to eat my breakfast. Since her nap though she seems to be doing better. She's been smiling at Logan and bouncing. Right now she's having playtime in the floor with her little panda bear and a rattle and saying "da da da da"

Her orphanage friend Estee loaned her a pink hairbow. I didn't bring any that would work for babies hair. I'm hoping to find one at the baby store this morning. Madelyn's hair kinda looks like a boy's haircut so we need some bows.

She attempted congee for the first time this morning. We weren't successful at getting her to eat. Our guide said that the 10 month olds tend not to eat yet. I think we'll wait until we get home and put her in a reclining chair before attempting to spoon feed again. She doesn't have the back support. She's just a long, floppy baby that is very limber.
