Yesterday we went with the professional shopper to the pearl market and then the jade market. We think she saved us a ton of money. The pearl market was incredible with millions of pearls. Just big clear plastic bags filled with strands of pearls. Not a few bags. This market was huge with thousands and thousands of bags of pearls. The guide new her stuff about pearls and jade and she really scrutinized each and every pearl and jade. She turned several back due to not grade A quality. To us they looked the same.
Of the 9 families we think Adriana is the most vocal and outgoing. As with all the babies Adriana's age they still do not crawl yet and some can't even sit on their own. Adriana can sit on her own and roll from her back to her tummy. They say for every 3 months in an orphanage they are 1 month behind. They also say they catch back up quickly once your home. Without Cindy's approval I taught Adriana how to stick out her tongue and do the fish face. Now I can't get her to stop. Once we get our computer fixed at home I will be able to send out pictures and video's. We are as disappointed as you are not being able to post pictures.
We went out for dinner tonight with another couple. Adriana ate a full cup of mashed potato's and was still hungry. She has one heck of a little belly. I had to go out and buy a hand carved fat bellied buddah because I think of her little belly like that. We are very lucky that she is one happy little baby and has bonded very well with us. We have been fortunate to have only a few brief meltdowns compared to what some of the other family's are dealing with. Can't wait till the long plane ride is behind us.
Hopefully our next post will be with a fixed computer from home. It's been quite the experience here and have appreciated everything but can't wait to get home.
