Well, we started the day off by getting Lulu's passport and Visa pictures taken. Other than refusing to wake up for a bit, she shined in front of the camera. She's actually coming quite the Diva. She looks to cuddle, and demands it! Which is a good sign, as babies from orphanages sometimes have trouble bonding and don't want to be touched. Not our Lulu - she loves attention!
As any good Diva demands, we spent the afternoon shopping in the Old Quarter with our friends Becca and Sam, and their daughter, Claire. We found a traditional dress that Lulu will wear to her baptism - and some new frocks for Mommie, Daddy, and Gabe to wear as well. They came from the oldest running silk shop in Hanoi - the same place where heads of State shop - we feel very fancy.
Lulu picked out a lovely wooden cricket that chirps for her brother Gabe today. It really does sound like the real thing - she thinks Gabe will love it!
Her appetite continues to grow, and we couldn't be more thrilled. She is up to 4 oz on a good feeding, a huge leap from the 1 1/2 oz she could barely get down just a few days ago.
Aside from that, and some very ancient and bad cable TV (although I did stumble upon a Vietnamese soap opera that was subtitled in English - absolutely fabulous!), we are just trying to pass the time until we can get home to Gabe and you all can meet our Lulu! Check out her pick today, we took it at lunch - she's in a rickshaw!
Tomorrow is our first interview with the embassy - so keep us in your thoughts!
Love,
Joni, Aaron & Lulu
