Questions about Gigi....
Does she stand on her own? no
If she is standing, how many steps can she take? holding my hands only & not happy about it - wants to sit or be held
Does she still crawl around? haven't seen her crawl - not sure if she can. She's not happy when I put her on her belly
What size is she wearing? 12 months but I think she will grow quickly. Her belly is getting bigger in just the few days we've had her & that's just from formula
What does she like to play with? the baby einstein small music toy I brought her. It has colored lights that flash to the classical music. She finally touched it yesterday!! That made my day. She felt every part of it w/ her little fingers & not just the nervous tapping she does when scared...she was feeling it.
Did you bring any Disney DVDs she can watch on the laptop? No we meant to but forgot - we haven't even used the laptop...should have left it behind - doing everything on our phones. So happy about our phones!
What words can she say? none that I know of.
Maybe get someone to translate so you can tell her when she gets older? She really just cries. No words yet. It's more like she's an infant than a toddler.
Daddy & Gigi are still sleeping...she is a good sleeper but a wiggle worm. Head startas on one end of crib but ends up on the other in the morning!
I'm going to try to go back to sleep some more now because I think that's why I've been getting so dizzy. It's just hard to fall asleep. I miss my bed and pillows!! Plus we're in twin beds so I miss Dan too! LOL!
Love,
Gigi's Mommy

When we were in China the babies could not:
Walk or crawl. Much of their time was spend on their backs in the crib. The orphanages are so very crowded its one nanny to 3-4 babies. One on one time is minimal. When we put Ellie on her back she would stay there. We nicknamed her "the turtle."
Talk. They babble in tones. We were told the babies were learning how to say "Mommy" and "Daddy" in Chinese. "Baba" is the Chinese word for Daddy and "Ma" is mommy. The nanny's would repeat these words to the babies, but there were only a couple in our travel group who could say them. Mostly its Chinese baby talk just like English children start babbling.
