I love your daily updates!!! Feels like I'm right there with you. Little Nicky, sure look very busy. His S.B. doesn't seem to stop him a bit!! He is gorgeous, gorgeous and has got the perfect smile. Poor little Noelle, it must be a difficult trip for her. The jet lag thing can sure hit you like a brick. Hopefully, she can get on china time for the reminder of the next week.!! I saw pictures of Little Peng handing out a doll to a little girl. I assume she must be adopted. What precious photos you have for her family! They are all beautiful children. Wishing I could be there with you for one of them. Tell your Dad, he's going a great job with the pictures!! Hugs xxx Manon Oh Amy!!!!!

It sounds like he is eating more like a true six year old...picking at his food and wanting treats first. Noelle is quite the exception to the variety and quantity of food she is able to eat. At least Peng is willing to try new foods, but I would be surprised if he is as easy to feed as Noelle. How much does he weigh? You indicated that the clothes are too big...what size is he? Don't kick yourself too much about bringing Noelle with you on this trip. Prior to the trip, noone would have been able to tell you differently on whether or not to bring Noelle. As I recall, prior to the trip you indicated that it would be very hard to be away from Noelle for two weeks. Before you had Peng, it was just you and your little sweety and very difficult for both of you to imagine life without the other. Now that you have Peng, and want to bond with him too, it is noticeably harder to do with a toddler's demanding needs at every corner. Perhaps your dad could take Noelle for a few hours each day in China so that you can have some uninterrupted time with Peng? Hard to say, since Noelle will not be happy about any change right now. I am glad that your mother will be with you for a few days when you return from China because it sounds like you are going to need some sleep. My last trip to pick up Linzi, I got home from the airport around 9am and slept 24 hours...it is a much different trip with number two... Does Peng have a cold? The doctors at the White Swan hotel were very helpful with antibiotics. If you need to schedule a playdate or time for us to come over so you can get some things done or rest, let us know! I would be glad to entertain the kids for awhile. Can't wait for the next report of your trip! Hey Amy~ Noelle~ Nikky~
