Happy Birthday Yun Zhen

I was going to write a nice long entry during Yun Zhen's nap. But she keeps waking up and wants me to hold her. It is pretty hard to type while holding a baby so I'll make it short.
She has the most magical small cry. She has been working hard to be endearing... She has never had one caregiver. She is used to a lot of people taking care of her and she is not hard to take care of.
When she wakes up she looks so confused and lost. That's when we hear the loudest cries.
Feeding her has been the hardest. We have been told not to change her diet until we get her home. That this is stressful enough. But she is so interested in our food. She swipes it off my plate. Sticks it in her mouth and then spits it out. Picks it up and tries again.
I think we may have to do laundry more often...
Kai is definitely missing Grandma. He feels lost and of course jealous. Poor guy. But he is handling it remarkably well.

Thanks for the beautiful picture, and keep the posts coming.

Kai is now an official member of the Mad Science Rockin Rockets camp, the Mad Science Secret Agent Lab Camp, and the Specialty-A-Day camp. Enrollment was very easy.

Say hello to Kai -- Tell him that we are at the beach and will bring hism here this summer to look under rocks and find the seals...

You make a lovely family -- She is very cute.

I went out and bought her clothes for her birthday -- Hope she is somewhere around the 12month size...if not let me know and I'll exchange.

Love Mom/Diana/Grandma
