Adding another scallywag..: Fuzhou

We left Fuzhou early on Saturday morning. It was a bitter sweet goodbye. We love Fujian Province because our little Ollie was born there but we were ready to move on to Guangzhou and have more space, a different variety of food and some more relaxing days. This trip we're staying at The Garden. One word, SWANKY!!!!! Holy moly, it is gorgeous!!!! We have a mini suite, which has a living room and a bedroom. The bathroom is super fancy! Oliver loves it and just can't believe he has all this space to practice his walking. He is walking GREAT by the way. The first few days he was wobbly but he is really walking well now. We even took his cast off because it had gotten really dirty and we also wanted to taken him swimming and he is still walking fine. He definitely will need more casting at home because he is still walking on the side of his foot and I think that is why he falls down so often.

The girls are having a GREAT time. Neve has two little friends her age in our travel group and they get on soooo well. We all had dinner last night and ice-cream afterwards. Jemma has blown us away. She has taken to Oliver so well! Thank you for praying for her because she has been amazing. God is so good to take care of every detail. She has not acted jealous about me carrying him everywhere and with all the attention he gets. She says she loves China very much but doesn't want to go outside because it stinks. She is LOVING the food though. She eats steamed buns and dumplings everyday and just loves every ounce of Chinese food. Neve, not so much. She walks into a restaurant and gags. She pretty much eats white rice for lunch and dinner. She loves the touring though.

Oliver is doing amazingly well too. You'd never think he has only been with us for a week. He is almost always happy except for when he is tired or hungry. He does have a small little hitting problem but has already gotten better with it. He was hitting anyone who didn't do what he wanted but we have been teaching him about gentle hands and he has even stopped himself from hitting a few times, then done a gentle hand on us and then raise his hands and said "YAAAAAY". He is super smart. He has learned where his nose is. If we tell him to close his eyes he squeezes them shut. He has also seen me shrug my shoulders so now he looks at me and shrugs his shoulders with this questioning look on his face. I want to eat him he is so cute! I cannot wait for him to meet his brothers! They are going to looooooove him!

We are waiting for him to wake up and then we are going to go swimming and then head to Shaiman Island to pick up laundry and walk around.

Cutest feet before the cast came off..

This is the look I see 100 times day when he runs up and hugs my legs and says "Bao bao". It means hug in Chinese but he says this when he wants me to pick him up.

We visited a baby home in Fujian. We got to love on babies that were there waiting for surgeries and then waiting for their families. Oh my goodness! They were precious!!! Neve found one baby that she fell in love with. They asked us not to take any pictures of the babies or inside the home but allowed us to take this one picture of Neve and her new baby! Isn't he darling?
