K joins our family

But it was really bumpy at first. When all of us 7 families reached the Civil Affairs office we could see through a door all the nannies with the babies. One nanny holding the hands of K and walking her around. I knew her right away, those cheeks and hair. She wasn't afraid of us as we knelt down to say hello. We offered her a toy, she checked it out and threw it down. She was staring at us but we were staring right back. Suddenly they start saying in Chinese and our guide says in English, "we're starting". This is when the chaos begins. One by one a family is called up and baby is handed off. It is fast and hard to get pictures. Everyone seems to be doing fine and then we are called. K is okay until she is handed to me and then the crying starts. Not soft whimpers, this little one can really throw a temper tantrum. She was constantly looking around for her nanny, broke my heart. Our guide suggested we walk outside. For about a half hour she didn't let up until we were on the bus and started singing to her. She hasn't fussed since but scans the Asian woman of the hotel and I know she is looking for someone familiar. Otherwise she is a happy baby, loves to play with stacking cups and peek-a-boo. She has slept through the night and is still sleeping.
