Preparing for the Consulate Appointment

 Lia's medical appointment went well.  It was a good thing that we went to the clinic so early, since it did get very busy later on.  The babies were weighed and examined.  Lia was not too crazy about her check up, but that's understandable.  As we were leaving, we saw a lot of adoptive families coming in.  It was such an exciting place to be. You could just feel the excitement.  You could see the apprehensiveness of the children, in comparison with the excitement of the parents. 
Keith met with our guide this afternoon for a paperwork party.  All the documents have been checked and are ready for the Consulate appointment on Monday.  The party went for an hour and a half. 
Lia has got  4 teeth on top, and 2 on the bottom.  I could have sworn that she only had 2 on top when we met her.  When she smiles, she sticks her tongue out.  It is such a sweet smile.  We've been fortunate that she sleeps throughout the night.  She's been very quiet, but more of her personality is coming out each day. 
She loves music.  My singing is breaking the language barrier, and helping with bonding.  Her favorite song is "I was walking in the park one day, in the merry month of May".  We also listen to Chinese children songs on my I Touch.   I have no idea what those kids are singing, but Lia sure is happy about it! 
Tomorrow morning we are going to a museum and then we have time on our own. We're looking forward to some free time.
