We got to sleep in this morning because we didn't have to leave for Chinese church until 10:30 am. Sydney regressed a little bit this morning, but, nowhere near what she has. Breakfast was awesome again this morning. It is by far the best meal of the day except when we are able to get Western food like last night. A group of us went to Lucy's and pigged out! Melissa had cheese quesadillas with onion rings, I had enchiladas that were more like burritos, and Evan and Sydney shared broccoli and chicken fettucine with cream sauce and a baked potato. Melissa and Sydney shared a chocolate shake that was so good!
We went to Shamian Christian Church and heard a sermon that quite didn't translate into english very well. Some of it, along with the sing-a-long, was funny at times.
Afterwards, we took in another x-c-lent Chinese meal (gak) which consisted of pork, beef and veggies, and then off for more shopping. Sydney has been having such a good day. In fact, a few of the store owners commented on what a happy baby she is. That was one of the best sentences we've heard in a long time!
Sydney took a short nap on the bus back to the hotel and now is wide awake. She is laying in her crib babbling a little. This is a first.
Later this eveing, all of our group will be taking taxis to a Western resturant named "Danny's Place" and celebrate the "4th" eventhough it is only the 3rd back home.

This is Kim, but I just had to comment about the picture of Sydey sitting on the couch with the crying babies. You need to enter that in a contest. She is looking at them like they are CRAZY and the one on the end is only interested in the bottle!! Too funny!
LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture of Sydney smiling!!!! What an adorable face!!! I am so glad to hear that the sadness is starting to fade away. She is going to be a firecracker LOL!!!
LOVE that smile on Sydney's face! She looks like she is really coming around! Congratulations & Happy 4th of July (which happens to also be our little China girl's birthday!)!!!
Hi Melissa! This is Jeanie :) I have been reading your blog nearly everyday....what a journey! I love this last picture of Sydney in the Old Navy flag t-shirt. What a happy girl!! Evan looks so wonderfully happy in the big sister role, and I can tell they are going to become inseparable very soon - if they haven't already! Enjoy the rest of your time there, and keep the pictures coming!! Love, Jeanie :)
