Medical Exam

Today was Ali’s medical exam and visa photos. Our group walked about 5 blocks to the photo place. It was quick and Ali’s picture was cute as could be, she is such a little ham! Next we went to the Medical center, which was next door. They checked all the babies out, like a 10 minute oil change. Ali is 27 inches and 17.7 pounds. I think we put 2 pounds on her since we’ve had her! The rest of the day was ours so we spent it exploring all the little shops surrounding the hotel. We are actually on an island, it’s really neat because our room faces the river and the view is great. Across the river at night, it’s like a Disney resort, lights and lasers, boat tours, it’s really quite a site. The hotels look like huge movie screens, lighting up with designs and advertisements. Tomorrow we are going to a place notorious for inexpensive pearls and jade, should be fun. Ali is cutting another tooth, so tonight she’s running a little fever, but still has got her little clown personality in full swing. She and I have a new game that she loves, playing airplane, she kicks and screams and laughs hysterically, she is such a great baby and has really bonded well with all of us. Jo-Ann wants to take home a baby or two, watch out Jerry! This town is great for shopping so all the ladies of the group are in heaven. Tomorrow we will have pics, we haven’t really taken any here yet.
