We are the luckiest family in the world! We have our precious little Kaelin Bing Wen home for Christmas! She is truly the best gift of all! Merry Christmas!
Love,

our little snow angel!

We got 14 inches of snow today! Our little southern China girl wasn't quite sure what to think of all this white stuff! She was used to sunshine and palm trees where she used to live so this is a big change for her! We only stayed out for a few minutes because it was too cold and the sun wasn't shining! She really enjoyed her warm bottle of milk after her romp in the snow!

breakfast!

Bing Bing is going thruough a phase where she won't let me feed her and refuses to wear a bib! So this morning I decided to throw caution to the wind and let her do it herself! Although you can't tell from the disastrous mess, she did manage to get some bites in her tummy! Mealtime has never been more fun! I can't wait to see what she does with the spaghetti we are having tonight!

better late than never! birthday pics from Bing's 2nd 1st birthday party last weekend!

The pics are going in the opposite order of how I wanted them to and there is no time to fix so start at the bottom and go up! Bing wasn't quite sure what to think of everything! She was very leary of the giant cupcake and everyone singing to her! After about 5 minutes she had had enough! I have a feeling that Bing will appreciate her birthdays more and more as she gets older!

Today is a very happy Thanksgiving because we finally have our sweet baby girl to celebrate! All of our family is together and it is a beautiful day! Who could ask for more than that?! We are so very thankful for this little bundle of baby goodness we have been blessed with! I will post some pics later! Love, Di

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY BING!

Our sweet girl is 1 year old today! I can't believe it! Time is just flying by since we brought our precious Kaelin Bing Wen home from China! She is doing so many new things! She now has 6 teeth and is saying mama and dada and waving hello and bye-bye! She is also climbing the stairs and getting into all sorts of mischief! The dog's water bowl is still her favorite! She also loves electronic devices, cell phones, tv zappers, and cordless phones! She has toy ones but they don't fool her for one minute, no sirreee! Bing wants the real thing! To celebrate mommy and daddy and her 3 big brothers are taking the birthday girl out to a Chinese restaurant and then having a Winnie the Pooh birthday after! Bing just loves Winnie the Pooh! We are going to have another party for her the Sat after Thanksgiving so that her big sisters, Marie, and Sarah can celebrate Bing's bday too! You can never have too much birthday! I will post more pics tonight!

my little snuggle bunny!

Bing Bing loves to be outside! It does not matter what the weather is, we have to go out everyday! I just had to post this pic because it is way too cute! She fell asleep in her stroller on our walk today, heck who wouldn't it looks so darn comfy! I wish she would fall asleep in her crib like this! Dream on! ha ha!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I love Halloween! It is so much fun, especially since we have our little Panda this year! How cute is she? Tooooo cute! We are all ready for trick or treat! BOO!

Wordless Wednesday!

Home 1 Month!

I can't believe Bing has been home for one whole month! What a month it has been, too! Bing is the perfect fit for our family! She is such an amazing baby! Everyday she does something new! She is now standing up without the help of furniture! It won't be long at all before she is taking her first steps! She is so cute when she stands up, she gets the most pleased look on her face! She is like a little ray of sunshine every single day! You absolutely can't not smile when you are around her! She is a dream come true! You can just tell that she is so happy to finally be home! Kaelin Bing loves home and she looooves her brothers and sisters so much! Did I mention she loves her mommy and daddy, too! It is so remarkable how quickly she catches on to things! Right now she is learning her body parts and so far she knows her belly button and her nose and eyes! She is such a little smarty! Oh and she is officially an American citizen now! She got her Certificate of Citizenship along with a letter from President Bush welcoming her to the U.S. in the mail today! Congratulations Kaelin Bing Wen!

The Main Attraction!

What can I say? I am a crappy blogger! In all my defense I can only say that it is because of Baby Bing! She is, after all, my top priority now! To sum her up, she is a dream come true! Our family has been so blessed with this beautiful little angel! Kaelin Bing is really getting around now, too! Her favorite new thing is to play in the dog's water bowl! I tell her "no no" but it is so hard not to laugh because she is just so darn cute! Another new thing is she is standing alone! Only for a few seconds, but she is doing it! She also knows pat a cake and how big is Kaelin (she puts both chubby little arms above her head) so adorable! Kaelin is now sleeping better and we are getting at least 6-7 hrs out of her each night and a couple of short naps during the day! Her favorite thing, besides her bottle, is to be outside! We have had a couple of beautiful days here and she loving it! Even when it is cold, I bundle her up and we go out anyway! One thing she doesn't like is grass! She is hilarious when you sit her in it, she tries to lift up her feet and she makes her funny face! I took her for her first doctor visit and she is a healthy girl! Too bad she had to get 3 yucky shots that made her sick for two days! She is better now, thank God! Those stupid shots are so scary, but necessary, I guess! Sometimes I wonder if it isn't just a big money making scheme by the pharmaceutical companies! (Don't forget this is my blog so I can say what I want, so don't flame me on that!)Bing is up from her nap now so bye for now! Enjoy the pics!
