A cute picture




Mom and baby, both doing some stretching this morning. Jada really likes to do this pose, and will often look through her legs at us and smile! This morning when Jada was doing it, Chelsey decided to do it too and smile at Jada. Jada then crawled under Chelsey's legs and did it with mom!

We just got her weighed (on a fruit/veggie scale in the little store downstairs) and she is 9Kg, or 19.8 Lbs. She is growing, but still is a small baby.

one step closer

I got an email from the embassy today :)! They want me to come in for an interview next week, so this means that this job is progressing to closer to a possiblity. Chelsey thinks that there is a good chance that I will get the job, having made it this far. The interview is going to take about 40 minutes, so it is a LONG interview! But here is hoping!
As far as this changes our plans, we don't really know yet. If we get this job, then the next Innes baby will also probably be born in China. We have a friend who lives in our complex who is a Canadian Chinese, and has also had a baby here. So she will introduce a hospital to us, (A Chinese hospital, it fits in our price range) and she would also be able to help us know a little more about our options here.
Please keep us in your prayers, and your fingers crossed! we will let you know as we find out!

Jada makes another huge milestone

Our little girl walked today. Mike and I were both right there to see it. She took 4-5 steps with hands waving over her head. We made a big deal about it and I guess that and the invigoration of having just took her first steps got her super hyper. She kept walking short distances over and over again and going as fast as she could to start over again. She was just laughing and screeching with delight. We wish we had got it on video because it was so cute. I don't think I have ever seen her this thrilled about something.
