May 24th

Well we are finally over the flight, Savannah did not sleep more than 20 minutes the whole flight (13.5 hours). Today she is still getting over a cold, Dave and I both have this now and our son Karl. The sleeping is not going well right now, she is waking every night around midnight and cries for half hour none stop until rocked back to sleep. Our days are very busy, she loves to shop and play with ther brothers. Today she managed to walk with a walker. Savannah is doing something different every day, she immitates you. There is still no routine set at home for her it will take sometime. Everyone says she is small, but very bright and quick with everything, I would say in less than 2 months she will be walking. She hates heinz food, but loves anything we eat. The boys are so good with her, she loves to laugh along with them. Thursday is Ross's prom night hope to grab so photos. I must admit I don't miss the food one bit in China. Savannah has her fist doctors appointment June 5th, and yesterday I managed to get her OHIP card, next step is applying for citizenship for all four of us, I will do this next week. As far as the dog, well it is taking sometime, she is a little jealous, (the dog that is), Savannah continues to hit her on the head. For the next group going my advice is get all the sleep you can trust me, the neds in China are like concrete and it is so uncomfortable. As for the medication, I would recommend baby Tylenol it works for the babies, most of our babies had colds, and coughs its expected due to the heat and the air conditioning in the hotel rooms. We are celebrating her first birthday next month I hope to download more photos soon.
