Brooklyn Emilia Stoltzfus

On Wednesday we were scheduled to do a tour of the Golden Temple in Kunming to learn about the history of Kunming. We were pretty tired from the long day before at the orphanage so we rested all morning and headed out at 1:30 for our tour. It was pretty obvious that NONE of us were interested in anything but Brooklyn. Its safe to say we all are SMITTEN by her. We didn't follow the tour guide at all. haha. We did take lots of pictures but took lots of pictures of HER and the sights,HER sitting down with the boys, HER standing with Dan. It was all about HER...So I thought I might as well share a few things we have learned about her the last few days and name this entry after her ;-)

*She sleeps really well
*She eats really well
*She is super smart and figures out how to turn toys on once after watching me
*She loves to be on the move and wanted to do the stairs over and over again whereever we were. She points to her stroller in our room when she wants to go somewhere
*She loves to throw toys at Daniels head (it makes her laugh really loud)
*She is very affectionate, she motioned to give Dan and I a kiss for the first time
*She smiles but tries to press her tiny lips together so we don't see
*She loves being around other kids


Just a few things we have learned about her so far. We ate dinner with another family we have grown close to at a restaurant called Bluebird. We sure wished they lived closer. Its clear Brooklyn and Lucy are pretty fond of eachother after looking at eachother during dinner. I had something that resembled a tostada ;-) I am craving some serious Mexican food!


Love,
