We had another beautiful day with Mia visiting another palace. She just comes more alive everyday! We have a decent routine down with her. Mia begs for things and Mommy & Daddy run around like fools taking care of her every whim. LOL! Just kidding. She only takes a bottle when she wakes and before bed. She eats her 3 meals per day like a champ with a couple snacks in between. She only cries when we get on the tour bus for a few minutes but calms quickly.
We played in the playroom for quite a while with a couple of other families and her buddy Gia. She loves to run while she holds your fingers and cracks up the whole time she's doing it. It's easy to put her to bed after that. She lets us know when she's thirsty even in her sleep. She makes the "aaah" refreshing sound a few times and then we give her water. She smiles, drinks and goes back to sleep. She is sleeping so much better. Tonight she went to Daddy to fall asleep! Yes, I'm a little jealous but I'll have her all to myself for a while!
We received her passport today! Tonight is our last night in Nanchang, we fly to Guangzhou tomorrow afternoon. It will be her first short plane ride. It's bittersweet leaving Nanchang. Although this isn't where she was born, we're very close and probably will not be back here for a long time. I try to focus on the wonderful life she has ahead but I still feel sad for her birth mom and foster mom that will probably always wonder about her. We pray for them every night!
Here is another day with Mia.

Close to the end of this video, Mia sees her Dada walk into our room and then he comes back out to her. Her smile can light up a room!
