Almost at the 11 month mark!

It'll be 11 months on Saturday since we brought Robyn in our lives. Can't believe it's almost a year! We are going to celebrate by going to the Princess Lunch at the Norway pavilion at EPCOT. We think she'll love seeing the princesses and I've heard the food is good. We are going Saturday, Sept 3rd. Gotcha day anniv is Aug 30th! Feels like yesterday and then it feels like forever ago especially when you look at pictures of her last year compared to today. I've been working on our scrapbook for those two weeks and she was soo little and oh my skinny!

Today we had our 2yr checkup. I found some Chinese growth charts and after looking at it with our Dr. (who we love) she's right down the middle for an Asian girl! how cool is that.. she's.. average? huh.. there is nothing average about this girl. I get countless compliments on how adorable or cute she is when we are out. And ya know she is very well behaved.. for the most part. I mean come on she's two! and she's allowed to be two! She's napping right now. She had her first shots today and they said it might make her tired. And she had a nightmare last night so guess she needs the sleep! We always let sleeping babies stay sleepin!

We are done for now with swimming lessons! Our teacher said there's not much else to teach her right now. She's SOOOO close to swiming without us having a hand on her. She LOVES the water and loves to jump in. For our last class we went to the timeshare that Ms Kelly (teacher) has. They have a nifty pool with a kind of lazy river. Robyn loved floating and swimming all through it. She really liked the gradual entrance to the pool.. it was very shallow and she was showing off to all the other parents around. Talk about one VERY proud parent! I was beaming! They all were so impressed with her swimming and the joy she had while she was playing in the water! It took lots of cajoling to get her out of the pool and heading home. It did help that she kept telling me she was hungry.. then would jump in again! Then I'd tell her well if you want to eat we have to go.. well hunger finally won out!

This Saturday we are meeting with the other Chinese adoptive families in town. It's at a Splash park and it looks sooo cool online! Dr Philips Splash pad if you google it. Great looking! Will make sure to take LOTS of pictures!

Ut oh she's up.. I can hear her stirring.. so I'm gonna quickly get these photos uploaded!

Zai Jian!
