china trip: medical and visa application

This morning we were at the medical center at 8:30am. Lilah had a mini physical, which is necessary for us to obtain a Visa to enter Canada. After the physical we were driven to the Canadian Embassy to apply for her Visa. We didn't do a whole lot more today, just relaxed and shopped for diapers, wipes, water and formula. We also found an American eatery at a local (very fancy) mall. It was very delicious!

Lilah is doing wonderful. I really thought the change in hotels would have been a bigger issue, but no, she's just going with the flow. She is a very special girl and we enjoy seeing our little 'flower' blossom a little more each day. She has a very outgoing little personality and loves to have fun.

My oh my, I love that smile. It's the best part of my day.
