Day 4

A quick visit to the police station to sign more papers and then a trip to Carrefour (grocery store) to pick up supplies. All easy and great except for being stuck in massive traffic jams with Louisa crying her eyes out. Apparently the car doesn't have to be moving for her to hate it. I vow to never get in a car with her again.

At Carrefour we bought Chinese formula and rice cereal. I had brought stuff from home, but wasn't sure if it would last the entire 2 weeks. Plus, we had been told to gradually transition the babies from Chinese to US food as long as we could find good quality Chinese options.

I decided to try out a bottle that was 50% brought from home ingredients and 50% Chinese all put in a Chinese XL bottle with no modifications to the nipple. Jack pot! The bottle was downed without a drop spilled. Clearly the girl knows what she likes! Meanwhile, she is continuing to open up and try new things. Her favorite thing so far is riding in the baby carrier. She likes the front, but she goes wild for being on my back -- kicking and squealing. It is super fun and so much easier than carrying her.
