Right then and there, Sarah and I had officially in the eyes of the USA become the parents of a beautiful little one named Rebecca Catherine Jiayi Battle.
...
Anyway, back to Becca!She will eat just about anything you give her!She's an eating machine!Her profile said that most issues with her can be solved with food.They are so right!She is such a good and healthy eater!Thank God for that!
...
Below is a photo of Becca in her "ready to eat" pose at the Banana Leaf!:
Here she is eating Cheerios with chopsticks!:
Becca loves to eat Cheerios!Here is Becca smiling for the camera!:
...
We had a great time buying clothes for Becca and some other great souvenirs!
...
One thing about Becca that you'll notice right away: she loves people and people love her!Life for her is just one big fun time!May she always have a life full of the Joy of the Lord!We can't wait for this coming Sunday when we can take her to church for her first service at The Lord's Glory Church!We also cannot wait for her to meet her grandparents!
Blessings to all who have written us!Wow!
...
Becca loved the Mac and Cheese!This kid can eat!For the first time in Becca's history with us, she actually refused food this morning at breakfast!This was a first!We wondered when she would get full, and today, for the first time she did!She is such a joy to have as a child, and is a very happy baby and a healthy eater!Thank God for this!
...
Becca goes to the Folk Art Museum in Guangzhou!
...
Becca says: "My, museums are so boring.
...
I filled out lots of paperwork for the adoption for about four hours, while Sarah and Rebecca played for hours on end, and had some mother-daughter bonding time.
...
Something really special that happened for me, Daddy or in Chinese as Rebecca calls me, "Baba," happened this evening.I was playing with her and she grabbed my finger and held on tight for quite a long time while she played.She then looked up and gave me the biggest smile which I captured on film.
...
There is also a McDonald's in the complex, where Rebecca enjoyed her first Happy Meal.Our room here is very spacious with lots of room for baby to run!
Pictures of room tomorrow!
One prayer request: Pray for an easy doctor's appointment for Rebecca as she goes for the customary routine checkup, before being allowed to leave China with us to the USA.
...
Rebecca had such a good time!She blew out the candles on the cake, had cake for the first time, and the first birthday gift she got was a bunch of baby barettes for her hair and toys!
...
Rebecca was admired by many of the local townspeople!You can see her below interacting with a little boy there at the park.People came up to us and asked to have their picture made with her.I think she enjoyed it very much, and I know we did!Any chance we get to show her off is a good one!
...
We did do something different today though, we took Becca out in our rented stroller thorugh the streets of downtown Wuhan for a walk.She slept the whole time! (I wonder why?? ) We did get one thumbs up from a grandma concerning the way she was dressed.
...
All I think about is Becca, Becca, Becca!
...
Rebecca Catherine Jiayi Battle in Hubei here we come!
...
Happy Birthday, Rebecca!
...
Happy Birthday, Rebecca!
...
In our case, we bought some gifts for Rebecca, and so that they will remain surprising, we will not give them away here in detail!
...
Only 2 more days, Rebecca, and we gotcha forever!
...
To Bethany Dena: we can't thank you enough for the beautiful banner you made for Rebecca & for the beautiful song in Latin that you sang to us Tuesday before we left!
...
Rebecca will be surrounded by people who already love her, though they have not even seen her yet!
...
Thank you for following along with us on our China journey to Rebecca!
