Now that we have our beautiful Kaylee, it is time to close the adoption blog and continue our family story on our daily blog. <br /><br />I will now focus my energies on updating the "Blogging with the Bleekers" site and uploading some of my bazillion photos. I hope you will continue to follow us and pop in from time to time. Feel free to continue to comment as the mood strikes you. We enjoy hearing from you.<br /><br />You can visit our daily blog at http://tntbleekerdaily.blogspot.com/ or by clicking <a href="http://tntbleekerdaily.blogspot.com/">here</a>.

It has changed tremendously and it's wonderful. Kaylee has stolen my heart and we're so happy to have her in our family. And to those of you who tell me how lucky Kaylee is, I say no, I am the lucky one and very blessed.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggyFRZz3BvKh9ZtUquUXyO73Egeyye-PBbwDnUpQkNeIItW2nXJ-WWzPjdsI9bjapcbw_KH0CepW0BwP2bdYeujB8LHhd0LheJejkU5Um0IhOGhBNVWUFrJf-feD4u35e552YoUQ/s1600-h/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+III+-+008.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggyFRZz3BvKh9ZtUquUXyO73Egeyye-PBbwDnUpQkNeIItW2nXJ-WWzPjdsI9bjapcbw_KH0CepW0BwP2bdYeujB8LHhd0LheJejkU5Um0IhOGhBNVWUFrJf-feD4u35e552YoUQ/s200/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+III+-+008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5024434334589012946" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwLYdXqlwRPVhaequjOMNuZW2eHTClHrb6_KtK0XsemzXcS2a94nBj_gUzmtiRJCKhggNxGdVMtTQuxmclo2rlCz2a-Lzc1BffuQbmJKKA_uNPNlLbqLwXQCqUdhCnHMJX2RhYyQ/s1600-h/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+IV+-+011.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwLYdXqlwRPVhaequjOMNuZW2eHTClHrb6_KtK0XsemzXcS2a94nBj_gUzmtiRJCKhggNxGdVMtTQuxmclo2rlCz2a-Lzc1BffuQbmJKKA_uNPNlLbqLwXQCqUdhCnHMJX2RhYyQ/s200/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+IV+-+011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5024435880777239538" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggb1fgKa1e8Hx7INsCGdn_4vL1UAK5pCqEKBpqRH5T0mcIpLZVRl70rZmMCRuDBzlxkz6eV6Lq2ra5_-Ru_p2O5CY200f4ABzqlJt3fX-kCZtcLymruXSewUnMitvIUWMFWt7acA/s1600-h/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+IV+-+009.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggb1fgKa1e8Hx7INsCGdn_4vL1UAK5pCqEKBpqRH5T0mcIpLZVRl70rZmMCRuDBzlxkz6eV6Lq2ra5_-Ru_p2O5CY200f4ABzqlJt3fX-kCZtcLymruXSewUnMitvIUWMFWt7acA/s200/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+IV+-+009.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5024435090503257058" border="0" /></a>Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745188.post-45058687414316754022007-01-26T10:49:00.000-08:002007-01-26T12:04:29.558-08:00Shoutout to Miss D'arcyThis post is dedicated to Miss D'arcy, the President of my fan club.

We gave her pediatrician her Taiwanese vaccination records earlier and she said they looked in order. If they were accurate, Kaylee would only need 2 shots. The doctor wanted to draw some blood to test for anitbodies to be certain however. Unfortunately, Kaylee's veins went into hiding and did not cooperate enough for blood samples. I hated to see her so upset. The nurse, Troy and I sang several verses of "The Wheels on the Bus" to try to calm her down. After poking Kaylee several times on each arm, the doctor decided to just give her the 2 shots we knew she hadn't had and try to test for the others at her next appointment.<br /><br />On the statistic side, Kaylee weighed in at 15 lbs. 12 oz, which puts her at the 25th percentile in weight. She is 26 3/4", which puts her at the 75th percentile for height. So she's skinny and tall. Her head circumference is at the 50th percentile. Overall she's doing great. We just need to work on getting her to sit up on her own.<br /><br />Here are some shots from her day before the visit. She enjoyed a little bit of Baby Einstein's Noah and also practicing sitting up.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOq4fR_5hAhvD6za0kRtHyfuaJMd4IAta8dF5y8JY_wmrpLbaU4VxKQGQuk08-8bMQoq8kRVinczGMlYdsKNIQ6i8TScG0tcQi0cGjmN9YEXriOznkB55fRlxHSQ1TBLLnjYIFEg/s1600-h/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+II+-+010.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOq4fR_5hAhvD6za0kRtHyfuaJMd4IAta8dF5y8JY_wmrpLbaU4VxKQGQuk08-8bMQoq8kRVinczGMlYdsKNIQ6i8TScG0tcQi0cGjmN9YEXriOznkB55fRlxHSQ1TBLLnjYIFEg/s200/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+II+-+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023764719122795426" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2U_BD2meNikB7CvmVF5XcMjeAkNzNGDWb2gvt1XNxojgk4wb7mBK09bqgdAj6ywqKoGF7kQQTQIDFa2BZJsfsumgbomNyQGfQ0CBseTiHhryThquNiV5ZzgGbQX8m-6ZTHVjxVA/s1600-h/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+-+004.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2U_BD2meNikB7CvmVF5XcMjeAkNzNGDWb2gvt1XNxojgk4wb7mBK09bqgdAj6ywqKoGF7kQQTQIDFa2BZJsfsumgbomNyQGfQ0CBseTiHhryThquNiV5ZzgGbQX8m-6ZTHVjxVA/s200/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+-+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023763052675484562" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSQBgNDNmpPIUMDS0HLHzO_X80IjFI8FoDmPmd0rhH_l5_kiHMrdt3tR7xDNwwqVoXCKJG15QdLoAX0tbYisdexdJQ1khMOY9IepHHG3YXQSg3auuKKYI63gAcUw6Dd0mnXOLLuA/s1600-h/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+II+-+002.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSQBgNDNmpPIUMDS0HLHzO_X80IjFI8FoDmPmd0rhH_l5_kiHMrdt3tR7xDNwwqVoXCKJG15QdLoAX0tbYisdexdJQ1khMOY9IepHHG3YXQSg3auuKKYI63gAcUw6Dd0mnXOLLuA/s200/Home+-+January+2007+-+Misc+Home+Shots+II+-+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5023760574479354754" border="0" /></a>Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745188.post-85480509457716621772007-01-23T15:57:00.000-08:002007-01-23T16:07:16.254-08:00Food TestingWe've begun testing Kaylee on various baby foods. 4 days on each new item as listed by her pediatrician. She hated applesauce. Next up was sweet potatoes which she loved...but they didn't love her. She broke out head to toe in hives and ended up throwing up all over Troy Sunday night.<br /><br />We're now on to carrots. In case the picture below is not a good indication, she is REALLY into her carrots. So far no allergies there.

Grandma got all the babies baby gap outfits and they looked so cute together.<br /><br />We had a wonderful time playing with cousins and seeing family again. Kaylee got lots of one-on-one time with Grandma and also a great deal of love from cousin Ana Julia.

We had a welcome baby sign, beautiful pink roses and a bottle of wine waiting for us. The next few days are a blur as we got to meet a few people and also tried to work through this jetlag. Troy went back to work on Monday, so it's been Kaylee and I together everyday.<br /><br />The time difference is really wreaking havoc on Kaylee's clock. She wants to sleep most of the day and party all night. We've been trying to wake her throughout the day, but they are very deep naps and also make for a cranky Kaylee when you do manage to wake her. She then wakes about 1 or 2 am each night for a few hours.<br /><br />Troy and I cannot manage to stay awake past 8 pm. He's passing out with Kaylee usually much earlier. We'll work through it. In the meantime, we are having a wonderful time with Kaylee and love her so much.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745188.post-43420067166388806282007-01-16T08:19:00.000-08:002007-01-17T04:18:43.715-08:00Back in the USA<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6IHwLGoKZNe9Srj2vrvVEgkkQ2LtkoI0h7dKq5rQkNrVDG4xjSyy9E9r_keN3zodhK4yPYMcQA7xe8NwxE_-ewpjI9daYnwdqLfTQ5_kBpqFXwBwPIHNDY9alcBCZcx6l-BF82g/s1600-h/Kaylee+-+Home+-+Jan+2007+-+015.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6IHwLGoKZNe9Srj2vrvVEgkkQ2LtkoI0h7dKq5rQkNrVDG4xjSyy9E9r_keN3zodhK4yPYMcQA7xe8NwxE_-ewpjI9daYnwdqLfTQ5_kBpqFXwBwPIHNDY9alcBCZcx6l-BF82g/s200/Kaylee+-+Home+-+Jan+2007+-+015.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020972574091100706" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCXE0hX-apuMxTiq3RhMY5oppQBGYJ46zIXrXK_tMIQnPjAs0sa3U2ydraONY3uMFaOdieEIR6cxsylqdq8fjQjdSGipQ3GcDxtsjjZNeAY-S5pQ4RkMIdJNBo2aWtZTZR5COf5g/s1600-h/Kaylee+-+Home+-+Jan+2007+-+013.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCXE0hX-apuMxTiq3RhMY5oppQBGYJ46zIXrXK_tMIQnPjAs0sa3U2ydraONY3uMFaOdieEIR6cxsylqdq8fjQjdSGipQ3GcDxtsjjZNeAY-S5pQ4RkMIdJNBo2aWtZTZR5COf5g/s200/Kaylee+-+Home+-+Jan+2007+-+013.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020971740867445266" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOa3ppitTS9oR7ln2XV4FrYA5UbUB592PwlVc6fPdVCnIqA53c9rR3-BZdVscC05WiMxZdqD3eMMJJXzvuL1dNVvTBYyNprh2BFGQzU_xbu3Pw9hdDTkJcAvg_fKU4vfphge9qA/s1600-h/Kaylee+-+Home+-+Jan+2007+-+010.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWOa3ppitTS9oR7ln2XV4FrYA5UbUB592PwlVc6fPdVCnIqA53c9rR3-BZdVscC05WiMxZdqD3eMMJJXzvuL1dNVvTBYyNprh2BFGQzU_xbu3Pw9hdDTkJcAvg_fKU4vfphge9qA/s200/Kaylee+-+Home+-+Jan+2007+-+010.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5020664723720225266" border="0" /></a><br />After 26 hours of travel, we made it to Tampa and got to meet some Aunts, Uncles & Cousins.

A good part of the day was spent packing up all our stuff. We went out for a walk and were surprised to hear someone call my name. Now I know there can't be too many Tammys in Taiwan. I looked around and here came someone walking her bike. It was Susan from my Adopt Taiwan Yahoo Group who had been following our blog. It was great to meet her and she directed us to a great Asian clothing store and a very good vegetarian restaurant for lunch.<br /><br />We went and got Troy and I authentic shirts and the ladies at the store loved her and had to hold her while we were trying on clothes.<br /><br />We had dinner at Fang's and Kaylee had her first high chair experience. She was too small to sit on her own, so they padded it pretty good with several table cloths. While walking a lady ran up to us and gave us her business card and wanted to put Kaylee in Baby TV Commercials - a star is born!<br /><br />After that, we were on our way and headed to America. Good bye, Taiwan, we enjoyed our visit and hope to be back again.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745188.post-26120366835048544372007-01-11T07:14:00.000-08:002007-01-11T07:22:40.716-08:00Snack Adventure<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFDPNrC1R4uj7oy7QY3Bheib4sda0SyMEEgc6YI7TMr3kfgYXR335b9eSjahW0tsx2wOS8b8xuCJY68jEH_YCM6ZNUzWCy_KID-Dc-Fwa5z58srH8nECQUDmFtoU91nv_WXG1xA/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+012.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYFDPNrC1R4uj7oy7QY3Bheib4sda0SyMEEgc6YI7TMr3kfgYXR335b9eSjahW0tsx2wOS8b8xuCJY68jEH_YCM6ZNUzWCy_KID-Dc-Fwa5z58srH8nECQUDmFtoU91nv_WXG1xA/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+012.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018793389289488786" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbxaxXiRAQ8QMfbDsw680wFDlnj2VwwLcvtIIYuTTUwNmgqC_n0ZUksp_BR1FAn0VzeOFUME5RAVB_-RCV8T7rPIDl5UL984K76Pyn8XFOKVLthila6U24qhuZQZKNtVxJb7y6xw/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+011.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbxaxXiRAQ8QMfbDsw680wFDlnj2VwwLcvtIIYuTTUwNmgqC_n0ZUksp_BR1FAn0VzeOFUME5RAVB_-RCV8T7rPIDl5UL984K76Pyn8XFOKVLthila6U24qhuZQZKNtVxJb7y6xw/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018792908253151618" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We walked around a bit this afternoon checking out some of the side streets near our hotel. We saw a line standing outside one of the open-air restaurants and stopped to see what was so popular. There were several employees making dough in the back and a husband & wife team taking turns steaming/frying the dough and cutting it up. We talked with the woman behind us who helped us out a bit. She told us what this delicious snack is called, but we forgot it.<br /><br />They were very inexpensive and, even though we ordered one to share, way too big. Tasted really great.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745188.post-45359326025810324822007-01-11T06:42:00.000-08:002007-01-11T07:12:02.233-08:00Happiness<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw4QwAQ8xD2H_032ixVkaM6dKqmdttA_5MeXbtFcWT5qDr1_CjVEX9o757CxZTSzgjysXVFkMhVJiQ6yPgqAdvtKSG1cuC0nCxQJdDlu4A376t60h8hEkAvf4mG0cMx72aJSlt2A/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+017.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgw4QwAQ8xD2H_032ixVkaM6dKqmdttA_5MeXbtFcWT5qDr1_CjVEX9o757CxZTSzgjysXVFkMhVJiQ6yPgqAdvtKSG1cuC0nCxQJdDlu4A376t60h8hEkAvf4mG0cMx72aJSlt2A/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+017.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018790477301662066" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIzL0ZWMBTXe5QCYcmkfH6vV67zNaG8iXTR_njBC4caf-EF8lmX7j0lPc6vekRXgQ_oq9-XDIkyiB4-Kq7gOCvLVVQndsGMqzLFSGCjTMKHeQ49p6AE_9klOzeWIJszZZGiMHFlA/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+034.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIzL0ZWMBTXe5QCYcmkfH6vV67zNaG8iXTR_njBC4caf-EF8lmX7j0lPc6vekRXgQ_oq9-XDIkyiB4-Kq7gOCvLVVQndsGMqzLFSGCjTMKHeQ49p6AE_9klOzeWIJszZZGiMHFlA/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+034.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018789523818922338" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUNORrmQ_wn0DwzQBRKPCZcy_zI1-mXG1zQ7oCpNBh8sWhHdatSZ3-o8nhw5VJKKqHmovAj7HrQbDpUK4QBAZXi9E9i8dNMgFcBZz-cad6PtIqwHsjCFZk3LtvcUTpn5Z7vRyIbQ/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+008.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUNORrmQ_wn0DwzQBRKPCZcy_zI1-mXG1zQ7oCpNBh8sWhHdatSZ3-o8nhw5VJKKqHmovAj7HrQbDpUK4QBAZXi9E9i8dNMgFcBZz-cad6PtIqwHsjCFZk3LtvcUTpn5Z7vRyIbQ/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018787165881876786" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-BExzg5G9GEMh2h1Loa-tZQILMZi2FlOlVGFZwAynTwqvu9AiERVIZc8uzTj1mnGL7OhurlYu7KRFSvI7AYFYS05qYg4hAGSRYsMcJ0RaIk2_NJbdR7pPoJZhYiSinJRUdwVTbA/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+006.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-BExzg5G9GEMh2h1Loa-tZQILMZi2FlOlVGFZwAynTwqvu9AiERVIZc8uzTj1mnGL7OhurlYu7KRFSvI7AYFYS05qYg4hAGSRYsMcJ0RaIk2_NJbdR7pPoJZhYiSinJRUdwVTbA/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018786757859983650" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPbzSfsD4ReefIgWjOvw16MHXxInMQqiOtezmIaQEH_uDGrb4f9pj74kbdBnfAuLCAu3dhnYv1YVWtIBZnxvmvpK4sdqHzCE1kNAKicmZ6r3sSGdr_zztf7A_G0mYsgmtLxadmEg/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Kaylee+Misc+-+006.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPbzSfsD4ReefIgWjOvw16MHXxInMQqiOtezmIaQEH_uDGrb4f9pj74kbdBnfAuLCAu3dhnYv1YVWtIBZnxvmvpK4sdqHzCE1kNAKicmZ6r3sSGdr_zztf7A_G0mYsgmtLxadmEg/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Kaylee+Misc+-+006.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018784451462545666" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkt924Fg6iKq9qxUZ2AYOEiF3ESGRA7hyC4cZuS3pZYcye4i7HfB1hySDTmRSh0idUKFScnBG18HEKVdpvzNKAxJqTvdRMIqaUQMMT5XqRzumTinBvOqbO8DvMrJD0IWJuuuZpFw/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+023.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkt924Fg6iKq9qxUZ2AYOEiF3ESGRA7hyC4cZuS3pZYcye4i7HfB1hySDTmRSh0idUKFScnBG18HEKVdpvzNKAxJqTvdRMIqaUQMMT5XqRzumTinBvOqbO8DvMrJD0IWJuuuZpFw/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+023.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018788054940107074" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT77z1mUdwc-FkgstEq5NhbjqKJy-34pMEZSJGwdz8dJpxT_nI9fQdr33o9cnAXcWP3542p9-cudyoEc0_tjBI5QvE5nGaZ9LgSgcsZdwVio6LFTxnL-9krSY-6v_O9p8p43evHQ/s1600-h/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+003.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT77z1mUdwc-FkgstEq5NhbjqKJy-34pMEZSJGwdz8dJpxT_nI9fQdr33o9cnAXcWP3542p9-cudyoEc0_tjBI5QvE5nGaZ9LgSgcsZdwVio6LFTxnL-9krSY-6v_O9p8p43evHQ/s200/Day+4+-+Jan+11+2007+Misc+-+003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018786044895412498" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Happiness comes from many different things.

In her broken English, we could decipher something about a place by the 7-11. We crossed the street and saw several very authentic looking shanty-type restaurants. The owner spoke no English so I managed to request the chef's choice from an array of meats and all types of side dishes. I had chicken and Troy had pork, complete with several vegetable sides, rice and a coke for a total bill of 190 New Taiwan dollars, which is about 6 bucks. Kaylee was fussing, so I was trying to stand and eat (her teeth have been bothering her - 2 coming in), which is no easy feat with chopsticks. She took pity on me and held Kaylee while I ate. So an inexpensive dinner became even better as it included a babysitter.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745188.post-14519911904311701212007-01-10T13:20:00.000-08:002007-01-10T13:31:22.771-08:00Kaylee's DevelopmentsKaylee is such a beautiful angel. She has very strong legs and loves to kick them. She has great rollover skills and can very quickly roll from back to stomach. She holds herself up and can scootch along pretty quickly. She should be crawling in no time. She also has great grasping skills. I dare you to try and get something (rice cracker in particular) out of her hand. She is very alert and follows your movement intently.<br /><br />She is teething and has her 2 front bottom teeth coming in. Poor baby. We haven't given her anything as we don't know how she'd react and want to wait until our pediatrician can give her a check-up next week. We have had to sooth her and comfort her as best we can and of course give her lots of kisses. She also has VERY sensitive skin and is on hypo-allegenic formula. She has a lot of mosquito bites on her face from her stay at the orphanage and scratched some of them and they became infected. She has some medication for her face, which we apply twice daily, but the trick is to try to keep her from rubbing and scratching her face.<br /><br />Her personality has started to come out and she smiles a lot and almost giggles. I expect to see that more and more once we are home. She hates baths and Troy and I had the most traumatic experience bathing her for the first time last night. It about broke my heart.<br /><br />She doesn't like the rice cereal flavor I brought for her and makes the funniest faces when you try to feed it to her. I've attached one of my favorites.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDCtc4-hIwW-qQF1tPUMjeResjxCVIUgLTZFl5c4XHR3XuqdP9B2pF-LlzLWclV9-IDFUTgdzOF53EOhm5KLTKOwiZWk3q1lhtEKiZ-q2RobQnKnvlCFdAsn14F53DX3uOjyNIQ/s1600-h/Misc+-+Day+3+-+Jan+10+2007+Eating+-+005.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPDCtc4-hIwW-qQF1tPUMjeResjxCVIUgLTZFl5c4XHR3XuqdP9B2pF-LlzLWclV9-IDFUTgdzOF53EOhm5KLTKOwiZWk3q1lhtEKiZ-q2RobQnKnvlCFdAsn14F53DX3uOjyNIQ/s200/Misc+-+Day+3+-+Jan+10+2007+Eating+-+005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018517373216211058" border="0" /></a><br />She is a wonderful traveler and so patient.

I do it for several reasons, one because it's fresh in my mind, I want to capture this most wonderful story for her and also for me to remember every detail and I want to share our great adventure with family and friends.<br /><br />Let me give you an example of our crazy jetlaginess. This morning we awoke with Kaylee fussing and Troy checked his watch - 6 am. Right on time for her first bottle. I fed her, changed her diaper and Troy and I played with her. We were so excited she had slept 8 hours. Troy fell back asleep, which I thought was normal since he has been sick. I decided Kaylee and I would have our first solo adventure and go get our breakfast and told Troy I would go to Subber.<br /><br />Got Kaylee all bundled up and in the baby bjorn carrier (thanks, Terri and Tony, it is WONDERFUL) and headed to the lobby for our breakfast coupons. I couldn't understand why the clerk looked so confused until I realized he was trying to tell me it was only 3 am. Troy had misread his watch and we had been up since 12:30 am. Since Kaylee and I were wide awake, we got some coffee and brought it to the room. (Canned hot coffee - never seen such a thing).<br /><br />So I have taken the time, since I'm wide awake, to update the blog and Kaylee is sleeping again soundly.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745188.post-25637667355027883082007-01-10T12:55:00.000-08:002007-01-10T13:09:17.136-08:00Night Market<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpwtTU1E5H3KP8czIOB85SyNYLelPSeQtSZ9OSHV5Za5jbu9Z8lsM1L5n3_kA47-2IhTqJBIG5xbs9ZdCyynHTs3AteYVRax644XmwgqT0VFc__TomMFQiBWkIDSbAcHZS_6NcQ/s1600-h/Misc+-+Day+2+-+Jan+9+2007+Night+Market+-+001.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhpwtTU1E5H3KP8czIOB85SyNYLelPSeQtSZ9OSHV5Za5jbu9Z8lsM1L5n3_kA47-2IhTqJBIG5xbs9ZdCyynHTs3AteYVRax644XmwgqT0VFc__TomMFQiBWkIDSbAcHZS_6NcQ/s200/Misc+-+Day+2+-+Jan+9+2007+Night+Market+-+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018511119743828066" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgNPM7x_r3FpVn4rtMOjLDq2gxzWwzeAvTpKU6FoQyD6YP-cNlXUeO5kBJhOoPt66GZQSir3r0re5YPhmZPC5OgTbjegKlR18hon-qbF-PTnXy0YCLoiW-yFrf8YtkOxnTwKntw/s1600-h/Misc+-+Day+2+-+Jan+9+2007+Night+Market+-+002.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgNPM7x_r3FpVn4rtMOjLDq2gxzWwzeAvTpKU6FoQyD6YP-cNlXUeO5kBJhOoPt66GZQSir3r0re5YPhmZPC5OgTbjegKlR18hon-qbF-PTnXy0YCLoiW-yFrf8YtkOxnTwKntw/s200/Misc+-+Day+2+-+Jan+9+2007+Night+Market+-+002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5018510544218210386" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Tuesday night we took a cab to the Shihlin Night Market. It is streets and streets of shops and vendors with all kinds of clothes and trinkets and is very crowded. I had Kaylee in my hotsling, so she was protected from the crowds and nice and warm and safe as a bug next to me.<br /><br />I'm sure many of you have seen the street vendors in various cities and how they scatter when the police come. Usually the vendor has his wares spread out on a sheet or large plastic bag and when the authorities are nearby gather everything up and run. Boy what a difference it makes when the vendor has a whole cart of wares. One minute I'm talking to him about a beautiful blouse I want to buy and the next he and the cart are running away from me shouting police.<br /><br />The Night Market was ok. We were afraid to eat any of the many interesting things the street vendors were selling based on warnings from Sally and others. The shops become overwhelming after a while. We did buy 2 gorgeous chinese outfits for Kaylee. One for this year's Chinese New Year Celebration and another that should fit her in a few years.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745188.post-32874010580148481752007-01-10T11:51:00.000-08:002007-01-10T12:52:22.131-08:00Pictures

3 as 3Since we did not have to return to the AIT until 11:30 am, this morning was the first opportunity we had to take advantage of the hotel's free breakfast. Troy got our coupons for a free sandwich meal at the Subber down the street. The little 3" sandwiches and coffee were pretty good.<br /><br />Then we lounged around and played until we got our taxi at 11 am. We showed our appointment receipt to the security guard, went upstairs to check-in and were given Kaylee's papers after just a few minutes. We were also given strict instructions not to open any of the envelopes. That's the last bit of paperwork on this side of the world! Kaylee is now free to leave with us!!!<br /><br />We took a cab to the Taipei 101 - currently the tallest building in the world (101 stories). We walked around the mall on the bottom few floors and then went to the basement for lunch. We got noodle dishes in big strainer-type bowls and took turns eating while holding Kaylee. After lunch we headed to the 5th floor to purchase tickets to go to the observation deck. It only took us 37 seconds in the elevator and we were told it is in the Guiness Book of World Records as the fastest elevator.<br /><br />They offered free English tour recordings and we listened while we looked at Taipei. It was pretty cool. Kaylee lasted most of the time and then decided to take a nap. We then went to the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, which we had seen from the top of the Taipei 101. We caught the end of the changing of the guard. Kaylee amazed me and made not a peep as the guards high-stepped within just a few inches of her.<br /><br />We started looking for a taxi to head home, but in passing the MRT station decided to give the subway a try. We went downstairs and in looking at the map saw that we were very close to the Longshan Temple, which I wanted to see. As we were trying to figure out the system, we were approached by an American who explained how we got our passes. We ended up going in the same direction as he was and rode with him for a few stops.<br /><br />The Longshan Temple is quite impressive and very busy with many worshippers burning incense and providing food and flower offerings to Buddhist and Taoist deities. It has a waterfall and giant koi fish pond in the courtyard. The Temple is the oldest in Taipei and was built in 1738. <br /><br />After returning to the hotel and feeding Kaylee, we headed out to Jake's Country Kitchen for dinner. It was fun to see the restaurant decorated in American record albums - Foreigner, Grease, etc. The food was actually pretty good. I had pot roast and Troy had a chimichanga.Tammyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06315065355977804087noreply@blogger.com1
