A Full Nest

In Beijing we saw an incredible stadium built for the Olympics—what our guide called the "Nest" of Great Beauty. It was simple, stunning and complete. That's how our nest feels now that we have Davyn, aka YingYing, a perfect little kewpie doll of a baby.

She has totally latched on to her Dad and only cries when she sees Mom. Poor Dad can't even leave the room. JieJie is a distraction, but all her antics can easily be upstaged by Dad's watch or eyeglasses.

We learned that YingYing has a foster brother and sister, both much older. She is afraid of the dark, likes to be rocked to sleep, watches TV while eating and has a sweet tooth. She doesn't like people who wear dark colors, and her favorite animal is a chicken (?) She is said to love playing with the television remote, and when we handed her one in the hotel, she immediately got the TV to work. She loved watching us blow bubbles and seems to have a mean pitching arm. Tonight she ate lots of Cheerios and puffs and rice porridge and formula. Also a little applesauce. She had her bottle and snoozed off on her daddy's chest just as big sister was conking out on the sofa. Next feeding, 5 a.m.
