A BUNCH of pictures from Nanchang China

If I would have been organized, I would have posted a few everyday. As it goes, I am only organized enough to do adoption paperwork and not the blog. So here is a whole slew of pictures!

Daddy and Amanda looking out the window of our hotel in Nanchang. We all did this a LOT as it rained EVERY DAY!

Amanda and Lucia getting to know each other

All dressed up for our first fancy dinner out!

So excited to be out and about!

First highchair experience

Nonno Martin (aka Lucia's Grandpa who is otherwise known as "The Baby Whisperer.") Amanda LOVED him!

Not pictured--Beth missing most of dinner to "walk" Amanda to sleep

Checking out my new socks--Thanks Orie!

Amanda trying pumpkin for the first time--she LOVES it! Definitely Mommy's girl!

Our daily view of Nanchang China. Rather gloomy. Good thing we had Amanda for Sunshine to brighten every day!

Beth and Lucia hanging out

The two Daddy's hard at work getting their daughters ready for pictures

Matching PJ's!

Lucia is explaing to Amanda that she needs to move back to Chicago ASAP so they can have more sleepovers

Amanda agrees and is now ready to work on Daddy to get back to Chicago:-)

Our teething girl

Drool Queen

Two top teeth coming in at once--Ouch!

Grandpa--Looks like she may be a little Lefty!!!

Lucia's Mohawk!

Giggling with Daddy

Amanda is as facinated with Daddy's blackberry as he is. She is the ONLY one who can get it away from him!

Back in the USA at 3am Jan 31

Anna (our niece, Kitty's oldest daughter) was sleeping when we got Amanda but she went to bed excited about her new cousin on the way!

It is the Troyer Family tradition to come up with a nickname for babies on the way because so far, everyone has kept the name a secret til the baby arrives. So, for the first baby of the family, Beth's mom makes a shirt for everyone to wear while they are waiting for the baby to arrive. This shirt was around for two years! Amanda's nickname was "Dimple!"

At Cakes and Grandpa's house getting ready to celebrate Amanda's/Dimples Arrival!

Amanda is here!!!

Aunt Lulu!

Amanda can't WAIT to meet all her family and friends and all those amazing people who have been waiting for her and praying for her for a very long time:-)
