Emma

Here are a few pictures of Emma taken in Guangzhou and Beijing last year. She relaxed noticeably with us from beginning to end of our time in China...how much she (and all the other kids) changed in the course of 2 weeks was amazing! It really is astonishing the impact of one on one (or two or three on one!lol) attention has on these little ones! For instance, Emma's legs were a bit weak when we first met her. Within a few days, she was pulling herself up and walking all around her crib and by the end of our stay in Beijing, she'd literally pulled the side right off a crib by rattling it. The hotel handymen (3 0f them) were unable to fix it and had to replace it...that's our little Hulk!!lol BTW, the crib she broke is the wooden one you see in one of the pics, not the tiny metal one!
