Naps and Tutu's

I think that we have something that resembles a schedule happening here. Mali is a napper. She takes a morning nap and an afternoon nap. Hell hath no fury when homegirl doesn't get her naps. We had a great day today. Mali had pancakes for the first time and she loved them! She played with the dogs.

We put the dogs on the leash and took them for a long walk.

Walks can really poop out a girl!

Next it was tutu time!

You're never too young for fresh breath!

Working that TWIRL.

Such a little mama with her baby

We're home!

Actually we have been home for 5 days now, but things have been a little busy around here and computer time is pretty limited. Other than both Mark, Mali and I battling some China virus and jet lag we are doing great! The 18 hour travel went well. I stopped counting the times Mark and I told each other "This will be over soon" after about the 63rd time. We had a lay over in Seoul and walked Mali around the airport to tire her out. There was an indoor play area and we found out she LOVES the slide. We finally land at LAX and I saw my boys and lost it. It was so good to be home! After a crash course in car seat installation, we hit the road for home. Mali hated the car seat and prefers the China mode of transport, which is sitting on your parents lap. When we pulled into the driveway I was prepared for mayhem with introducing her to the dogs, but to my surprise she walked in the house like she owned the place. She loves the dogs, adores the cat, and she thinks the turkey is creepy JUST LIKE ME!

So far Mali is loving her new life. She is a great sleeper and is slowly getting used to her new time zone. She is getting used to the new foods and tastes. So far she doesn't like scrambled eggs, yogurt and most meats except for bacon (but then WHO doesn't like bacon?).

Enjoy the deliciousness!
