She's amazing!

We had a great day today! We went touring in Nanchang, had an amazing lunch with the group, and then took Penelope swimming for the first time. She just loves the water. Then she took a bath and we had an amazing play session: she was giggling and engaging us...unbelievable...what a difference a few days make...she's imitating us like crazy! She's clapping, waving bye-bye, making rasberry kisses (and she loves getting them). She's such a sweet child. We're totally in love. We picked up her (first) made to order dress--see the pictures of Tiffany and her daughter in the store. Gotta go now, Penelope's getting antsy in the stroller next to me.
