My Little Chick and Girl's Marching Band


My baby is a little chick in these clothes. Here in Guatemala, chicks say "Pio, pio, pio", not "Peep, peep, peep".
Isabelle took 2 long naps today (yeah!). She took one around 10 am, when Alba was teaching me Spanish, and another around 2 pm. We both slept during the later nap (which helped me because she woke up twice during the night, and only ate a little before going back to sleep - what was that about?).
She is doing more dancing now in the walker and the bouncy chair, and she smiles and giggles when she does it. I've noticed Alba is teaching her to dance when she watches her for me, and it's so cute. I would not have thought of doing that. Isabelle loves it, though.
Tonight she was hungry when I was making her dinner (puree of carrots and potatoes) so I gave her little tastes of the strawberries I'd just bought and washed. She loved them!!

Oh my gosh! The hip dancing is the ABSOLUTE cutest, Elizabeth! I wish I was still there to see her in action. You are the most positive, happy person I think I've ever met and I applaud you for this being in Antigua alone. You and I both know it is not always the easiest thing, but you are doing it with your daughter. I miss you both so much and can't wait to see you back in Portland. Any adoption news? Passport, Embassy appt?!!! Do tell! Lara
P.S. WE ARE FINALLY IN PGN!!!!

Thanks Laura! I love the hip dance too.

I am thrilled that you are in PGN!! It looks like most people are having smooth sailing through it so you could be finished soon.

Thanks for the kudos, but I think you are the most fun person. Most of the time I just love being here. I really do enjoy the people and the sounds, and loved going around Antigua with you.

We've done our second DNA appt, and have another week for that and 2 or more weeks after that.
