Hi-Ella here! I've been in the U.S. for about a month now and am having a good time so far (besides the fact that Lucy, my dog, doesn't seem to like me much). I really like her though and blow her kisses all the time. She is hilarious!
Anyway, I've been keeping Mom and Dad busy. The worst thing so far has been my doctor visits. They had to take blood to find out if the vaccinations that I had in China were, in fact, present in my body. Unfortunately, for me, none of them were there, so I got six shots all at one time. Then, I had to get tubes in my ears. Actually, I feel much better now since I've had the tubes. It was an interesting experience at the hospital. Everyone was very nice and trying to make me feel better, but they made me wear the most unflattering smock for surgery. It was hideous! The pediatrician also found out thru my bloodwork that I am extremely allergic to environmental agents, but luckily, no food.
That is another thing. I really, really like to eat. I'm still on the small side, so I keep getting fed very yummy stuff. So far, I like everything except pears and yogurt. I also like to sleep. Mommy is happy about the fact that I've slept 12 hours a night straight thru without waking up ever since I've been home. I love sleeping in my new crib. It is very pretty and I have really soft blankets.
Lots of people have been over to see me and we've been out visiting a lot. Fortunately, I've had several birthday parties to attend already, which meant more cake and ice cream for me. My grandparents seem to like me a lot. They hang on every word I say and clap and act silly if I smile at them. I enjoy riding in the new mini-van Mom and Dad bought. They said they had to buy it because of me, but I think they wanted it for themselves. One of my favorite activities is being in my jumparoo, watching Baby Einstein videos or Sesame Street. I also love my stroller. There is nothing like taking a walk on a sunny day, eating banana Puffs.
Above are some pictures from my recent adventures. The pics of Mom and me and then Gramps and me at Paul Brown Stadium (they said someone called the Bengals play a game there) were taken during the 6-mile March of Dimes walk that the three of us did. I don't know why they were tired afterwards. I certainly wasn't! We walked around the riverfront in Cincinnati and then over the bridge to Kentucky. The other pictures are with some of my cousins and my friend Kira, who is very nice. I met a turtle when Mom took me to a playgroup outing to the local nature center. I liked petting him, but he seemed to be trying to get away from me. Imagine that! We also had a picnic there, which, of course, meant more food ;)
I will try to get Mom to get more pictures up in a few weeks. She acts like she had so much to do lately. Go figure!

Erin,
Ella seems like such a doll, and she sleeps 12 hours straight through at night? Wow, your lucky.
She looks like such a delightful child.
she looks so happy! I got a little heart tug when I saw her smile and bright eyes.

It looks like you guys have settled right in. Sera loves her puffs and all food, too. She loves yogurt though. I started her on YoBaby yogurt, and she thinks it's great. Her favorite show is Little Einsteins by Baby Einstein. It's on Disney Playhouse. Ella may like it, too.
ERIN, GREAT PICTURES... THANKS FOR KEEPING ME UP DATED ROGER
