I found it so interesting that Sophia's info said she could sit up, roll over, pull up to a standing position and crawl. The only thing she could do at referral was sit up. We had to teach and help her re-learn everything. She did have very strong legs and was walking holding onto our hands in China, but that was it. The first three days in China she hardly ate a thing. I was making bottles like every 3-4 hours. Finally when we got to the White Swan she started eating rice, some breads, eggs and some congee. I also remember the shock of looking at the little bed they had for Sophia at the White Swan. No sides or railings. She wasn't sitting up from the lying down position anyway, but it was still not what I thought was safe. In The Dragon Hat picture, that was her bed. I look at her now and can hardly believe she went through all this......she is just a joy.

What a cutie pie!
Very interesting, do you think she did the things they said before, or that she never had done them? I'm glad that you are recounting everything. I won't worry now if our baby takes a while to eat something solid.
She is just a beauty Steffie. I can see how much you love her in every picture.
I love these posts about your time in China and remembering what it was like. She is so beautiful-
Yeah, our referral info was that way too..supposedly Annslee was walking..really?? Then I guess she forgot ha ha
Love these pictures of your sweet girl
I love looking back on what was. So incredible that they have all flourished and become such wonderfully delightful children. She was such a cute chubbette too! My girls were equally little chubbies.
Your baby bed at the WS was much different than Katie and Abbey's. Omg. Their's looked like a giant cage. They both screamed when we put them in it. It was super dark and the rails were real tight. Oh, the memories though......
Where have you been today my little pork chop?! I miss you..
I am loving the birthday blog... I have got to do this for my Catiebug.
Sophia certainly is a joy. Such a little doll
Fun for me to see these pictures as I did not know you then.
Love the chubby cheeks.
Amazing how quickly they grow up.
Oh Steffie, she is just so precious!!! Why do they have to grow up so fast? :)
