Rain, Rain go away!

We have switched Jenni to a new formula as we can't get the one she had in her orphanage here in Changsha. She seems to really like it but not sure if it is agreeing with her as she seemed a little bit more cranky today and very wiggly. She was arching her back alot and tightening her legs so I think her tummy hurts. She is not really fond of table food yet. We finally got her to eat some Pork and Egg Congee and a little bit of Rice and Steamed Egg today but she seems to have some issues with keeping the food in her mouth..she pushes it out with her tongue. She actually gets frustrated as she wants to eat it but it is like her tongue doesn't cooperate. But is getting better each day. She has no teeth yet at 9 months so that may be part of her problem. There are some 7 month old babies in our group that have 5 or 6 teeth already!! She is finally standing pretty good with help from us but refuses to try and crawl. So I think she will start walking before even crawling. Today was very wet and rainy. We tried to go to a local park with the group and it poured down rain! We had umbrellas but everyone was miserable including the babies. We haven't been able to do a whole lot in Changsha just because of so much rain. But Rich and I really enjoy just spending time with Jenni and getting in some bonding time. Thanks for all of the prayers of good health and safety..please keep it up. We are all doing ok so far.
