Jonah really does like Grady. He was worried that we were going to leave him in Lanzhou. When we were packing to leave for Guangzhou, Jonah wanted to know if we were going to leave Grady there. Then he wanted to know if we were going to leave him on the plane. I told him not to worry, and that he was in our family now and we won't leave him anywhere. We already went through the things we have at home for Grady: a car seat, a high chair, two little kid beds (a Pack N Play and a crib). This morning, he was whispering things to Grady. We're pretty sure that they're going to be joint conspirators against us soon.In the afternoon, we went to get Grady's Visa photo and then took him for his physical examination. Cheryl stayed back and napped with Jonah (it's impossible not to fall asleep next to that kid if you are next to him in a hotel room...he radiates so much heat!!). When I told Jonah that we were taking Grady to the doctor, Jonah wanted to know if they were going to fix the hole in Grady's mouth, and I told him not yet. Jonah is so protective of him. Here are some pictures from the doctor's visit.
Grady has been sitting up for longer and longer periods as well...although he does fuss a little about it. Here's a picture of the little cutey.
Tomorrow, our guide, Grace, takes all the paperwork to the Consulate for us. After that, all we need to do it the oath and we will be able to leave China with our son!

I just love checking in with you all each day. I know the trip starts to feel long at this point but I hope you are enjoying your time there. I always find that toward the end I am dying to come home but once home for a week or two, I am dying to get back to CHINA. :)
Can't wait to meet your precious little Grady!
