Quinn brushing her teeth


Today we went to the zoo, Quinn was in her stroller, but we took her out just when we knew she couldn't see the animals. She is such a sweet a baby! We saw the rooster, Quinn's sign. Also we saw two tigers! That is my sign, we saw monkeys, snakes, hippos, donkey, wolfs, leopard, pandas, and ducks/swans. We also got to feed coy fish, Quinn tried to eat the fish food though. That was a really cool experience for Quinn I think. She smiled and laughed alot while we where there. Her smiles can lighten anyone up. After we went to the zoo, we went to pizza hut, for a American meal. Our interpreter Mary went with our driver to a Chinese restaurant for a Chinese meal. She then meet us back at Pizza Hut, then we went back to the hotel. Our day was low key and fun!! It had finally stopped raining today so we really lucked out! Quinn also wanted to brush her teeth and she was really good at it. Quinn has grown and made leaps and bounds in these couple days. I am amazed! She talks and her face is filling in, she has gained a couple pounds, and is becoming a three year old more and more every day!!!! She started out as a little rose bud, and is blooming so fast. WE LOVE HER SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!

See you all soon!
