We're halfway through!!! I cannot tell you how happy this makes me! Not onlythat, but Princess SLEPT last night-- actually, she is still sleeping (and we're hungry!). We had a funny incident yesterday while I was packing up our stuff. We had gotten some formula at the store the day before we got her, just in case she still needed it. When we got her, though, we were told that they stopped giving her formula about 2 months ago. Well, I picked up the bag, she saw it and it was VERY CLEAR that she knew exactly what was in that bag. She squealed and pointed and got excited. I still had a bottle made up in the refrigerator and thought I'd try and see if she wanted it-- cold, mind you. She sucked that thing down like she hadn't eaten in DAYS! Needless to say, we have been giving her a little formula since then and we believe that may be part of why she slept so well last night, 11 hours in total.
She had a great day yesterday, although, when I took her down to the lobby to "play," there was a male hotel staff member who wanted to hold her. I allowed it for just a minute and then he set her down. Well, as soon as he did that, she wanted nothing to do with and only wanted him. Of course, I picked her up and took her away saying, "wave bye bye! Bye bye!" and we promptly left. She wasn't happy with me. We will need to be careful of this, I think. I know it will get better, we do take baby steps, but sometimes it feels like one step forward, two steps back.
Anyway, we're headed to Guangzhou today and I couldn't be happier to get a change of scene. I hope she does well on the plane. Prayers please :)

Praying your flights go well.
You know, John reminded me of when his boss adopted their first child from Korea and when they brought her home they wouldn't allow anyone to hold her bceause of the bonding thing...just like you mentioned. I think it may be wise to keep her close until she figures out who you are and it should at least make you feel better to know she is more comfortable around men (It's not you, CS!). You know it will just take a little time. Safe travels!
Hope the flights go well. It is great that she'll take the bottle- that should help with the flights and sleeping. We're thinking of you!
Glad Princess slept so well!!! That makes everyone happy. Safe travels!
