On our way to the restaurant yesterday evening. Vera-Mei seems to have just as good apatite as big sister Olivia. Vera-Mei is very thin and under nourished, according to the doctor, but she will soon be healthy. She can hardly feed herself and she is very weak. I'm sure all this will change before we get back to Sweden.
Still very insecure and quiet - but curious. She hasn't laughed yet, but we have seen very quick smiles a couple of times.
Olivia and Vera-Mei have played together today. They used all the stickers - everything is a new experience for Vera but she is a quick learner. They also used the stacking cups (?) and shared and swapped like they had been friends forever.

Olivia took a ride and enjoyed the Chinese children's music outside the baby shop, where we bought new shoes and a buggy for Vera. She has almost as big feet and hands as Olivia! Her feet are also high and wide, so she can't wear any shoes (like Olivia).

This morning we went back to Civil Affairs to finalize the aoptions. As lng as we are on Chinese ground we are now the legal parents of Vera-Mei! But then we have to re-adopt her in Sweden.
At the moment my husband and to daughters are taking a nap. I wish I also could sleep like a baby! The jet lag is gone, but Vera-Mei had nightmares three times tonight and wouldn't calm down until I hold her and hugged her. It's nice she lets me comfort her, but hopefully this will not turn in to a habit. I rather cuddle in daytime!
This afternoon is free and this evening we have another joint Chinese dinner. Tomorrow we will visit an "ancient university", almost 100 years old, we'll wait and see how impressed we will be. Only a few decades ago all the houses in Beijing was only one floor, so this building was for sure impressing at the time, but I don't know how we Europeans will find it!
