Day 2 Nanchang; A day of firsts

Our second day in Nanchang and our first full day as a family started off with an early trip to the Jiangxi Provice Center for Adoption Services. We had to complete the rest of the forms, get all the certificates filled out, get our pictures taken (our first family picture), and go through an interview confirming that we wanted this baby and explaining why we wanted to adopt a baby from China.
While at the Center for Adoption Services, we also met the orphanage director and some of the nannies and gave them some gifts. We received a nice bamboo jar as a gift, but we all know what (or who) the REAL gift is...
After a stop to get all the forms notarized, the nuckels family made their first trip to Walmart. The place was two stories tall, hot, crowded, loud and basically a sensory overload. Eight western families wandering around a Walmart in the middle of China draws a bit of attention on its own, but throw in that each one had a Chinese baby, and you have quite the sight. We bought some more formula, a couple of bottles, some water and an outfit or two.
We spent the rest of the day hanging out at the hotel. Poor Audie, missed her nap and her parents haven't quite got the formula mix down correctly, so she was tired, hungry and hot from the trip to Walmart, and was a bit fussy for most of the afternoon and into early evening. Then we lucked into the right mix on the formula, and she returned to the sweet lovable girl we've gotten to know and love.
Some more information on Audrey, she has two teeth that are fully in on the bottom and maybe a couple more coming in soon. They don't seem to bother her much and she is not teething too much. She loves to be carried and move around. She is not fond ma ma or ba ba (daddy in Chinese) to sit and hold her. For the last two nights she has slept through the night from about 9:00 to 5:00 or 6:00. Right now she is laying in her crib playing with a ring and babbling contentedly. And last night we had our first poopy diaper.
Today we have an optional trip to a local park and then some free time.

  First family breakfast at the Galactica International hotel.  A 5 star hotel ... no one told Miss A.  Apparently she had recovered from the fright of gotcha day to enjoy or at least relax at this meal.

 It was also this little girls "gotcha day."

  Audrey was fascinated with teeth in those early days.
