We have a tooth!

Chloe broke her first tooth today. We've seen the signs and the slobber for quite some time and today we finally felt the tiny sharp edges. One test with a spoon and it was confirmed. There's only one thing in the mouth that makes that sound.

With just 2 more full days in China, we spent the whole day shopping. Who knows when we'll be back, so whatever we want to take home with us needs to be purchased in these last two days. There was a tour around Guangzhou today to a Buddhist temple and a couple other spots that just wasn't our thing, so shopping became the schedule.

I would have posted earlier, but Chloe cried for over an hour when we put her to bed tonight. As hard as it is to hear, it's a good sign that she expects someone to respond to her when she cries. Her cries have been more and more urgent over the last few days as she seems to look to us for comfort. Now we just need to figure out what to do at bed time. If we hold her, she doesn't settle down enough to get fast asleep. But if we put her in bed, which has worked every night until now, she just wants to cry. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

We have more pictures to show, but blogger is not working for us today. I'll try again tomorrow morning. We're scheduled to go to the pearl market, but I may stay behind with Chloe so she gets a good nap while Elaine goes with the group.
