The Red Couch Picture and Medical Exam

We had the famous Red Couch picture at the White Swan Hotel today. It is always fun to get all the babies together and attempt to get a picture with the least amount of screaming possible. Hope is pretty mellow, unless you try to get her to crawl, give her food on a spoon or any Chinese person comes too close to her - then she lets out shrilling screams until we pick her up. We have met some great families here and it is always great going as a group to things. We all had our medical exams for all of our babies and it was a zoo. Lots of babies screaming and long lines of parents in a hot sweaty room trying to get in the next line and get out as quickly as possible. Hope survived the torture and is one chubby, healthy baby. She is really beginning to warm up to Mike now and lets him carry her around, but our guide Bob just looks at Hope and she starts screaming. Grace has been doing really well with having to share the attention and it has been wonderful having the boys here to play with both Hope and Grace.
