Well, lets just say she is a busy little thing! She is a mover, always on the go. She knows what she wants and when she wants it and there is a high (very high) pitched scream if you don't believe her. She does not give us much of a warning when she is hungry, so we end up with her screaming while we are trying to make a bottle. Mom and Dad need to watch for the signs better before the screams. She seems to be prefering me but she will still go to David anytime, she just wants me when she is tired. She has a cute little personality, but we still do not get many smiles from her. She is a very pleasant baby and pretty much goes with the flow which will be good when she gets home to four brothers who will smother her in hugs and kisses. She is a good little sleeper- 8:30pm- 6am this morning and we woke her up to go to AIT.
Speaking of AIT we passed with flying colors, we get her Visa tomorrow!!!!
The family we are traveling with is just awesome, we have a lot in common and their little one Emi is just so cute. Emi is sick though, so that has not been fun for them, they have been to the doctor a couple times for breathing treatments since they got her. We are building a life long friendship, and we are so happy they live where we can see them once in awhile. I will post some pictures of the two of them when Emi feels a bit better.
So aside from the extreme humidity, Taiwan could not be better. Even though I enjoy the busy city here in Taipei, I wish we could get away from the big city to see the true Taiwan. I can tell from the mountain sides that is beautiful (think Kauai) but you can't see much past the highrises and apartmant buildings. Someday I will return with Maya and I will see it then.
We love this whole experience, being here still feels like a dream, especially when Xiao-Pin reaches out to touch my face or pats me on the sholder saying "mama", or when she is using her daddy as a jungle gym and he is just eating it up. He keeps looking at me and grinning. I am seeing a whole new side of my husband--he has always been a great father to the boys, but there is something different about a daddy and his little girl.

beast says hi, she misses you too!
I just have to say I'm sitting here at my computer bawling for you. Just like I tried not to on Sunday at about 6:30 p.m. I have been in the middle of moving to a house...we'll talk when you get back...So this is the first time I have been able to sit down and read about my FREAKIN' ADORABLE niece! I bet Dave and you are loving the sweetness and (mostly) gentleness that girls are...sugar and a whole lotta spice. I am feeling for you on the high pitch screams though, not only Olive but Sam too here!
Big congratulations- she is such a treasure. You have given me a tiny window into what our life will be like sometime next year. I am moved to tears and look forward to reading more as time goes on!

What a precious smile she has in that last pic. She has such big eyes. I'm glad to hear everything is going so well- hopefully she gives you better warnings when she's hungry so there's not as much screaming. :)
Hey Guys,
She is so dang cute. The kids are so excited to meet her. It has been so fun to see the updates and the pictures. People are constantly asking about you guys. Can't wait to see you and meet beautiful Maya. Love, The Seithers
