Getting to know Lucy

She loves hair bows, bands, clips… and brushing her hair (she has lots of hair).

She seems to be enjoying the freedom to fix her own hair and is quite good at pony tails.

She is very loving and affectionate with us.

She slows down when there is a change in the floor covering or ground to check to see if she has to step down.  She can probably see for a distance of about 2 meters and holds things very close to her face when she wants to look at them.

She loves putting on chap stick with a compact mirror.

She loves beautiful things.  At breakfast she admired a red carnation so much that the waitress gave it to her.

She always puts things away where she found them.

Anyone that knows Jason will not be surprised to know that she learned the English word “mint” within minutes of meeting him.

She says “Thank you, Mama” and “Thank you, Baba” when we do something for her or give her something.

She loves stringing beads on a lace.  This activity is a big hit!  We brought lots of small plastic beads and colored cord and she has worked on beads for hours.

She attacks any project or activity book like she is on a mission.

She is very generous and always shares her crackers and other snacks, water, pictures she has colored…. She is also generous with her words, she talks a blue streak in Chinese pretty much all day.

Sometimes I am in the doghouse and I don’t know why.  She seems to forgive me eventually and we can move on.

She washes her hands like nobody’s business.

Loves her JieJie (big sister) and has to take a picture of anything she does. (she loves her new camera!!)

Sleeping is an aerobic activity.

She loves to be held and have Baba carry her.

She is beautiful and clever and a JOY.

  2. I am Christina Anderson’s sister, and she was just telling us last weekend that you all were in China, and then I saw a link to this post on FB. I just wanted to say Congrats on the new addition – she seems like quite the character! 🙂 (hair brushing and chap stick are also 2 of my favorite things! :))
    Prayers for your sweet family as you begin this next chapter!

  3. Thank you for sharing these wonderful things you have learned about Lucy with us. We are so happy that she seems to love her new family members and is enjoying her time with them. I had another fun day with Michael today too! Today Lego Duplos and Winnie the Pooh were the toys of the day!

  4. Hanna, thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. You are going to be such a wonderful big sister. The smiles tell it all!
