Greetings from Xi'an once again. Today Mia is desperately trying to help us type the blog. She was a real trooper going around the Terra Cotta Warriors museum and has proved very playful in general. She is glued to mama 24/7 and for now is rejecting her stroller and high chair for mama's arms and stealing the hearts of waitresses everywhere. She is still quite freaked out by daddy (baba) and men in general but we have high hopes that this will change soon. Today teething is going great gums with Mia and other babies on the trip. Oragel and mutual support are being shared by the parents in our group. Right now Mia is climbing all over mama and playing dropsies with her favorite piece of paper and delighted with her work.

Love to all,

Kate & Neil

PS for Dorothy. We absolutely love Xi'an and hope we can come back with you for a return visit.
