Feet, Butt and Head




Jemma has figured out a way to get her bottle at just the right angle - by using her foot! Clever girl.
If you look closely at her butt, you can see the bruise-like coloring around her lower back. When we first got Jemma we saw bruises on her arm as well as the bruised butt and we thought she had been roughed up in the orphanage. Then we learned that this is a characteristic of most Asian babies called "Mongolian Spots" and they'll fade by the time she is 4 years old or so. Whew!
Most of the Chinese people will ask you if your baby is a boy or girl. Jemma was in a pink flowery outfit, and still, they asked. Norman said this is really just an ice-breaker for the Chinese people, that they know deep down. We decided to put a giant pink bow in her hair just to make sure.
