Biter Biscuit COMA
G was not having fun at Target so I grabbed a box of Biter Biscuits and gave her one...her FIRST ONE and OMG!!!!
It was a BITER BISCUIT COMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sleep Mastered???
Fingers crossed. G is finally sleeping at night. Here is what worked for me. (so far, so good...only time will tell)
I give her a bath at night with the Lavender Bath wash, then I feed her oatmeal, prunes and a bottle, then brush her teeth. We then go into her room and turn off the lights, turn on her Chinese Lullabies CD, and then her Munchkin crib sound maker. I put her in the crib and she goes right down. Not a peep or anything! I am no longer sleeping in her room. I felt that in China she needed to see me because she would keep waking up the night and just check to make sure I was there. So, this made me believe that I should be sleeping in her room. Ironically, this is not what she needs now. So, for the third night in a row she has been sleeping soundly, by herself, in her own room. I hope and pray this continues...it's really working for me!!! :)
Chinese Lullabies
Munchkin Voice Activated Crib Light (and sound maker)
The sound is just like the sound of mom's heartbeat that you hear in an ultrasound. The sound stops after about 10 minutes - plenty of time for her to drift back off to sleep. 
Switching Formula
(While at the pediatrician)
What, you don't like my Chinese Formula???
You want me on this stuff??
Um Hello, will this taste as sweet and yummy?? 
I'm reading here...
and I don't think it will be as yummy. Are you sure we have to switch???
ANSWER: Yes! G's pediatrician is not happy with the Nestle formula and is switching her to Emfamil Lipil and transitioning to milk as soon as we can. Sorry G!!
4 Shots!!!
My girl got 4 shots. Not a flinch or a cry!!! She's a trooper!!!
Look, bandaids on both arms!!!

Carrefour in China
For all those waiting parents that know that they are going straight to Guangzhou for Gotcha day...PACK LIGHT!! Trust me! The moment you arrive in Guangzhou at your hotel, get your guide to give you the hotel business card and write Carrefour on it. Jump in a taxi and go there. It is usually 11 to 12 yuan which is about $2, each way.
I had heard through my internet groups that this is the place to go and that they have everything! So, I gather up a bunch of families and lead them there. When we got out of the taxi there is this large building and I assume this is the Carrefour! There is a sign for Carrefour but this is a pricey mall. I was confused and thought that I must have misunderstood ALL those people online. We exit the mall and there is the sign for Carrefour and I'm just dumb-founded. Then, thanks to Karen, she notices another entrance. Just to the left of the main mall enterance is the "right" entrance. Carrefour is an underground market below the mall. Two stories beneath the mall to be exact. It's HUGE, and crazy! I LOVED IT!!!!! (go to green arrow entrance, not red arrow mall) Hey, it was dark and I was excited!! My bad. LOL.
They have EVERYTHING! Come to find out you are not supposed to take photos!! Oops, I took a bunch that show the prices of everything. Prices are in YUAN. How much in US dollars??? all depends on the current exchange rate. We just divided by six for a guestimate. Check out the photos here of a bunch of items you might find useful for your little ones.
