Baby Gift

We've been very fortunate to have such a great support network of friends here in Shanghai. We've become good friends with one of Eric's officemates, Penny. She brought us to her hometown and introduced us to her family, a really wonderful group of people. Her sister and nephew have visited us in Shanghai before. Penny's sister gave us a baby quilt and recently, her cousin sent us a hand-knitted jumper for the baby.



Her cousin has a 6-year-old daughter who is absolutely adorable. When we were visiting them, she showed us a video of Le Le when she was 4 on a Chinese children's program. She sang a song and did a little dance. I don't think I managed to write a post about that (along with a lot of other things). Here's a picture of the two of them.



Here Le Le is taking individually wrapped flowers from her mother to hand to all family members. Le Le picked out the buttons on the jumper. Right now the jumper is folded in the baby's dresser. I know I will dress him in it at least once for pictures, but this is something that I will certainly set aside for a keepsake.
