We can finally blog from China again now that we have a proxy! Sadie is growing like an okra. She is crawling all over and even up the stairs. Her two top teeth finally busted through and she is sleeping through the night again. Thank God!!! It is finally getting cold here too. After a sweltering fall we're really ready to get out the sweaters and slippers. Sadie had her first Halloween. We borrowed a duckie costume that she wore (sort of) and I borrowed a wig and a clown hat and John had a scream mask. It was all a little too overwhelming for Sadie. She hated being a duck. The scream mask made her cry and I was unrecognizable to her in my wig and hat and she didn't want me to hold her. So we were mostly not in costume at our Halloween party.

The Chinese man holding her is Lao He, our school handy man and Sadie's nannies husband. He is baby crazy and Sadie is now comfortable enough with other people to let him hold her. The sleeping man in the last picture was in a park by our house, completely fast asleep on his rock. We feel just like that alot these days, but haven't found such comfortable rocks around yet.
