The girl cannot drink...

Mommy and Lydia
What we cannot believe is that Lydia cannot drink out of a bottle or a straw and has difficulty drinking from a cup. It appears as though she was cup fed at the orphanage. It is quite an experience trying to provide liquid to Lydia, as half of it ends up on her shirt if we are not careful she coughs down the other half. It is an interesting experience, one sip at a time.



Daddy and Lydia

We have only had her for 2.5 days but love and adore her. She likes to know were Becky is at all times. If she can't see me she starts to cry.

This is Henry, Lydia (La0ng) and Daddy at the airport waiting to fly to Hanoi. Just about the time we got used to HCMC it was time to leave.

Lydia looks so wonderful, healthy and bright eyed. I'm so happy to see her with her family at last.
Elia drank out of a bottle when we got her so I don't know what to say about the drinking issue. Did you bring a sippy cup?
Elia also liked her bottles VERY warm in the beginning and rejected them if they were too cold.

I just thought of something. I bet she was fed with a spoon! Even water-
Hopefully she's drinking there now though. Is it terribly hot weather?

Hmmm...sounds like Lydia needs a little help with her suck-swallow reflex and drinking from a good pediatric OT - do you know one? Ha! I'll help you out when you get home...
