As you can see from the title, Jon is getting better in that his cough is improving and he is starting to eat a little more, which is great. Also, he kissed my mom on the cheek and said "bao" (which means hug) and hugged my mom. That is a big step in attachment, because it is very common for adopted children to not be able to attach to their parents so soon. Thank you all so much for continuing to pray for us.
Jon is so cute and very ticklish.
It was funny because when we went to visit the memorial, he would put his arms out to our guide and when she would reach for him, he would pull away. Very cute!!
What we have learned over the past 2 days is that he doesn't like to be in the sun at all, because when we go outside, he starts to cry. It seems obvious now, but since we are used to the sun we never thought of it.
Also, the reason he doesn't like the stroller is because in the orphanage, he was either held or he walked, so he is not used to it and therefore scared.
Here is the verse of the day.
Know therefore that the LORD your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands. - Deuteronomy 7:9
My mom, Jon, our guide, and I taking a picture on what are called the Beauty Seats".
Jon getting tickled. 
We have to put sunscreen on Jon, because he is so sensitive to the sunlight, but he doesn't like it much. 
The black object in the center of the picture is where Lord Bao was commemerated by putting incense in it. 
Jon is all smiles in this picture!Min tian jian, (See you tomorrow in Chinese!)
