The New World

"I came to the new world, and started my own business...Kimi's Kickin' Dog Walking Service!"

"first I have to get the leashes in order."

"This job is so chill since I'm the real dog whisperer"

"Sometimes I have to push the dogs to go, they stop to sniff a lot!"

"This is not my day, the dogs won't listen, and my mom has to carry me across the street."

"I'm the dog whisperer...with treats!"

"One for Daddy, one for dogs and two for me haha!"

" Of course my hands are clean, the dogs just licked em "

This was Kimi's first pizza, it was friend mark's party..she ended up eating dinner rolls and didn't like the pizza.


Kimi and Mommy at Mark's party! Hope you had a great 40th!

We had our first Dr.'s apt today, sorry no photos but I had to run after her in the office and Ken had to carry all the stuff and make a bottle etc. Everything went well, she is very healthy, a little under weight, but nothing American food can't cure. She said she also seems very smart, and was amazed at how much she can understand and say already (in both Mandarin and English). She was also impressed at her ability to focus on one task with fairly long attention span. She did tell us in 2mos she will probably lose her Mandarin language skills, which we hope to help her retain with classes. We have already been doing Mandarin videos and speak to her in broken English/Mandarin for example for head is (toe in Mandarin) we learned the body parts. Today I was telling he her feet in Mandarin then English (I'll say gio-foot and point to her foot) then I said this is your toe and she pointed to her head...which is correct. So we have developed our own crazy language. We are not worried at all about her learning English, but more about trying to keep her Mandarin.

She is still adjusting and doing well except for some issues with sleeping. The last two nights we have not had her video on thankfully, and she went to bed pretty easy so things are working out. The adjustment can take a while so we appreciate everyone helping us.
