Friday-Day In

Today we had no business and spent the day in our room and at the hotel. We decided we were not going to sleep all day because we really needed to try and do something. So we opened our curtains and tried to sit in the chairs and not the bed. It worked and we stayed up a good part of the day. Lucy slept a good bit but also played a lot more today. She had fun playing with her stacking cups and toys. We decided to order room service in because one of the other couples had an appointment and the other had a sleeping baby at lunch time. We ordered plain fried rice with fried egg and French fries. The rice was actually pretty good and we ate it and so did Lucy. Of course, we have not found something she won’t eat except for formula. After lunch Lucy decided she wanted out of the room so we went and walked around the lobby of the hotel. We looked at fish in the pond and strolled around. She does well in the stroller and likes to be out. We then came back to the room to nap. Allen walked to the corner store with our friends from Kentucky while she and I napped. After our naps we got up and played some more in our room. Lucy snacked on her favorite snack and ate some applesauce. We then went down to the lobby to call in pizza for our group. We met in the play area again and had more fun with the other couples. It is nice to have someone to talk to and share this experience with. On Saturday, we are headed to a pavilion for some sightseeing with our guide. Hoping it is not too hot but will be glad to get out of the hotel for a while!

Things about Lucy:

• She loves to eat about anything. So far she likes-puffs, corn curls (Chinese snack), eggs, fried rice, watermelon, applesauce, prunes and pizza (LOVES)!

• She is starting to babble and talk to us a lot.

• When she smiles she has two dimples on both sides.
• She can crawl and walks a few steps when holding on to our hands.
• She observes us all the time and likes to have one us in her sight!
• She finally liked her bath last night!
• She does not like to have her diaper changed or her clothes changed!

I am typing this at 5:48 Saturday morning here. Allen and I have been up since around 3:30.It has been hard getting our bodies to adjust to the right time! A week from today we will be flying home! YAY!
