A day of laziness.....

First of all we ALL slept good last night. It was the first night since we left home that Vince and I didn't wake up at 2 in the morning. We actually slept until 7 and we had gone to bed at 9. We didn't have any schedule today so we've just kind of milled around. After breakfast we came back up to the room and checked the blog comments, which again we loved reading, thanks you guys for keeping them coming. We decided to put Zoey on the floor and let her play to see how she would do. It's been so unbelievable to see how much she has changed in the last 5 days. The first 48 hours we had her she had kind of a blank look about her, she do the things that a 7 month old should do. She wouldn't reach for things, I tried to get her to play with some toys and she would scream, etc. Well, yesterday afternoon she really took off with the toys, but we learned that only one at a time is what works best right now. This morning when on the floor we were so amazed at the things she was doing. She would actually sit for about a minute before starting to fall to the side or back. She almost rolled over, and was actually trying to push herself with her feet to reach a toy when on her stomach. It just takes your breath away when you realize how much interaction with these babies just heaves them forward in development in no time. The first few days she wanted to be walked to go to sleep, now I have to rock her to get her to sleep, which I actually love. It only takes about 5 minutes to get her down, but that has always been my favorite part, when they snuggle that sweet head up under your chin and you can hear them breathing so peacefully. I just melt. Thats my time and I am so thankful that both of my girls wanted me at that time. I will always cherish that quiet sluggly time! Also, Madison changed her first diaper this morning. She did a great job, even though she didn't exactly like it, but it wasn't a poopy diaper, she was relieved about that. After a nap and after playtime we ventured back to the market this morning. Then this afternoon we went to Pizza Hut again for a late lunch. We sat down and ordered our pizza and had about finished eating when we really took notice of the people sitting next to us. They were eating pizza too, but after close examination we realized that something on top of their pizza was moving. Yes, I said MOVING. We don't know what it was because the only way to talk to the wait staff is by pointing to pictures, but it looked like some kind of fish or tenticles. Vince tried to get some video of it, but it didn't really turn out well. It was so bizarre, maybe it was fish lips? Then tonight we went downstairs for the free buffet and the hostess said they were full and we should come back later, not that there was a wait and it would be a few minutes, but "come back later". So we just fed Zoey in the room, we weren't hungry anyway. It's just been such an interesting cultural experience these last few days. I don't know what I was expecting from China, but it has surpassed all I thought it would be in many different ways. I am ready to come home but wouldn't trade these days for anything. Tomorrow morning we meet at 11 for all the babies passports. Then at 3 we are off to the airport to depart for Guangzhou. YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
