Adventures in Vietnam

Well we are feeling a little more at home in our new surroundings. We know how to tget the the health clinic, because Sophie had her physical there and we had to take her yesterday and this morning becasue she has developed a skin rash. But the doctor said this morning it is nothing to worry about. They thought at first it might be an allergic reaction, but decided it was just a begnin rash that babies sometimes get. So we are venturing out this morning to do a little laundry and then plan on going to a lake nearby this afternoon to see a bridge and a pagaoda out on the lake. We have been going to the grocery store on a regular basis to buy water and such as it is much less expensive than at the hotel.

Sophie is still great. She has been a little fussy but we think she may be starting to teeth. She is trying so hard to roll over and she gets her self sideways in the little crib in our room at night. She is adjusting great to us and is starting to look for us when she wakes. She has learned that crying almost always gets a response so she does it sometimes just to see if we will jump and of course we say how high!! Her sore is getting better with regular bandage changes and she eats really good. I never could have phathomed the love you can have for a child. I don't even care when she wakes me out of a sound sleep and in fact I am happy to get up and tend to her. Chris is just wonderful with her as well. And she loves his deep voice. He tries to talk baby talk to her and she gives him the stink eye. But if he talks in a regular voice she is mesmerized. Also you all will get a laugh out of this she cries everytime I sing, but falls into a deep sleep when Chris sings!!!!

We have been hanging out with the other families quite a bit and ate dinner like real humnas last night at the restraunt.

You can check out more pics on photobucket.com. I am not sure what the name of the file is but when I find out I will post it on here.

Back to baby and laundry.
