Day 6 (last full day in Nanchang)

Eating watermelon at breakfast. I try to keep a bow in her hair, but you can tell from the pictures that she is pretty good at pulling them out. I tried to put a cute headband bow on her and she wanted nothing to do with it! Big surprise! :)

Sarah is really warming up to Dave. She likes playing with plastic lids and straws. She is learning how to drink from a straw. She is not a really picky eater, and we are starting to figure out some of her favorite foods. She really likes eggs, rice, watermelon, bananas, bread and steamed buns. Steamed buns are a type of Chinese roll that look like large marshmallows. They are really good and are usually served with a type of sweet butter.

Sarah entertains herself very well when mom and dad are busy packing! She ripped off the plastic covering for the tp and pulled it off one sheet at at time. Pretty good fine motor coordination, huh!

These guys are about 15 floors up, working on a building just outside our hotel window. My stomach flutters just watching them! Hmmm-- OSHA? Worker's comp? Don't think so!

On Friday we did some shopping in Nanchang for a tea set for Sarah. We found a really pretty one (with a floral design)with eight small cups and a tea pot for 100 yuan (less than $20 USD). It came packed in a nice wooden box. The sales girl wrapped each cup in newspaper so hopefully we'll get it home in one piece.

We also made another trip to Walmart and got some more baby wipes and snacks. I splurged and bought a small box of mini Dove chocolate bars just because I wanted chocolate! I think Ike thought I was crazy because they cost around 45 yuan, which I'm sure he thought was outrageous! But it's comfort food, and we love them!

So that's the news from Friday.
