Today was bus tour day! We started at the Stillwell residence. It was a beautiful house perched on the side of a hill.
This is the view from the Stillwell residence - it has been a very foggy day today!
We then walked to the 'Flying Tiger Museum' and watched an artist at work. This museum held artifacts from the Sino-Japanese war and local art work (amazing combination).
We then travelled to the Eling Park where Sophie promptly fell asleep in the carrier!
Alison and Anna (our guide) listening to our tour guide - after climbing up I don't know how many flights of stairs in amazing humidity! Sophie's still sleeping.
Alison, Sophie and Charlene walking back to the bus after a tea ceremony - Sophie slept through it all!
Sophie finally waking up - for the bus ride back to the hotel! She usually wakes up full of smiles and giggles.
And now for the title of the post - she's a movin!! Sophie has discovered walking with Mummy or Daddy (it doesn't matter who it is as long as she's moving). It all started around the coffee table and now it is all she wants to do. You can see how much she loves to move! And yes, she really is that little. She is 66cm long and we think around 15 - 16 pounds. Her feet are too small for the 6 month Robeez I brought, but they still stay on her feet. She fits all of the 9 month clothing and the size 3 diapers are a little bit big. She is tiny! The toys we brought with us are getting a lot of use now - she will even sit by herself for a while and play with them. Her voice is still quite soft. She is using it a lot more though! So far she travels great - she slept through almost the whole bus tour today. But she gets very fussy is we are late with a meal or bottle. Sophie loves to eat! She tried my icecream tonight - talk about excitement. Her whole body was shaking trying to get at the cone! Tomorrow is a quieter day - we are going to walk to a local market and try to find the local temple as well. Then we have paper work to do and a special dinner before we leave Chongqing on Saturday morning. Hope all is well back home,
Brad, Alison & Sophie
