Pics/Videos from this week

Rocky worked alot this week, often missing breakfast, lunch, and dinner with us, and Liza was sick so Adelaide and I spent alot of time together. We went to the aquarium again. Sunday Rocky and I actually had a date though! We took our friends Ped and Tik to dinner at a great cajun restaurant here in Bangkok. It's actually really good cajun food all the way over here. We love going here with Ped so he can relive his college years in Louisiana with us.

Yum. Bananas foster cooked at the table.

My dad got me a pass for the aquarium so it's a good spot for us to go during the day. Our four walls of our room close in on us really early in the morning. Here's some pics and video from Ocean World.

Some elderly lady hopped out of her wheelchair, plopped Adelaide in, and wheeled her around the aquarium for a little while. That blonde hair is a Thai magnet.

Adelaide climbed into this double stroller when she saw the seat available. The mom of course took their pictures too.

Adelaide exploring the aquarium.

Adelaide is quite the climber these days. She loves climbing up slides and then going down. This playscape is also at the aquarium.


Here we are making shadows before bed one night. I love that Adelaide is also trying to mimic Rocky's sounds.


Warning: This is the coolest riding toy ever. What fun rednecks could have with something like this. Bear down the stairs? Bear in the parking lot? Bear in the elevator? For 10 baht this thing drove around for over 2 minutes. It has forward and reverse and steering. Oh yeah.


New words this week: Brown Bear (as in the Brown Bear book), truck. . . I know there are more but I can't think of them right now. It will come to me later.
New skills:
fixing things. She intuitively knows how things go together and how to "fix" things. Today she fixed a toy golf putter that was broken. Then she laid the "hole" on the ground and attached the flag on her own. I didn't even put together that the flag attached that way. I don't know how she figures things like this out. Where does she get that from? Uncle Mike?
cleaning things. She really likes to get a wet washcloth and clean things. Where did she get that from? Rocky?
sorting things. Adelaide likes having things in their proper place. She loves putting her toys in her toybox. She loves putting trash in the trashcan. She loves putting her "tools' in the "toolbag." Where does she get that from? Me?
spinning. Adelaide loves it when I pick her up under the arms and spin around. She laughs and laughs and laughs. Today she got so mad when I stopped spinning her to spin other kiddos.

More next week. Miss and love you all.
