Dining out with the Lai girls.

"Hmmm, Grandpa, I think we should order 2 kinds of dumplings, fried rice, sweet and sour shrimp, roasted pork and steamed chicken. Oh this menu is upside down - silly me"
"Hey you with the camera, do you mind? You've been sticking that thing in my face all day! How would you like it if I stuck.... Oh, its you Daddy, uh... goo-goo ga-ga?"
Olivia actually tried some fried rice. I think she was more interested in the green chop sticks. She has some catching up to do with her sister though. Alicia weighed in at about 8.7 kg and Olivia at 7.6 kg. However, Alicia feels alot heavier than the 1.1 kg difference! For an eleven month old Alicia wears 18+ month old clothing. Olivia wears 12 month old clothing and I guess she will also get to wear Alicia's hand me downs!
"Yummy! Fried rice with egg! Great suggestions Alicia!"

Olivia didn't mind trying stuff but Alicia didn't even try the rice. Alicia definitely knows how to indicate "NO" by shaking her head side to side.

Olivia:
"You know mommy that too much rice isn't good for my girlish figure - see daddy, you want to look like that?" 

The Great Wall of China

I'm not sure if it was a good idea to let the women go on this Jade factory excursion. Grace and Mom went touring today and Dad and I got the short end of "two sticks". While they had fun carrying filled shopping bags I had fun changing filled diapers.

The Great Wall on not so great a day. It was raining and misty all day - cooler but still a bit muggy. They said they could only see about 100 meters and then fog. Meanwhile back at the outhouse (hotel room) things are "piling" up. You know when babies need to go they really go! I almost past out from the smell and I didn't ask the women where they put the baby wipes! I did learn one thing and that was baby poo makes a great hand creme... if you don't mind the smell!
I think this says "Great Wall" or "Don't leave your husband home with the babies". Probably ancient grafitti. I'm not sure - I was changing diapers...
