October Thailand

So the plane left Dhaka at about 2pm, which we thought was nice to not to have that late night traveling. You got up about 9am so we figured you'd be ready for a nap. NOPE! You wiggled all 2.5 hours to Bangkok and then fell asleep just as we touched down. On the plane mom and dad tried some new things. Like trying to eat at the same time while you played on the bulkhead floor ... it took talent to keep you contained and eat ginger chicken with rice.

So with 5 minutes of rest we headed out of the airport and into a public taxi for the 40 minute trip to the Centura Grand. It took longer to get to the hotel then it did to reach Bangkok by plane. Apparently, Friday traffic jams are the norm here (more like gridlock or Dhaka Ramadan traffic). After two and a half hours we pulled into the hotel (longer then the plane ride). Elizabeth held up well despite this set back and watched through the window all the lights and life walking pass us.

This morning we had a great buffet experience in which you wolfed down kidney bean and corn yogurt. Actually had them in it. You really enjoyed the chocolate muffin (more like chocolate cake).

Then we went to Samitivej Hospital which is a gorgeous hospital that overly employs hundreds friendly smiling and helpful staff. It really is a five star hospital. We saw your brother or sister again. You actually watched the ultrasound with dad on a 42 inch plasma.

We messed up your schedule and walked you all over the city. You were such a trooper. You just napped when you could but mostly you had a great time watching all the life go by. Mom and Dad learned knew things about transporting strollers up stairs, riding on the Skytrain with shopping and baby, and how much Thai's LOVE babies (you were a hit).

We then went up to Chiang Mia to get out of Bangkok.

At the hospital you have a great time playing in the playhouse. This was after the shots too ... such a brave girl!

Dinner at the Ginger House .. mmm thai food!

In the crib ... go to sleep!

That does not count!

You love the shower ...

Both square and circular showers!

Oh my. You are just too darn adorable, E. You and Davis would have an absolute BLAST playing together. Ya'll are doing things so much alike (except for the talking thing, Davis doesn't say much). Also, WOO-HOO, you get to be a BIG sister (so exciting), and she'll always be the LITTLE sister. XOXOXO Miss you...
