Making Do...

It is kinda funny getting used to things being different now. Even little things that I took for granted I miss so much now! Take for instance a crib or play pen. We had one of both when we were at home. Now in our hotel we have neither. We went to their little Chinese grocery store here and found something to suffice. It may seem a little silly to some of you but it actually works! (See picture #6) Damon is back to his regular sleeping schedule (sleeps through the night, and takes 2-3 naps a day), and we finally have our bed back! We were getting a little tired of being kicked in face, or off the bed. Now everyone is happy! Then the diapers. We did find some diapers in the store here too. They are okay, I just have to make sure I check Damon often. Lets say they are not as good as the ones back home. Thats probably why most of the people here do not use them. We went out last night and we saw a man carrying a young boy. The boy was naked, and the man had an apron on,...I refuse! I will just keep checking him often. And another thing. I will never complain about having a small kitchen again. A small kitchen is better than no kitchen at all. That has been the hardest thing for me. If any of you really know me you know I LOVE to EAT!! Food is one of my great joys in this life. So I will be so grateful when we come back and have a kitchen again.

Damon sure loves books!! Thanks to everyone who got them for him.

We are in trouble! Not only can he walk now, he is tall enough to get into everything!

I like this picture because you can see his lower teeth, and that his eyes are green!

Damon loves to hold the phone up to his ear.

This is it!! His new bed, crib, tent, whatever. The point is he is sleeping in it! (Take no mind to the green lace lining the top. Hey, at least it is green and not pink!)

As many of you know, it has been so hard to find shoes to fit Damon because his feet are so wide and chubby. Who would have known we could find them in China!! The best part is he loves them and will walk in them. All the other shoes we ever had for him he hated wearing.

I just thought this picture was funny. I know it is kinda bright, but that is okay. They have these really small bananas here that are perfect for Daders! As you can see they are about as big as his little hand.
