A not-so-busy day!

Today we were all feeling yucky and so did not go on the overnight trip. 8 hours on a bus and sleeping in a strange bed on the boat just didn't sound appealing. I hate to throw the baby's schedule off....he's sleeping so well. Today we're just hanging around the hotel and napping and playing. Eddie and little Eddie went shopping in the carrier for a few minutes and got some presents for friends and family....and that's about it! Tonight we are going to walk to a restaurant on the lake and eat with some of the other parents in our group. Tomorrow we're going to go on a day trip to Tam Coc (beautiful caves and trip on the river in a boat) and Hoa Lu (ancient capital of Vietnam during 900-1000AD). I think we can handle that and we'll be happy to be in our "own" beds.

Here are some fun facts about baby Eddie:

1. He is the most easy-going baby I've ever seen! Want to give him medicine? He opens up like a little bird. Clip his nails? No problem. Change his diaper? Great....he loves to be naked!
2. He is shy! When we are alone in our room he is smily and giggly and plays and rolls all over the place. When we go out in public he will not smile for anyone! He just rides in the carrier and observes everything.
3. His favorite position is upside-down. We discoverd this by accident, and now he wants to do it all the time (lunge his body backwards and then be pulled up by mommy or daddy). You have to watch out because we might just be calmly eating dinner and he'll just lunge backwards!
4. His favorite toy is the sack of diapers wipes....it's very crinkly.
5. He isn't crawling or sitting up yet, but he's a champion roller! He can cover the entire bed by rolling and rolling and rolling. This also makes a giant mess when toys and other stuff are on the beds.
6. He's a great sleeper! Last night he slept 12 hours with only one wake-up.....and 10 hours the night before. I hope he keeps this up!

Guess that's all for today =)
