A Wakeful and Happy Ethan!

Bright Eyed and bushy tailed!


Scary pic of me with braids to keep cool in the ridiculous Taiwan heat.

We are excited to share the news with you.

Today, Ethan and I went to the hair salon to get my hair put in braids. ( it is ridiculously hot and humid and I'm constantly drenched in sweat so the braids are so much cooler.)

Ethan went in the stroller (pushchair for the UK folk) and he was bright eyed and bushytailed. My hair took amost 3 hrs to braid and all the while Ethan was staring out at the world around him and flirting with the hairdressers. He made a few noises to let me know when he was hungry but other than that he was happy entertaining himself.

Then, we met up with Donna and the 3 of us when to lunch. Ethan still was as alert and playful as ever.

Afterwards, we went back home and A-ma came over to chat with Donna and I. We put Ethan into his bouncy chair ( while we chatted away) and he bounced and waved his arms about for a good 30-45 minutes! How exciting for Mommy and A-ma.

Ethan was awake for most of the day- 10am-3pm. It's now 5pm and he's been napping for the past two hrs . He's nursing now and will probably fall back to sleep.

What a marvellous day!
