Guangzhou...

We arrived here yesterday early afternoon. The plane ride was short, but not the easiest trip for Kayla. As we expected would happen, she's cutting her first tooth. Not the happiest baby on the block, but she's trying to put on a brave face. Right now she's very much a mama's girl. This is not so easy on Bobby since it's just come about all of the sudden. Of course, I'm sure this is a phase and with patience and persistence he'll be a favorite in her book in no time. Today we decided he will only do the "fun" stuff until she accepts him better. Maybe it's a good thing I'm putting this in writing so he doesn't think he'll get out of diaper duty for good.

Our room is beautiful here in the China Hotel. The rooms have just been refurbished (and Kayla initiated the new furniture already, so sorry to anyone staying in this room later!). The bathroom has an automatic shade that you can raise in case you want to take a hot bath and watch TV at the same time. And, each room is provided with two gas masks in case of emergencey (yep, you read that right.) There's a Starbucks downstairs (fivebucks is good in any language). We've eaten MC D's more than I have all year because it's conveniently located around the corner and you can order by pointing. The room service is also good and not very expensive. I'm getting very spoiled, so it's good that it is almost time to come home.


And, here's the stylin' Kayla...

She is absolutely gorgeous. I hope your trip back to Jax is easier than the one to Guangzhou.
