Time flies

The days are flying by and everyday there are little changes in Daniel. He's sleeping much better now and even taking some naps. As well, he doesn't need to be constantly held. I think it's because he's becoming a but more used to everything and a bit more relaxed. Yesterday he almost lifted up on all fours. I'm sure he'll be crawling very soon. He also does this nodding thing when you sing to him - kind of like a little head bop.

Today we went to the Jade Emperor Pagoda. It was quite spectacular. It's a Buddhist and Taoist temple built by the Chinese. There were incense sticks burning at every alter and also offerings of fruit and flowers. People would come in and light the incense sticks at the alter of their choice and hold them in front of their foreheads in a prayer for a few minutes and then stick them in the containers with the rest of the burning sticks. It is an incredibly ornate temple but unfortunately the symbolism of everything was completely lost on me. It was just really neat and smelled good.

For dinner we ordered delivery from Chez Guido's on Leslie's suggestion. At first when I saw they had 250 items I wondered how good could this be but I must say it was delicious. I ordered a hot and sour soup which rivalled that of Tangerine's and a Hawaiian Pizza - wood burning thin crust (still getting cravings even though the SAP project is over) Dave ordered a curry fish and fried vegetables with pesto - all for about $15, including delivery and tip) It probably sounds gross but it was really good. www.chezguido.com If you check out the menu $1 = 18000 dong

Looks like we may be leaving here on Saturday. It's not hard to get used to this lifestyle of lounging with baby, eating and shopping so I'm a bit sad about it but I guess the sooner we get him home the better.
