On our first day in Hong Kong last week, Peter said I shouldn’t be taking Ben to McDonalds and should be trying local food. We are now into day 8 of our trip and when we saw the golden arches last night, we made a mental note of where it was and went there today. Eight days of Asian food is good, but a cheeseburger was great.
We’ve had some amazing food – I have no idea what some of it has been and actually probably don’t want to know.
Izzy’s diet has consisted of formula and congee (rice porridge) and it is amazing to see her trying so many new tastes. She eats anything we give her (except watermelon). She is having moments of being very sad although at the moment the biggest kid in our family (Peter) is keeping her well amused. Bashing dad on the head with a stacking cup is very funny as far as Izzy is concerned. Good thing he has a hard head. We’ve even had her giggling this afternoon which is lovely.
Yesterday she wouldn’t let us put her down but this morning she sat on the floor. I don’t think she has ever crawled (probably too dirty where she was living). She tries to stand up by herself but can’t actually stand unassisted. She tries to walk if you hold her under her arms but I’d say we are many months off walking.
