Last Day in Taiwan

Well, it's our last day in Taiwan...and it's raining. Before we left the weather reports said that it would rain everyday but it was just humid. What a blessing that we were able to walk around without having to deal with any rainy weather.

Yesterday we walked around Taipei a little. We went down to this big park called Daan Park which is only 5 minutes walking from our hotel. Grace had a lot of fun playing on the slides and climbing. We then went to find something to eat and ended up at the same dumpling place we ate at the first day in Taipei. We just happened to be on the same street. Grace was getting tired and irritable after we ate and did not want to walk. We decided we wanted to go to the small bakery down the street and offerd Grace cake if she walked...just a little bribe. She walked a little but I ended up carrying her most of the way. Back at the hotel we all had cake and went to bed.

The girls are getting along for he most part even though Grace shows signs of jealousy. When we hold Joy, Grace wants to be held. When we were feeding Joy her milk in the baby bottle, Grace wanted her milk in a baby bottle :) But Grace is "helping out" as well. She offers to feed Joy, push the buttons in the elevator and carry any bags.

Last night was a little tough. Joy did not want to sleep and we gave in and let her use her pacifier. After she fell asleep we took the pacifier and she was OK. She is also getting her teeth in so it just adds to her being uncomfortable.

Joy woke up this morning around 4 AM...so did the rest of us. She can be a rather loud alarm clock :) After she had her milk she played with her tired family on the bed. One by one, we all fell asleep there on the bed...what a family moment.

Joy is just that..a true Joy! She is very pleasant to be around and is molding into our family just fine. She makes noises when she is happy and likes to clap. Her small grin just warms your heart to the point where you would give her anything. She like to crawl and roam so we need to keep a close eye on her, she is a bit adventurous.

I will post photos when we get home as I have no way o do it here. We only took about 800 of them :)

Blessings!
