china trip: guangdong folk arts museum

China: Dec 14th

Today we enjoyed some time at the Guangdong Folk Arts Museum.

It was a lovely day and the museum was incredible, so rich with culture and art - exactly how I imagined China to be. The grounds were lovely too. We set Lilah down to walk around for a bit and she just stood there, motionless and wouldn't look at us. I think it was her way of showing us that she was rather mad!

When we got back to the hotel room she had her 'before nap' bottle and afterwards we got to change her first dirty diaper, (I can't believe I am mentioning this!), but all to say she was in really great spirits after the fact. We got so many giggles and smiles at the hotel, she feels so comfortable in our little suite, she totally lets her guard down and she's such a funny little monkey!

  1. Colin & Jill,
    She's absolutely beautiful, we love looking at her pictures. I can almost hear her laughing in some of them. She's delightful, and you both look thrilled - wonderful parents! Can't wait until you return so we can see her in person.
    Love, Carine

  10. Loved seeing the smiling photos of Lilah and to see mommy in some of them too (not that we're not enjoying seeing Lilah and daddy)! Looked like a great day; super photography. Keep 'em coming. Is Lilah eating solids? Did you figure out the bottle okay? Enjoying re-living China through your journey. Sarah
