Today was bright and sunny! No more rain off and on! We went shopping.
Mommy went for a foot massage at a professional parlor. The massage lasted 70 minutes, and was actually almost a total body massage. The staff also brought mommy fresh watermelon slices and hot tea. All this only cost RMB $48 - or USD $6. Marissa and daddy took a walk by the river, then came back and Marissa enjoyed watching. Daddy didn’t get one - he doesn’t like massages! Momm enjoyed the massage, but since she’s “tender” she had to keep saying to ease up!
Mommy got strawberry ice cream afterwards and daddy got a fresh baked pastry. Marissa still won’t take anything but her bottle, so she didn’t want any of mommy’s ice cream. Once she tastes it, that’ll change!
Daddy bought a new carrier for Marissa today. He didn’t like mommy’s and wanted something he could also carry Marissa in. It is similar to a Snugli brand. Marissa loves riding facing forward. She has to see what’s going on. Get this…the brand name is funny. It’s “Mr. Nipple.” Now, that’s love for daddy to wear it! Think she’s got him wrapped around her finger?
This afternoon before we left for the cruise we played in the White Swan Mattel playroom again. Marissa had fun sitting up to play. You can tell by her photos that she is developing those muscles quickly.
Tonight we went on a group dinner cruise. We met at 5:45 and rode a bus to the river to dock. It was fun. Daddy really enjoyed the dinner and ate things like octopus and duck, pork and chicken, different vegetables, rice dumplings…quite a variety of food and he really liked it all. Marissa was an angel. She didn’t fuss at all, even though she started to get tired. After dinner we went to the top deck and walked outside. Bright lights on tall buildings bordered the river, so Marissa was mesmerized by them. She really likes bright colors and those big eyes were absorbing everything! We got back to the hotel room at about 8:45…late for all the babies who needed to get back and take baths, then eat dinner. Marissa has now had her bottle, medicine, and bath and is sleeping next to daddy on the bed while he watchs TV.
