Who says you can't have champagne brunch with a kid?

Hai is all over his cold/ear infection as of yesterday and the fever is all gone. He's a very happy boy these days. Yesterday we got up and played for a while (Uncle Jaap has the playing thing down pat :) and then we all got dressed and went to the Sofitel for brunch again. We weren't sure how Hai would do there, but he's a pretty mellow little kid so we were hopeful. We took the stroller as we thought he might like to hang out in that during lunch (great suggestion from Maria).

Hai hung out in the stroller and they strategically faced our table right next to the two guitarist that were playing and Hai loved that. Grandma will be proud of his love of music! Eventually he went to sleep in the stroller during the music and had his afternoon nap. We managed to have a lovely brunch and spent most of the day just hanging out together.

Hai is crawling a few steps when he's on the floor. I suspect he'll be fully mobile by the time we get home. Just in time to determine if my baby proofing really worked...

Today we've been up since 5am. Not because Hai was awake, but because both Jaap and I couldn't sleep anymore. I think it was the vindaloo we had for dinner.

This week we should get Hai's passport on Tuesday and then it's just the waiting game with the US Embassy to bring us back for our last interview and give us Hai's visa so we can come home. Fingers crossed we'll be home by next week!

Love you all!
