CHINA - XIAN



Yesterday Gigi & I decided to go to the supermarket (when I say supermarket it is like Coles, Target, Big W etc all in one - you can buy practically anything there) & take a baby each for an outing. So we strapped them into a carrier (which was a huge production in itself - I think everyone thought we were crazy to take them) & off we went. It was a bit of a walk & quite a warm day so we were glad to finally get there. The amount of people who stopped to stare on the way & at the shop was amazing. I guess you don't see people like me carrying around a Chinese baby everyday. Gigi is Cantonese & speaks Chinese so she blends in much better than I did. We were pretty exhausted by the end of it as we had picked two of the well fed babies to take (who just so happen to be my favorites) & they got kind of heavy, so we took a taxi home. The girls were so well behaved though - Nadia slept a lot of the time but Julia was looking all around & taking it all in. She only fell asleep at the end. So maybe we've given them a taste of shopping & they'll love it as they grow up.
The second photo is of Tina - she is the cleft baby I mentioned the other day who went to the dentist. Well last night after her milk (we take the plate out to feed her as it's easier for her) I put her plate back in, she gagged & it all came back up in one big whoosh. Partly over me but mostly over herself. It looked like someone had poured a carton of milk all over her head - not an inch was missed! This photo of her is getting a bath in a bucket - when all the babies get done they take out the baby bath & have a big production line but Elise wanted to give her a bath & the tiny babies seem to like the bucket better.
