Our 8th day in China/October 23rd

Hey everyone!!  I don't really have a whole lot of exciting info to pass on.  Our day today was in the words of Connor Keith Lynch "pretty lame".  Ha I don't know where he ever heard that but he is always thinking everything is lame;)  We really didn't do too much today.  We went down to breakfast and when we were done we just headed up to the room for a bit.  We headed out on the town around 11.  We went to our favorite place the RT Mart! We just walked around and looked for the lack of anything better today.  We ended up getting Brennan a few things and headed to McDonalds for some ice cream.  Brennan had his first ice cream.  He wasn't a hundred percent for sure at first but of course he ended up liking it.  He seems to like most everything!!

When we came back to the room B was ready for a nap.  He has been taking a 3 to 4 hour nap everyday.  By the time he woke up it was supper time.  We ordered pizza and ate on the bed.  (I have spent more time sitting on a bed this week then I think I have in my entire life)  Guess what?  Yes Brennan likes pizza too;)  We decided for something to do we would go down to the hotel lobby and get some ice cream.  We had got some the other night and we almost died when they said it was something like 130RMB.  Thats like 20 US dollars.  All we got was 2 ice cream bars.  I guess being bored made it worth having a reason to go downstairs again,  We ate it in the lounge area and just let B free down there.  We were the only people down there so he could roam and explore.  When we came back to the room I gave Brennan a bath and it was time for bed.  It was a fairly uneventful day but we still enjoyed it.  It has been nice to not have much to do and just play with B all day.

You guys should see how funny he is.  He is loving to play and remembering the things that we play together and initiating these things.  Like he loves to put his forehead up against Keiths and push really hard and Keith will act like he is falling over.  Anytime his face is close to Keith he will push his little forehead against his daddy's.  He also LOVES to be upside down.  If he's sitting on your lap he will lean backwards so you will put him upside down.  Its just funny how in a couple days he has learned so many things and remembers everything.  Today he was playing with this little toy car and he was playing with Keith and hitting him with it.  I turned my head and heard a loud konk.  He had smacked Keith in the head with it really hard this time.  I asked Keith if he was alright and he said man that one really hurt.  When I turned around his forehead was bleeding.  It was the funniest thing ever.  I don't know if it is exhaustion or what but I am so slap happy it's not even funny.  I can not stop laughing over anything and everything.  It has made for an interesting day;)

We are leaving to fly to Guangzhou today.  I think our flight leaves around 1pm,  We will be sad to say goodbye to Nanchang.  We will forever be indebted to this place and it will always hold a special place in our hearts.  We are so ready for a change of scenery and to do some shopping. I have a lot of souvenirs to buy.  I have had so many requests for ninja throwing stars.  I don't want to disappoint:)  My next post should be from Guangzhou!!

 Here he is terrorizing the hotel lobby during our ice cream time

 Isn't this picture hilarious.  It was taken at the police station.  I am assuming probably for his passport.  Anyways, they made me stand him on a chair so they could take his picture.  He kept looking at me like what is going on.  His expression is pretty priceless!

 Nap time!!!

How goofy is this guy!!  He is always just making us laugh with all the silly things he is doing.  Today he has really found his voice.  He is chattering constantly.  I can't wait to see what all he will learn in the next few weeks bc he is changing and learning so quickly.  Is it wrong though that I kind of want him to stay exactly like this?;)

My videos haven't been working right on the blog so check the FB page bc I am going to post some on there.  I have a couple that are too cute to keep to myself!

Mags, Connor, and Sam,
We are missing you guys so much but we know you are doing well and having so much fun with your grandmas.  This weekend you get to stay with Aunt April too.  That will be so much fun!  We are going on an airplane today.  I will take lots of pictures for you Connor.  Grandma told me Cyborg has been acting crazy while daddy and I have been gone.  What are you guys feeding that crazy cat?  Try to keep him under control for us!  We love you so much.  Count how many links are left on our chain so you can tell me how many days we have left when I call you in a few hours!
