The last one for today...

Things I didn't mention yet...

Since about a week she became a real baby, not just the one that sleeps and eats. She is awake for several hours a day and now loves to take. Caroline has about 15 different sounds, some of them even sound Dutch so she is already a multi lingual baby ;) Also she loves to smile at her parents, it is just great to see your own baby smile at you every day.

Since her birth she doubled her weight in about two months and so now she is way over 6 kg. Last Tuesday when the nurse measured her she was 57 cm tall. Also she has more room for braincells as her head became bigger as well.

Fellow teachers had a baby over a year ago (their daughter knows how to say Caroline very well) and so she does not fit in their swing anymore therefor they gave it to Caroline and she loves it!

The other day we went for noodles as the weather was so beautiful and afterwards to the market. Now people in Chengdu put 7 layers on and this goes the same for babies. This is because they do not use any heater. In our place it is nice and warm and so Caroline only has two or three layers on. While we were walking people were saying that she must be cold while I was responding in my best Chinese that she is not. One woman even came under her shirt to check if she was warm enough... strange people!
