Every time I say "happy new year" Trey laughs. It absolutely cracks me up. I find myself saying it a lot because he thinks it is so funny. That and "oh oh" are the two funniest things I can say to him.
Not much to report from here. We have been pretty mellow the past few days but having so much fun. We finally found the real Botanical Gardens today. It is a very pretty area that once you walk in the honks subside and you feel yourself relaxing. There are 2 peacocks in there. Rumor has it 2 baboons too but I didn't see them. Nor did I see any flowers. But oh well, anyplace you can go and not hear constant honking is beautiful by me!
We seemed to have started a baby happy hour most afternoons. At about 4ish most days we all end up in our common area and pull out all the toys (thank goodness for the other families as Trey doesn't have very many toys to share!). They all play and run wild for about an hour. It is hysterical!
We had a big moment tonight. Trey crawled!!!!! He has been scooting since we met, and started getting up on all fours not long after but never tried to crawl. I could tell yesterday he was starting to think about it. I had vowed to kick his legs out if he tried it so I wouldnt have to worry about it on the plane ride back. So tonight we got back from dinner and he was playing on the bed. He kept getting up on all 4 and staring at the tv. All of a sudden wham, crawled! He made it just through two crawls (not sure how to phrase that) and tipped over. We will see how well he does tomorrow. Tonight's picture was taken just after the crawling celebration. As you can tell, he doesn't see what the big deal is!
Hope everyone had a wonderful new years. Cheers to a great 2008!

Oh man, I can't believe I missed that. I tried so hard to get him to crawl before I left, if only to make your flight home more fun! ;-) Other than the honking horns, I really wish I was still there with you - hugs and mucho love, KT
Cindy and Trey: Happy New Year! Trey; the sitting still for an hour in the jogger will be an easy resolution to keep! I am having so much fun reading your blog. Glad the outfit sorta fit. Can't wait for the next edition of Trey in Vietnam - hope it reads Trey on plane to Minneapolis.
Hugs to you both, Candace

I was listening to the radio this afternoon and heard about a women who has been stuck in China adopting her daughter since Nov 7! But she had many complications that I know you don't have to worry about but it just made me think of you. You have been a constant in my prayers. I hope you and Trey can come home fast and safe!
Happy New Year! I miss you and love you both!

p.s. Nicki and I love to see the soccer ball with Trey. He is going to be a soccer stud!
Geez, does that boy ever take a bad picture? Too cute...
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year from the Johannings! I just had a chance to catch up on your last two weeks - what adventures you've been having. I know you'd rather be home, but when you are home soon and it's 4 below and it's too much work to bundle up and leave the house - you'll look back at this time fondly! Hang in there, enjoy that great food and we'll keep hoping for that I600!! Karen
Hey Cinday.
Sounds like Katie's excellent training paid off! Sorry she couldn't see it in person... Trey's picture of his crawling moment is priceless...
Sounds like you are having fun with the other famlies and Trey is getting in some awesome play time.
Still praying you get home soon. Although some of your home-town friends make it sound quite chilly!
Hugs and happy new year (HA HA HA-laughing with Trey)
Love Bird
Hi Cindy and Trey! We are missing you but we love reading about your adventures! Can't wait for you to return home to us. So exciting to hear about Trey's crawling! He is so proud to show you his stuff, isn't he?! I love it! Better secure a babysitter for May 4 - it is Wells Fargo time! We miss you guys!
