So how is this trip going for Lina? What has she been up to? We often wonder what is going on in her head. Does she know we're on a trip? Is she wondering why every day is so different and crazy now (no more disciplined schedule!)? Only God knows!
We know she definitely misses the people that she is constantly around - her grandparents, her aunts and uncles, and of course her cousins. Her cousin Noah is only two months older than her - she used to see him several times a week until the Lee family moved to Kansas City recently. I brought along some home videos (short clips) on the laptop and on DVDs on this trip, and she often points to the people she recognizes (esp. the kids!) and wants to see them! We think she's heart-sick over her cousins/friends! I'm no psychologist, but I'm pretty sure the distinction between video and reality is probably still kind of blurry. It's like she wants to jump into the video and play with Noah! Today Liz's mom (Lina's maternal grandmother) arrived in Taipei as well and Lina was beside herself!
She also misses her crib! She has a nice crib at home. We are traveling with a light pack 'n play crib, which she likes too, but she definitely misses her spacious bed at home. We've come across a couple cribs in department stores and changing rooms and she goes crazy trying to get in them.
Otherwise, she is being herself. Roaming around places, making random noises, and smiling and pointing at dogs and other babies. Here are some random pics of her playing around town (in Tokyo).
