The group went to the Chongqing Zoo for some bonding time with our children. As you may know, China is famous for the Giant Pandas. The zoo is home to four of these Giant Pandas. The pandas love to eat bamboo. Marie, our tour guide, told us that a panda on average can eat about 44 lbs. of bamboo per day. That's a lot of bamboo!
Chongqing is called the "Mountain City" because it's very hilly. It reminds us a lot of Colorado. Just walking around the zoo, you could feel the elevation. By the end of the tour, your legs were tired from climbing up and down the terrain.
Duo Duo is doing very well. She cries when she's hungry. She cries when she's wet. She cries when she's tired. She acts just like a normal baby.
This afternoon, several of the ladies are going for a massage, and the guys will be taking care of the little ones. We are fortunate that we have had parenting experience before. Most of the couples in our group comment of how calm we are when Duo Duo cries. It seems that some of the guys are stresssing out being first time dads. Well, it was same way for us when Jonathan was first born over 15 years ago. We think most of them are doing a great job being parents for the first time.

Simon, are you going to feed her a bottle every time she cries regardless of the reason why she's crying? Do it so she'll be a fat baby like Jonathan was!
