Bangkok fun! ..and Sophie has her 1st plane ride


We just came back from a fun weekend in Bangkok. I have to admit that I was a bit apprehensive bringing our little bean onto a 2 hour plane ride ..she's not even 3 months yet! On the plane ride there, Sophie was a happy bean except for the time we tried to place her into her basinet. She gave us smiles for like 5 minutes before she started her eek eeks :p


In Bangkok, we checked out a few new eats. The risotto at Biscotti's , Italian at Four Seasons Hotel rocked! We met up with Jimmy and Gail for a good Thai spread at Cabbages and Condoms. We walked till my shoulders ache (from baby bjorn-ing Soph) while looking for Crepes and Co.(the address on the website said Sukumvit Soi 18 but it was actually Soi 12!) The crepe base was good but 300 baht per crepe seemed a bit exorbitant. We also discovered pretty good cakes from Lenotre, a cafe opposite the Mayfair Bangkok where we were staying.




Our little bean was fairly well behaved..we took her everywhere..we walked the crowd infested chatuchak and mbk. We strolled the street markets of Pratunam and even paid a visit to the nursing room at Central mall. Jin and I had to do tag team for our massage sessions , we managed a massage everyday we were there :)



We spent a fair amount of time in the bangkok cabs and thus had plenty of time taking pictures while stuck in the infamous Bangkok jams.



In between all the running around, we found time to capture our little bean in the hotel.

Here's her having her tummy time



And her having sweet dreams on her make-shift bed on the hotel couch



And her attempting to hold her own milk bottle :D (with tons of coaxing from me of course..hee)




The 4 day fun ended too soon :(..Sophie was quite the darling on the plane ride home..she was mostly awake but did not eek eek..I think she was happy playing with Jin :)
