Nine months already?

Our sweet baby Leif was born nine months ago. Is that even possible?

Here's a quick tour of his first six months...

In the hospital, one day old

Leif's Coming Home Day

One month old

Two months old with Khun Nikom and Khun Nipa

Three months, hanging with daddy

Four months, snuggling with big brother Kaj

Five months - Hi Aunt Annie!

Six months

Leaves, leaves, leaves!

Don't ask me what I am going, but at least you can see my new haircut! I was able to donate enough hair to Locks for Love for TWO wigs. That was satisfying!
We try to tell him it goes the other way, but when you're three your own ideas are what really count.


The following photos are in reverse order, so go to the bottom and scroll upward. Ah, brotherly affection!

Looking back...Loy Kratong

Today the Thais celebrate one of the coolest holidays ever - Loy Kratong! (See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loy_Krathong if you're interested). I stumbled across these photos today of Kaj from two years ago and had to share. Here Kaj was about 14 months and celebrating Loy Kratong with his little buddies at Toddler Time. Kaj loves Kinderfarm, but I will always think of Toddler Time with Caryn as his first school-like experience!

We're pleased to report our fence is in! Here you can see our favorite three-year-old nutcracker encouraging the canine to "go potty, Mingus.

Halloween!

Leif as a "Hunny" Pot - he wore this about 2.35 minutes before we determined going as a nearly nine month old might be a more manageable option
