Bangkok Week 590 October 17, 2019 This week, we celebrate Arlo’s one-month birthday, and his exceptional weight (and height) gain over the past 28 days. View fullsize Good morning, says Master Arlo. View fullsize Reading his tactile fruit book together. View fullsize He's fascinated by the boy that stares at him from inside the pear. View fullsize Hanging out with Dad. View fullsize We couldn't resist going for one last J meal at Zen. View fullsize Fortunately, or unfortunately, we've found a way to eat dinner together in peace. View fullsize Enjoying the early Saturday sun. View fullsize Living dangerously: no covers on the couch, while we wash all the stains out of them! View fullsize It's another sleepy morning! View fullsize Wait, why am I still awake? View fullsize Arlo's first trip to Gateway Ekkamai - and notably, its foodcourt. View fullsize Looking for some shade for him. But Dad said this hat was "too girly". View fullsize "Playing" on (accidentally whacking) his gym. View fullsize Trying the colic hold... unfortunately, it only tried his patience even more! View fullsize Finally asleep. I guess we have to sleep here tonight! View fullsize Starting Sunday morning Facetiming with Granny and Grandpa. View fullsize Arlo in his "new" (i.e. accidentally dyed) outfit. View fullsize Catching some snuggle time with dad. View fullsize Arlo's first trip to Big C! View fullsize A fun visit by Vee, Peung, and P'Kate. View fullsize Kate enjoyed Arlo's under-the-sea mat! View fullsize "Look at my long legs, mum!" View fullsize Sleepy time again! View fullsize Happy first month, Arlo! View fullsize Looking at all the great views from his chair. View fullsize Doesn't seem to want to hang out with Mum this morning. View fullsize Road trip! Heading to Mum's office on this public holiday, while the roads are clear. View fullsize First time visiting Mum's office. View fullsize To say he was enthusiastic would be... an overstatement. View fullsize Ah. Comfortable now that we're back at home. View fullsize Mr. Crab gives Arlo big eyes... and he gives them right back. View fullsize Hello, Mr. Crab! View fullsize Why does Mr. Octopus seem so far away? View fullsize Wondering if tummy time is for him. View fullsize Ahh. Now this is what tummy time is for! View fullsize Hmm. We tried to go to the Pocket Park, but it was closed, despite being nowhere near 6pm. View fullsize So, we'll go to Donki Mall instead, at the risk of overstimulation. View fullsize The new, bouncy normal, for dinnertime. View fullsize Good Tuesday morning, everyone. View fullsize Someone's not enjoying his morning face wipe. View fullsize He hasn't yet figured out that the toys on his chair are for his enjoyment. View fullsize Our first outing entirely on our own: we're off to his Bumps and Babies "playgroup". View fullsize Enjoying himself in the comfort of many other Under-1s. View fullsize I do love me this curious, wide-eyed face!! View fullsize "Why hello, everyone!" View fullsize A nice long afternoon nap... on poor Dad, who's supposed to be working! View fullsize This is how bad habits are formed! View fullsize A day late (because he fell asleep early yesterday): we celebrate Arlo's 1-month birthday with a mochi ball. View fullsize Engaging with the Fox rattle that P'June brought him. View fullsize What did I say about the new normal? View fullsize Aww, what a sweet face. Who can be cross with this guy, even if he does wake up so often in the night? View fullsize Good morning to the gentlemen in my life! View fullsize "Hi, Mum! What exciting plans do we have for today, Mum?" View fullsize "What!? The Doctor!? Again?" View fullsize Before and after: visiting the doctor for his Day 5 check-up, and his 1-month check-up. View fullsize He's actually enjoying himself this time! View fullsize Arlo's pleased that he gained 1.9 kg (4.1 lbs) and 7 cm (2.8 in) since his last visit. View fullsize Patiently waiting for Mum's doctor's appointment now. View fullsize And for this commercial break: an update on Arlo's lime trees. View fullsize "Look at my cute outfit! It's almost too small, and I only now started wearing it!" View fullsize And for our Thursday adventure: heading over to Ari to visit Addison and her mum. View fullsize It's Arlo's first time Ari, and my first since we moved out in April 2018!! View fullsize Determined to convince us that he needs a newer, bigger bassinet soon. View fullsize "Why, hey there, ladies!" View fullsize Getting some Vitamin D with Dad. View fullsize Okay, 5 weeks into this, and we're finally figuring out bath time. View fullsize "See all of you next week!"
