Bangkok Week 591 October 24, 2019 The week Arlo visits some of Bangkok’s nicer green spaces; and otherwise, keeps on growing! View fullsize Arlo shows off how tall he is / how soon he'll outgrow his bassinet. View fullsize A semi-smile for dad? View fullsize What a sleepy day! View fullsize Dad's flat chest is best for napping! View fullsize Another trip to Big C in the books! View fullsize It's there where we spotted these creepy Witch Finger grapes! View fullsize Happy Friday! Cheers to the weekend! View fullsize Another dinner with Arlo. I thought it would get *MORE* comfortable after he was born! View fullsize This is basically my dinner view these days. View fullsize Saturday morning: the new morning ritual is a Vitamin D walk around the moo baan with Dad. View fullsize Enjoying the Saturday morning sun. View fullsize Uh oh! Off on another car trip. View fullsize This time, to pick up a stroller and stroll in Benjakitti Park. View fullsize It's a nice little green (and blue) oasis in the middle of Asoke. View fullsize There's a great walking/running/cycling path around the lake... which Arlo doesn't quite appreciate yet. View fullsize We were warned... but alas, no sightings! View fullsize He's grown into his chair (in size), but not yet in enthusiasm. View fullsize Hmm. Why am I the only one not sleeping? View fullsize Meeting some of Mum's colleagues, but not doing a very good job entertaining! View fullsize What's the fuss? View fullsize In his Sunday red (i.e. his big-boy shirt) and getting his Vitamin D. View fullsize Not quite ready to get up (even though he can't sleep past 6!) View fullsize Wearing a shirt and pants automatically adds a month to his age! View fullsize He's not thrilled to be sharing the back of the car with his new bed! View fullsize All set up and ready for him to grow into it in another 4-5 months! View fullsize This was one of the longest sleeps he did while strapped to Mum! 2+ hours at home, and then another 2+ while we were out shopping! View fullsize Yummy lunch at our new favorite Japanese restaurant, with our guests from Trat. View fullsize The folks at Donki are feeling punny about Halloween. View fullsize Top only stayed for a few hours; so he made the most of his visit. View fullsize Matching hair! View fullsize K. Yaa can't believe how much Arlo has grown since she last saw him 3+ weeks ago. View fullsize K. Yaa, the entertainer. View fullsize Lucky us! Look at all the home-made dishes that came up from Trat! View fullsize Our evening feast. View fullsize Good night, Yaa. See you in the morning! View fullsize Morning Vitamin D walk, with a special guest! View fullsize And a morning chat. View fullsize Wearing his patriotic best, for his Thai Passport appointment. View fullsize Here we are at the special MRT Klong Toey passport office - very convenient! View fullsize There was quite the mass of people -- but because we made an appointment online, we could bypass all of them! View fullsize In and out in 28 minutes*, and now on our way back home! View fullsize Relaxing after the morning out, and showing off the remnants of his toe print (the signature substitute for babies). View fullsize Hanging out with K. Yaa again. View fullsize "Mum! Take me back!" View fullsize Just lying by himself and enjoying the outside views. View fullsize Taking time to admire the handsome baby in the mirror before his bath. View fullsize Tuesday morning: Arlo's looking really long in K. Yaa's lap. View fullsize Modeling the super-cute outfit from Lorrie & Colin. View fullsize He likes it! View fullsize Hanging out with Dad before work. View fullsize Still unsure if he enjoys his tummy time. View fullsize Uh oh! Just Arlo and Mum going out for a drive! He looks worried - rightly! View fullsize We came for Baby Massage, but it was unusually small turnout* and the 2 babies (8 and 5 weeks old) had enough of the massage after the legs. View fullsize Arlo spent more time chilling on my knees than he did getting a massage. View fullsize Arlo posing with his friend, the baby massage dummy. View fullsize Back at home: he's getting pretty good at holding up his head. View fullsize Quick! Spot Arlo! View fullsize Time for the morning Vitamin D stroll with K. Yaa again! View fullsize Observing the test subject. View fullsize "Hmm. I heard it's a public holiday today! What shall we do together?" View fullsize First things first: some time on the play mat! View fullsize Admiring the handsome boy in the star. View fullsize "Oh no! Not this tummy time again! And I feel like I'm being watched!" View fullsize Trying his best to play along. View fullsize Dad admires his masterpiece. View fullsize Almost the same size! View fullsize Next stop for the (holi)day: a mid-morning stroll through Benjasiri Park. View fullsize It's not too warm to picnic, while the shadow of Emporium Tower is still long. View fullsize Arlo is confused about what's going on. Usually when we're in this warm sticky weather, at least we're walking somewhere! View fullsize Enjoying lying on the mat - a different texture for a change. View fullsize Okay, maybe "enjoying" was too strong a word! View fullsize Okay, that didn't last long. Have to walk around together some more! View fullsize Another clean and peaceful mall nursing room: this one in EmQuartier. View fullsize (Early) lunch at Emporium Food Court. View fullsize Guess what was waiting for Arlo back at home!? His first passport! View fullsize K. Yaa knows how to calm down Master Arlo. View fullsize She also knows how to make delicious noodle soup from scratch! View fullsize Can you tell that there are udon noodles somewhere in there? View fullsize Thursday morning starts with a nap! (In an increasingly tight bassinet.) View fullsize "Oooh. Morning, Mum! I didn't sleep in; you just got up early!" View fullsize Posing next to the beautiful Petit Bateau PJs that colleagues from Germany generously sent. View fullsize Dad pokes and prods his research subject. View fullsize More tummy time! View fullsize Uh oh! Someone fell asleep. View fullsize Watching a sleeping Arlo is not nearly as entertaining as a Tummy Time Arlo. View fullsize Napping in one of his favorite places. View fullsize And we present the latest installment of "The Many Faces of Master Arlo." View fullsize Trying the Big Boy carrier with Dad. I think we'll wait a bit longer still. View fullsize Stopping into our favorite Matcha Cafe; it's been a while. View fullsize Playing with the worm puppet from K. Pat. View fullsize All eyes on Arlo. View fullsize Look at his strong neck! View fullsize Woah! Strong neck, Arlo! View fullsize Our neighbor 3 doors down brought not one, not two, but SIX sets of PJs for Arlo as a gift. View fullsize Talking to dad before bed time. View fullsize And we end the week with some freshly-cooked dishes for dinner. Yum!
