Bangkok Week 602

January 9, 2020

It’s Arlo’s first week back in Bangkok, and we pull out all the stops to keep him awake during the day, and back on Thai time!

Finally! We're home!

Arlo is excited to be back!

And he gets his last Christmas present... the one that's been waiting for him under the tree, until his neck is a little stronger.

"Woah! What's this, Mum?"

Monday morning, chatting with Yaa and Puu, now that he's back in the same time zone.

Arlo's happy that Dino made it back with him.

And Hudson Bear, too.

Look at all the friends Arlo has now. What a lucky boy he is!

He can barely stay awake while he plays with his favorite owl.

Trying out his jumperoo for the first time as well...

... although jet lag seems to be getting the better of him.

Dad tries to keep Arlo awake with some stories.

Practicing his tummy time, with his eye on the prize.

Ahh! Tuesday morning! Arlo is already feeling much more like himself!

Seeing Auntie Lydia's constellation stitching with fresh eyes, he really likes it.

Enthralled by the jumperoo's parrot, now that he sees it with fresh eyes.

He's also gotten much better with his hand coordination in recent days.

Wednesday morning, playing with the sheets on Mum & Dad's bed.

"Woah! Check out these psychedelic pants, Mum!"

Back to his face-making.

Second time around, Arlo is more comfortable in the Jolly Jumper. Although he still uses it primarily to look at the floor under his feet.

On his side: his new favorite position.

He's really starting to enjoy his jumperoo!

Taking a break to rest his neck.

The moment we've all been waiting for: Arlo sets off to roll over, from back to front.

Here it is, in 4 slow steps! Ta-daa!

Late afternoon comes around, and it's a full-blown mission to keep Arlo awake a little longer. Here, we take a face-out trip to Donki Mall.

Thursday morning, and Arlo's feeling almost back to normal again.

He's finally discovered his tactile Sophie La Giraffe ball.

Concentrating REALLY hard!

Now, he can roll over with ease! (If only he could get back as easily.)

Hugs and munches for Hudson.

Back on his tummy, as a result of a diaper change!

And enjoying a new t-shirt that Auntie Fai brought him from Chiang Mai.
