Bangkok Week 603

January 16, 2020

Little Arlo turns 4 months this week, and gets to visit the doctor to celebrate. Lucky boy! And lucky Mum and Dad to have such a healthy, long little troublemaker!

Welcome to another week!

Arlo is still rolling over uncontrollably. He probably wants to crawl too, but we're not quite there yet.

Mesmerized by either his shorts, the sunlight on his legs, or both!

Looking a bit worried by this whole Facetime thing.

Finally figured out what this brush is for!

Another example of rolling without regard for his surroundings!

Happy to be with Dad.

Enjoying his Jumperoo.

Trying his hardest to behave in his high chair, while Mum & Dad eat breakfast.

Just hanging out with dad on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

"Hey, look at me! I got here on my own!"

"Sleeping in" on Sunday morning.

Reading the latest issue of the BAMBI magazine.

Ending up in Dad's lap after a short stint in the high chair.

Sunday morning trip to our new favorite grocery store: Tesco Lotus Rama 4.

Arlo helped with the veggies.

Back at home, and reenergized after his nap in the stroller & car.

Trying the high chair again at lunch time. It's all about the right mood!

Enjoying his Jumperoo.

Who knew it's also a great teething toy.

And lounging around on his tummy time elephant.

Now that he's a bit older, it really does help him stay up for longer.

"Hi there, everyone!"

It's also helpful to bring him closer to his play gym! Suddenly, the toys are so easy to grab!

Fun afternoon with Dad!

And singing songs with Mum. He likes some more than others!

Smiling with Dino.

Sunday night dinner: all home-made!

Enjoying the textures of Bronwyn's blanket.

Warming up for his first-ever swim lesson (!), by practicing his rolls.

Nervous on his drive over to the pool: what's going on guys?

Arlo's still not sure what everyone is excited about!

Getting ready for our first class!

Getting used to the water a few minutes before class starts.

Our class is small: only 4 students (and parents).

Arlo doesn't seem to mind having his ears submerged; although it's hard to argue that he enjoyed it, either!

Waiting for our next challenge.

Mum's having fun! But... is Arlo?

"Swimming" on his tummy, through the water fountain.

And more time on his back, to submerge his ears.

Phew! Back home and on dry land!

"Dad!! What's William doing up on your head, Dad!?"

A lazy Tuesday morning in PJ.

"Hi guys! What's wrong with PJs?"

Skyping with Granny and Grandpa from the comfort of the floor.

Happy 4-month birthday, Arlo! You're our sweet little boy with some rad hair!

4 months already!

How come these celebrations always come with a visit to the doctor?, he wonders.

He was a trooper, and is recovering well after his 2 shots + oral vaccine.

"You guys are so silly! I don't look anything like my 1-month self anymore!"

"Arlo and his Tongue" is how we might title the 36 hours that followed his doctor's visit.

Even Captain Arlo sticks out his tongue! Good thing his passengers can't see him.

Practicing his rolls (and resulting tummy time) once again.

Using his noise-reducing earmuffs while the AC technicians were drilling and making loud noises.

Mr. Long, lounging on his couch.

Hanging out with Mum.

And having a serious chat with Dad.

Arlo can fly!!!

"Hey, wait a minute. How come Hudson is wearing all my stuff?"
