Bangkok Week 604

January 23, 2020

Master Arlo moves into his own bedroom this week, and eventually into his big-boy bed! Apart from that, he keeps rolling, and rolling, and rolling…

We're not quite ready to get out of bed yet!

Arlo investigates Dino: making sure he's the real Dino!

Like every Friday, we're off to Breastfeeding Cafe together! Although Arlo seems surprised to learn that.

Special Friday treat: lunch date, just Mum & Dad.

Someone got an extra-special birthday dessert from Greyhound.

Arlo gives us his big eyes and cute face - to make sure we never leave him again!

Singing our songs together.

Good morning and Happy Saturday!

He's increasingly able to entertain himself while riding in the car.

Mr. Monkey shows how his feet are just like another pair of hands!

All of Arlo's friends are patiently waiting on bench to be picked by him. "Pick me, pick me!"

"Oh wow, look at that parrot!"

"It's Sunday! Happy Sunday!"

Showing off his coordination and concentration.

Time for our weekly manicure!

Whoops! This chubster was taking his fine time crossing the soi, so we had to help him to the other side.

"Meh! These are not real keys, Dad!"

Pulling out all the stops to keep Master entertained.

Trying on the Beko carrier one last time. Nope, he still prefers the other one. Any other one, really.

"Woah! That's what happens when you don't nap?"

"This book is more my speed!" (Says Mum.)

"If I pull the correct finger, can I skip swimming today?"

Nope! Every Monday is swimday!

We warm up with some wheels-on-the-bus. You know what the people do!

We were supposed to grab a toy from the sideline, but Arlo used the time to send secret signals to help free him from his captors.

Why swim when you can just hang out above the water?

This might be Arlo's first signs of a smile in the water.

Starting to feel more comfortable in the water, although you might not believe it from his face.

"Are we done yet, Mum?"

First time sporting his posh outfit from Kurt & Dale.

Mum was at playgroup to sing and dance; Arlo was there to lounge.

Eating the maraca was the best he could muster.

Back at home, Arlo gets to play with his new toy.

So many beads! So many colors!

"Hi, Dad! Let me verify that it's really you, Dad!"

Dad's the perfect arm chair to lounge around and munch toys.

Target practice: find and bruise Dad's small chin!

Mr. Long shows off his length.

Our bedtime routine: in Arlo's new bedroom.

Concentrating hard on his roller coaster.

And giving his mind a break in the Jumperoo.

"Look at me! I'm a big boy!"

Waking up (at 8am!!) after the first night in his new big-boy bed!

Just hanging out on the couch, waiting for everyone else to get ready.

Old Man Dad is getting ready for the treadmill test: part of his annual checkup.

Stylish Mum gets fitted for a new pair of glasses. Those are definitely the ones!

It's an afternoon of roll-roll-rolling for Arlo!

Hey! Selfie!

Brief break to be on our back... but he prefers his tummy!

Another selfie!

"I'm getting good at this, Mum!"

"Hey there, good lookin'!"

"Mum. I lost my teething ring, Mum. Have you seen it?"

"Enough with these selfies for the week!"
