Bangkok Week 616

April 16, 2020

Master Arlo turns 7 months this week! And he tries whole boiled egg, avocado, and (his fave) mango for the first time. What a week of sheltering at home!

"Welcome to a new week!"

Mr. Innocent, pretending like there's nothing wrong with this picture.

Enjoying a morning stroll around the dining room.

Arlo's first battle with a whole boiled egg. The egg won.

Musician Arlo has finally figured out what the xylophone is for. Eating.

Puckering up...

... and going in for the kiss.

The xylophone is also a great arm rest.

Raiding his own toy box.

Evening walk... but who's wearing Arlo?

Celebrating the end of another long week with our new favorite cuisine: Tibetan!

Saturday morning, a surprise call to Granny and Grandpa: au natural.

Having a good laugh with the boy in the screen.

Arlo's new favorite food: ripe yellow mango!

If it were up to him, he'd eat an entire mango in one sitting!

The boy can't crawl yet, but that doesn't mean he can't get around.

Getty Museum challenge accepted: Madonna and Child with Two Hermit Saints by Bernardino Fungai.

This is what Arlo thought of the whole exercise.

Getting some Sunday morning sun.

"Wow. Just wow, Mum. I've never seen anything like this!"

Checking out the tiny pie-faced boy in the mirror.

Easter and Songkran breakfast from Conkey's.

"Wait. Am I missing out on something?"

Arlo's getting very adept at spinning and rolling his way around on the floor.

Exhibit A: hanging out with Dad under the couch.

Subject has yet to learn proper use of couch.

"Happy Songkran! Happy Easter! Hope we can celebrate soon!"

Almost crawling?? Nah.

Mango: the highlight of the weekend.

Yum yum yum!

Monday morning: mesmerized by... the green.

Social distancing day N: just stack 'em all!

Why not play with all the stacking toys at once?

Despite the cancellation of Songkran, we still got wet!

Arlo celebrates his 7-month birthday in isolated style!

7 months of quality use of his chair!

Birthdays are a double-edged sword around here. Arlo has mixed memories of this place.

Yep, now Arlo remembers why he's cautious about this hospital business.

"Mum. Something doesn't look quite right!"

Lounging around, recovering from his flu shot.

"What's this? Birthday tofu?"

"I love it!"

Poor Arlo, has to hang out with Mum while she takes calls.

Well-rested, and getting some morning exercise.

Push-ups! How many reps today?

Mr. Long sees no reason to wear a diaper if he's not going out.

Entertaining himself in the study.

Here we go; a new food today!

He can't help but help feed himself.

Quite content with the avocado. Passes the taste test, and feels great on the hands.

"Gee whiz! More?"

Hamming it up for the camera.

Jumperoo is still a great way to enjoy the afternoon.

See the urgency to crawl and sit up?

Someone's plotting something. We'll have to wait and see what next week!
