Bangkok Week 619

May 7, 2020

Arlo gets comfortable sitting; is on the brink of crawling; and tries cauliflower and spinach for the first time. Oh, and have we mentioned - he loves his new stroller?

We begin this week with two toys in a fist.

Enjoying some organic ants-on-a-log on this holiday Friday.

Arlo savors his plain celery.

Looking innocent for the camera... and surprised by his own shirt.

Thrilled -- just thrilled -- by his new stroller.

Loving his evening walk.

Practicing his sitting on Saturday morning.

Blocks are fun! (Says Mum.)

Looking long as he lies on the floor.

Trying out his new car seat for the first time!

Back at home after a journey well-spent, and enjoying a still-warm hot cross bun from Conkey's.

Arlo practices his selfie skillz.

Enjoying his new (used) pack-and-play.

Peek-a-boo!

Exercising his crawling muscles. Almost there!

Our weekly order-in dinner: from Rasee's Indian Restaurant again. Yum!

Sunday morning push-ups.

The tongue helps maintain stability.

He's keen to pull himself up, too.

Joining half of Bangkok to enjoy the parks, which have reopened today.

Arlo wonders why we had to come outside... it's hot.

"I prefer sitting on the living room floor, Mum."

"Standing outside makes me sweat."

Enjoying his stacking cups with Dad.

Wefie!

"Ooh. What's this green stuff? It's pretty tasty."

"Stop it. You're embarrassing me, Mum!"

Arlo's not the only one with a tongue!

Mr. Long, relaxing his legs.

Getting ready to power up his wheels again.

There are LOTS of beautiful sunflowers in bloom throughout the park!

Back at home, Arlo waits patiently while Mum makes lunch for everyone.

Yum! (Fresh bread!)

Arlo's first exposure to bubbles - our best buy from the park.

"Maybe this is the way to move forward?"

Slowly and jerkily making his way forward.

He doesn't really enjoy sitting in his chair anymore, but he likes playing with it.

Starting to drink a few sips of water.

Premium facial massage for Dad - using only the finest soft baby feet.

Matching.

Now that he's mastered water, Arlo's moved onto the good stuff.

Holiday Monday Facetime with Granny and Grandpa.

Sitting nicely.

An enthusiasm for lunch time that I won't complain about!

Yum!

More bubbly fun!

Too many blocks to choose from.

It's getting hard to take photos now, without Arlo reaching for the camera.

Talking to Yaa in Trat (which is still locked-down).

Well, that devolved quickly.

Winding down the holiday Monday with some water fun.

Splash splash!

This guy tried to come into our house. We moved him across the street, and he bee-lined straight back to our driveway.

Enjoying the fresh Tuesday morning air with Dad.

The City sent us 3 reusable face masks.

Practicing his sitting, although it looks like he's perching himself on this cup.

Oh my! How many people does it take to clean up an Arlo?

Arlo enjoys this week's farm-fresh bitter melon.

Clothing optional.

Another day, another selfie!

Practice makes perfect.

Getting quite good at the Table pose.

Ooh. Look at all the freshly steamed organic veggies for Lucky Arlo.

Trying his hand at cauliflower.

Mixed reviews...

... and it's not clear how much he ate!

Finally starting to enjoy the last box of chocolates we got from Brussels Airways in Christmas 2017. Too beautiful to eat!

Meanwhile, Alro tries spinach.

He likes it!

See you next week! Until then, we've got some clean-up to do...
