Bangkok Week 634

August 20, 2020

Our little monkey is not so little anymore: he completes his 11th month this week! He has another friend’s birthday party. And he starts a new swimming class, in a new level!

Hello and welcome to another week! And guess what?

Master Arlo turns 11 months today!

Uh oh! Only one month left in this little monkey's first year! How did that happen?

Outtake: "Arlo, where's the fan?"

Outtake: ooh, look at these nice flowers Dad made!

Rainy end-of-birthday walk around the neighborhood.

Wondering where his stroller is.

Mr. Bashful welcomes the weekend.

Wefie at the couch (one of Arlo's favorite places to stand).

Standing tall, and modeling one of his new 18-month onesies.

Lots of weekend traffic to watch!

Arlo and Dad are good sports again, as Mum gets in her gym time.

Patiently waiting for Mum in the gym lounge.

These bars are excellent to lean on while standing!

Snack break!

Back at home, and enjoying an afternoon story.

Aha! Arlo has finally figured out how to use his walker for stability.

Arlo likes all books. Including the kind that only has words.

Funny faces!

Off to Donki to check out the Farmer's Market.

Our Saturday night feast this week is spicy Indian, from -- you guessed it -- Spicy by Nature.

Happy Sunday!

Keeping a watchful eye on the passers-by.

There's a big, toothy smile!

Weekly weigh-in!

Snack break. And that third hand makes its appearance.

Yum yum! Mulberry yoghurt!

The pinnacle of the weekend: Arlo's friend Alba's first birthday party!

Running away from the birthday girl.

Happy Birthday!

That's right: what a polite guest. Licking all the birthday girl's balls.

His first encounter with balloons in the wild.

Mr Sociable: he'd rather play with the guests' stroller wheels.

Uh oh! Someone's getting tired!

And out for a 5pm nap.

Great view of the tall Millenium Residence towers!

Giving William a talking-to: explaining what Monday is.

Playing with his prize from the party.

Mr. Serious, at his watch post.

That's one way to read a book.

All things Canada: cherries and avocados...?

It's that time of the year again: immigration photos season!

This year, we have a new star in all our family photos!

Trying to win us over with his funny face.

Honk!

Yay! Swimming again!

New term, new class: Arlo's with the big kids in the 12-18 month group this time.

Um, Arlo. If you're going to be in the big kid's class, you have to follow the instructions.

He's enjoying himself!

Oh no! A new challenge! Stand on the ledge, and fall in!

Okay, Arlo is a pro at falling.

We can do this big-boys class! Until next week!
