Bangkok Week 738

August 18, 2022

This week, we enjoy a long weekend (thanks to Mother’s Day), celebrate a friend’s 3rd birthday, and Miss Lucy finally rolls over from back to tummy!

Is this the week Lucy is going to finally roll over?

She's certainly itching to! Let's see what happens.

Today is a holiday. In fact, it's Mother's Day.

Dad and Arlo ordered Paul's croissants for everyone for breakfast. Yum!

And then, it's off for a special Friday morning visit to the park.

Lucy's wondering what's off. It's not Saturday!

Mum and her babies on Mother's Day.

Lucy hangs out with Dad, while Mum and Arlo run around.

Check out this giant leaf!

Arlo's working on his grip strength.

We'd intended for him to scoot *in* the skate park, but Arlo preferred to scoot *around* it.

And watching some basketball before heading out.

There's a new vegan grocery store and restaurant right on Sukhumvit.

Popping in on the way home, to grab some pantry items.

Lucy enjoys the seated view.

Bouncy bouncy bouncy!

Late afternoon trip to the veggie store. Arlo's got the shopping satchel.

Making himself at home at the veggie store.

And oh my! A green-topped Mini car in the next soi. What a treat!

The ladies, hanging out.

Lucy has the will to move forward. But not quite the way.

Nom-nom-nom. What a fluffy ball.

Looking a little annoyed. Tired of lying on the ground, Lucy?

Joining us at the table for breakfast.

Arlo's sitting next to Dad, which means Lucy can sit at the head of the table.

Oh! Saturday swimming this week -- that's special.

Everyone doing some tummy time together.

And where are we going tonight?

For a special dinner out with Arlo's friends Sally and her family, and Ronan and his family.

Wow! They brought duplos to play with. Check out this one!

Happy Sunday morning! Lucy knows we have something special planned today.

But what's the occasion? Why is Arlo dressed so spiffily for breakfast?

Lucy's getting some gym time in before we go.

These danglies are getting too easy.

Lucy's ready, in her Sunday best...

... for Alba's 3rd birthday party!

Lucy's attending her first birthday party, too.

Arlo's pleased to be able to wear his suit again.

And he did a number on this chocolate cake... all by himself.

Lucy practices her standing.

Trying to get a photo of all the kids altogether.

Well, at least Arlo and Lucy did their part.

After 3 hours, Arlo finally decided to try the bouncy castle.

And he discovered it was lots of fun!

Down he comes, all by himself!

And bouncy-bouncy-bouncy!

Just taking a short rest.

Speechless! What happened to the bouncy castle?

The party may be over, but in Arlo's book, the fun is just getting started.

Enjoying the condo playground before heading out.

Even the spring rides are fun here!

Back at home, Lucy looks ready for Easter Sunday.

Oh my, Arlo also turns 2 years and 11 months today! It's Arlo's turn next!

And this is what Lucy thinks about it.

Mum is doing Arlo's bedtime story tonight: what a treat.

Lucy's got her game face on. Is today the day she's going to roll over?

She's practicing hard!

So close, so many times!

All eyes on Big Brother Arlo.

A few last attempts before the sun goes down.

And there it is! She finally rolled over, when no one was watching... while Mum was drawing the bath!

The next morning, Arlo asked to take a photo with Bella.

So here we are! Bella doesn't seem to care.

Lucy's trying another new outfit today.

Another nice, floral dress.

And Arlo's tackling a giant bowl of noodles for lunch, one noodle at a time.

Big brother hugs!

That's the face of someone who doesn't want to share with his sister.

Just lounging around with Dad.

And still trying to move forward.

Meanwhile, Arlo is practicing for his architectural debut in Dubai next month: taller, faster, stronger!

Posing for the camera. What a ham.

The little missy and her tongue.

Quietly nibbling on Sophie.

And enjoying her tummy time...

... until it's crashed by Big Brother.
