My Classroom (with a surprise ending)

Went into school to get some work done ... yeah right like that's possible with an small pink elephant in the room.

5 KG!

Elizabeth,
Today we weighed you. With your clothes on you now weigh 11 lbs (or 5KG)! You are growing, growing, growing!

Nursery Tour

Here is some pictures of your nursery in Dhaka ... it's still under some construction but there will be a video tour when it's totally completed.

Nice fluffy clouds and your new furniture (with puppets on the shelves)

The penguins and pepto sun ... the Jatra Medallion

The bed (minus the mosquito net) with the new pillows and the Sally Ann basket thing with rabbit, alligator, and squirrel behind.

Changing area and cabinet .... robot!

Sleepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Elizabeth .... you slept through the entire night! You get a gold star!
(Ohh .. and family and grandparents should start leaving some comments for Elizabeth too! It would be nice for her to get some feedback!)

Baby Group Brunch

Elizabeth has been going to baby group on Thursday during school. The ayahs get together at a different home and have tea and cakes while the babies do their baby time. On Friday the parents got together for a brunch ... sorry about the camera phone photos. What was really interesting was that there were girls there at 2 months, 3 months, 5 months, 7 months, and 17 months ... and some assorted boys. Good indication of what's to come.

Growing

E .... i think it was today that we really noticed how much bigger you are getting ... longer, chubbier, and bigger but still cute as all get out.... big baby!

Hooked on Phonics

Bubbles,

You have lately been running through new phonemes on a regular basis. I heard h, g, m, lip smacking, humming, a buzzing sort of snort and clicking. I think you will be reading soon enough.

Ride That Girallama

Bubbles ... you did a fine job (with your ayah Milon's help) of riding the giraffe/llama animal around the room.

What's There to Laugh About?

E ... you really are letting it all out lately and talking up a storm.

Elizabeth Smiles 1

Here you go Bubbles! Some of your first smiles ....

Elizabeth at the Club

Elizabeth ... we took you to the club in a cute purple (or lilac) dress and you were very well behaved.

Playing with Dad

E ... see how much fun you are having!

Nickname

Bubbles .... it seems you are more than proficient at making them and it also describes your personality. To those that balk ... think Power Puff Girls!

Happy 2 Months!

Happy two months!

We did not do anything special although you
did spit up a few extra times
and we sang you the happy birthday
song minus the cha cha cha's.

6 word memoirs

Birthday girl let big birthday gas

Happy in lap but not long

Elizabeth laughs smiles more each day

Sleeps alot but never dull moments

Little Problems/Big Cries

Be warned! This is really loud and Dad may not seem very caring ... but seriously you have to find the humor sometimes ...

Elizabeth Speaks 1

Here's a bit of footage from Houston and Elizabeth's first words.

More Friends Meet Elizabeth

Elizabeth met Cate (five months pregnant) and Elaine but both Fred and Leon (respective husbands) were not available for comment. Below Justin and Kelly chill out with E.

So Sweet to Sleep

You are back at it and nice technique ... but if you are sleeping soundly you can sleep anyway you want

Yeah No Sleep!

Elizabeth ... you must have read my last entry and decided to pull an all-night fuss-a-thon.
