Outings in the City


Operation Update (Myles)

Myles language is exploding right now, especially after spending almost 5 months with his cousins in the States. Lightening McQueen from the movie Cars has captured his heart, and almost on a daily basis he is asking, “can we watch it again?” It was a must to bring back as much “cars stuff” as possible, which means he is wearing PJ’s with McQueen, sleeping with a McQueen blanket, drinking from McQueen cups, and of course wearing McQueen underwear! Which brings us to more great news that he is potty trained (and all the parents said AMEN). He is doing great being back so far and is excited to share with everyone that he is Myles Ready and also Suhrob (his Tajik name). Daddy is especially thankful that Myles’ favorite song is from the Rudy soundtrack, and they are often seen together dancing to their hearts delight. Drawing fish, dragons, and (of course) McQueen keep him entertained as well, along with the important job of being a big brother to baby Keaton.





Keats Kingdom

Baby Keaton is not such a “baby.” He is approaching 5 months, but is already mostly wearing 9 or 12 month clothes. Suffice it to say that he’s a big one. In fact, baths take extra long as we are required to peel back roll after roll of skin. He is still giving mom a run for her money at night, but she is determined to win the battle. So far he is showing signs of being quite extroverted as he always wants to be with people. He has a great smile and obviously is always curious about what big bro is up to. We keep telling Myles that he better be nice to Keaton because it won’t be long before Keats is twice his size.
