First steps

Well Reister has been "learning" to walk the last couple of weeks. Today he really started taking strides around the room for longer and longer distances. He turns 10 months tomorrow!
Here's a video (sorry about the diaper, he just seems most comfortable without clothes on - not that it's hot here but without AC inside, it can get a little stuffy)

Fun times

Here's Reister with Dad's basketball. Micah was so happy when Reister found the ball and started playing with it. Signs of a future in the NBA?

My Mom brought Reister his own pair of sunglasses because the sun is so strong here. He likes them but every time we put them on he closes his eyes for a couple seconds. Sometimes it's hard to keep him from taking them off but if we distract him enough when we go out he forgets he has them on. :)


Below is a video of Reister playing Peek a Boo in a restaurant the other night. His latest accomplishments include playing peek a boo, saying "Dog" and "Ball" and "Down", taking a couple steps on his own in between furniture. He has 2 upper teeth and is getting in another lower one. He can feed himself banana pieces, cheerios, and even likes shredded cheese! We're so proud of our precious boy. He had a great time with his Lili and Poppo (my parents) and is glad his Uncle Sean is still here to play with him. Unfortunately it's sideways again because I took it on my cell phone. Don't know if there's a way to fix that.

Family Visit

My family got here June 5th and we've been having a great time with them.

Here's Reister with his Uncle Sean

We went to visit a local monastery last week -
Here's Reister enjoying his Daddy
Here's me and my mom at the monastery -
Yesterday we went to see the famous salt lake in our province -
as we were driving down to the shore, we ran into a herd of sheep - they wouldn't move out of the way - it was really funny!
My parents by the lake -
Mom, Dad and Sean at the stop on the way to the lake where you can see the Sun Moon Mountain in the background - still snow capped!

Nine months

Reister turned 9 months old June 1st. Here are some pictures from then and some more from the beginning of May when we went to see the tulips at a local park with some friends and their baby.


He doesn't always look like this -
