A couple weeks ago, Anita's dad and brother came for a visit. They stayed for a week, and we mostly spent time as a family going to fun places, eating good food, and letting Callie & Zane play with their grandpa and uncle. This was Ed's (A's brother) first time to meet Zane, and it was her dad's first time visiting our home here in East Asia. Here are a few pics from that time.
One day we all went to a park, and we realized that b/c we live in a country where in most places it is not permitted to walk on the grass, she was scared to walk on the grass once we put her down to play. Something about the strange soft variable surface was freaking her out. At first she wouldn't take a step without a grown-up's help. This was just a reminder that she is growing up in a different place than where we grew up.
Big news: Callie just started sleeping in a big-girl bed! The above picture captures her first night in it. She's doing great. Right now the bed is about 1.3 m long and can adjust to two longer lengths, eventually all the way to two meters as she grows. Her new favorite words these days are "outside" (she's always asking to go), "tat" (her version of "cat" - she likes to search for the neighborhood cats whenever we play outside), "peas" (her version of "please"), and the most recent, "whoa!" (I didn't realize we said it that much).
Zane makes the best pouty faces. He also just started rolling over. Check out this video to see him in action:
