Learning Thai

Monday, August 25 was Silas's going home from the hospital day. We left Bumrungrad International in the afternoon feeling strange taking a taxi home with a baby in our arms, not in a car seat!

Silas says good-bye to a few of his friendly nurses.

Bye Bumrungrad! We had a great experience with the hospital and found the care to be really great. We didn't get much sleep though and were looking forward to getting home for a little more rest.

Introducing Silas to "the real world" at home in Thippawan.

He's enjoying lots of cuddles from his big sisters. They are both seeming really grown up all of a sudden! Claire will return to school tomorrow after several days off to enjoy the homecoming and time with Grandmom.

First bath! We're following Thai advice in caring for this one. :) Baths are okay even with a drying cord, no lotion, keep him in the house for a month, etc. Interesting to see learn the differences.

Adjusting to his crib. The first night was "fun"...he woke up every hour like clockwork hungry for more!

One of his favorite hang out spots in his seat in the living room.

We're all adjusting to the MANY changes in our lives and enjoying him very much. It's so nice to have the extra pair of hands with my mom here and both girls have been very helpful too..so far! :) Thanks for all your comments and e-mails. We wish you could all come over and check him out and give him a squeeze! We've had quite a few visitors already and will post some pictures of that soon.
