Waterproof Diapers: $7.99 (7 pack), Replacement Pool Access Card: $25, Seeing Rai at the Neighborhood Pool: PRICELESS!

Well, it has been one week and two days since we came home as a family, and there have already been many firsts to capture on film (or memory card in this digital age). Here are just a few:

1. First Trip to the Neighborhood Playground (one of many playgrounds)
This was a last-minute attempt to keep Rai up after 3 hour nap. He did smile during this one hour playtime, but the camera wasn't fast enough to capture the smile before the eyes went heavy again. :-)

2. First Time Building and Destroying with Legos!
The first few times playing with legos consisted of Aaron building something with the legos only to watch Rai rip them apart and put them back in the dump truck. He finally started getting the hang of putting them together yesterday (only to rip them apart quickly thereafter).

But the dump truck makes a much better wagon!

8. First Big Meal!
For someone who began as a picky eater, Rai no longer rejects any baby food or baby snacks! Now those weird looking meat sticks that look like Vienna Sausages are a different story...

10. And First Time Napping Without a Bottle! (So it's the bottle or Daddy - fair enough!)

Love the pictures! My favorite is Rai and Aaron in the toddler bed! :) Hope things continue to go well as you get to know him better. We're working on all that here too! :) Glad to hear that Aaron is keepin' up with the Korean! Can we borrow him for a few days too?!?!

You know....there seems to be a trend here. Rai nap = Daddy nap. Having a child seems to have really worked out well for him; or at least seems to really be wearing him out!

Congratulations, MaryAnn. I'm so happy for y'all and glad that Rai is home.
