We had a wonderful afternoon at the Halloween Carnival, and Diana was able to wear her same costume from last year (!). Helen only lasted about 5 minutes in her felt pea costume, it was just too hot. We were a big hit in our HERO shirts (the local grocery store cashier lent us two XXL shirts for the day). Helen has been growing like a weed, and is starting to smile and coo a lot more. She’s also able to hold a rattle now, as evidenced by the picture below (I think she looks like a Brando-esque street tough). Diana is talking a mile a minute and is really learning a lot of new words, both English and bahasa Indonesia. Her new trick is to squat on her little potty – a trick I think she picked up by watching her Indonesian friends use their squat toilet. Enjoy the pics, and more to come soon.
Darling girls!!! All three of them.
Too cute – you’re right – looks like she’s pumping some iron. Probably feels good after she gets out of her mummy wrap. The last pic of D on the bed is so Hello Kitty Kuute! You are their hero!
Great pictures. The picture of Helen asleep wrapped in her green blanket reminds me so much of Diana last year. Can’t wait to hear her coos. And Diana’s bumble bee costume is just perfect for her.
Thanks for being so diligent about posting pictures.
