Cielo’s favorite toys are the ones that most people don’t appreciate. example: toilet paper http://twitpic.com/2edvmk
One of Cielo’s favorite things to do is read books. His current favorite is The Feet Book by Dr. Seuss. There’s something about the word “Feet” that absolutely cracks him up, so as far as he’s concerned this is just about the funniest book that could possibly exist.

Added a few photos taken at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers. I particularly like this picture of a lotus blossom:
A bunch of family came in to visit last week – Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Corky, Aunt Judy, Cousins Suzanne & Josh, and Uncle Matt. There were so many people, we had to rent a house to fit them all in! It was a great time, and the best part was watching my Mom & Dad (Grandma and Grandpa) play with Cielo. If there’s anything better than watching your father crawl around on the ground chasing after your son, I really don’t know what it could be.
New tricks seem to be coming fast and furious these days. Just yesterday Mr. Cielo learned how to clap his hands!
A couple of weeks ago, my dad and I had gone out to pick up some Thai food for dinner and we walked in at the tail end of this video. We completely missed the fun, but somehow Fiona managed to capture this on video (without cracking up in the middle of it). I’ve watched this a dozen times, and I still laugh as hard as ever each time I see it.
Look at this dapper fella in his outfit from auntie chelsa, uncle aaron and uncle premal! Look out lady babies! http://twitpic.com/2bezxa

Uploaded a few pictures from our trip to St. Vincent. It was fun and it was great to see our friend Ted, but it was just WAY too hot for the little guy. This one captures the trip pretty well:

Paternity leave is awesome.

See if you can catch all the song titles. I can’t believe that guy managed to work in “Dancing on the Ceiling”.
In the airport again! Off to the carribbean (hour 41 of travelling)… http://twitpic.com/1qu3sb
We made it! Our first family plane ride was a great success. Believe it or not, I would actually go so far as to say I prefer flying with a six-month old. We didn’t have to wait in any lines, we got the best seats on the plane (not really – but I’ll take Premier Economy anytime), and the flight attendants doted on us the whole time. As for Cielo, he did GREAT. He slept most of the way, and when he wasn’t sleeping we were playing with him, which was a welcome distraction from the monotony of a 14 hour flight.
However, we did have a small incident involving a diaper blowout that resulted in me having to wear my jacket with no shirt underneath for most of the trip. Got a few strange glances going through customs, but considering that was the toughest part of the whole journey we’ve really got nothing to complain about.
Cielo’s really been having a great time with his cousins, Elijah and Lili. Having the family together is fantastic, and everybody’s loving having Cielo around with all his smiles and great baby laughing. He’s still having a bit of trouble adjusting to the time change, but I’m sure by the time we leave he’ll be perfectly adjusted (and we’ll do it all over again).

Happy Cielo can’t wait to get to Australia! http://twitpic.com/1lmda2

Just realized this has been sitting in my queue for the past six weeks. I completely forgot to click “Publish”. This video captures one of the first times Cielo showed a sense of anticipation -- you can see how he starts getting excited in the seconds before Mommy Attacks.
