First steps

Cara has taken her first steps yesterday! A few times she would start from a standing position (holding onto the couch) and then take a few steps forward before falling forward. She is gaining more confidence each day.

The visit to the ENT doctor today confirmed that Cara hasn't been getting any more ear infections since she had tubes put in -- great news. Now that she isn't taking medicine all the time, her appetite has greatly improved and she is always in a happy and adventurous mood. From time to time she'll show her affection toward us by kissing us right on the lips... what a sweetheart.

Happy Easter and Suk San Wan Songkran (Happy Thai New Year)

A weekend of celebration in both the US and Thailand! Here is Cara in her Easter dress and Songkran outfit.

We have a lot of fun with Cara. Just recently she has started to carry objects along with her (flashlights, bottles, etc) in one hand while trying to crawl -- it is fun watching her learn. In fact, two days ago we caught her sprinting (crawling on all fours) down the hallway with her biting down and carrying a bottle in her mouth the whole way.

Some more shots of Cara, including the first time catching her smile (with teeth) on camera.
