R&R in the Rainforest

Still trying to wake up.

We went for some rest and relaxation at our favorite guest house in the Kakamega Rainforest.

Look at this cool chair. I fit perfectly in it!

Smelling the nice flowers.

Hanging out on the veranda with Baba, waiting for our afternoon chai and cake.

Hi!!! I wasn't really waving (I don't know how to do that yet), but it looks like it, doesn't it?

Mama, these close up shots show all my drool nowadays.

Relaxing with my Baba.

I can now grab things and when I do, it inevitably goes in my mouth.

My niece, Chelagat, loves to play with me.

Bath time!

20 Weeks Old!

Here's my great smile these days!

Oh so handsome, Mama says. We were attending a friend's wedding on this day.

Tuckered out after a nice evening walk with my Auntie Juli.

I love to be outside. Here I am on our veranda with my big "sister," Ruth.

See how I can scoot myself out of the chair.

Drooling has become a normal occurrence for me.

Visiting Baba at his work, Onesimus, the milk cooling plant.

Attending my first HIV/AIDS Campaign. This is my good friend, Phoebe.

Snoozing in the car after a long day at the campaign.

Lollipop

This is as close as I've come to tasting my first lollipop!

My morning routine--relaxing in Mama's chair and watching her make the bed before she feeds me breakfast. She can't leave me there for much longer though because I'm now learning how to sit up and lean forward.

My First Airplane Ride

Sorry folks...Mama's been a bit busy this last month and hasn't had a chance to post new pictures of me! She's trying to slowly catch up now. These pictures are from the beginning of September when Baba, Mama and Auntie Juli took me on my first airplane ride to Nairobi.

Getting in some lunch before our journey. I was eager to eat ugali and vegetables with Auntie Juli but Mama said I had to wait a few weeks.

Uncle Charles picked us up at the airport in Nairobi. I really enjoyed the 30 minute flight. In fact, I slept most of the way.

Here's me and my cousin, Cheptoo, on the swing (another first for me).

Mama and I took Baba out to dinner for his birthday while we were in Nairobi. We (well, once again, not me yet) ate "nyama choma"...Baba's favorite.

Our flight back to Eldoret. Do we all look tired? Well, Mama was exhausted after a few days of running around in Nairobi and she was so happy to be back home. She said I was a trooper though.

This is my first passport photo. We went to the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi to get my passport. All the ladies working at the embassy thought I was so adorable!
