Bath smiles and other funny faces

Just a couple more cute picts from the past week :)

hmmmm

What's more fun than spitting up? Why, spitting up and then rubbing your face in it, of course!

Indian Feast

Abir (and Janet...I made one dish, he made 6...) cooked up some tasty Indian food on Saturday for some folks from Abir's work. Dishes included coconut rice, potatoes, dahl, chana masala, eggplant, butter chicken, and mustard shrimp. We got some help with the nan from Trader Joe. The food was a big hit, as was Torin. He seems to love new people...although maybe not into girls yet (in the picture above he is being introduced to 7-mo old Fabiola...he's a little unsure about this chic trying to hold his hand...)

Just hanging around

Just thought I'd post some highlights of the week (the grandparents are getting restless for pictures :). So, let's see, we've been making lots of funny faces, we like to sit around waving our arms and legs, and, oh yes, flying through the air on daddy's hand is a new favorite activity.  

Actually, it was a good week. I went to a seminar, so Torin got some quality daddy time.  Abir even brought him into work, to be oogled by the other geologists.  While it was hard to be away from him (and challenging to find places to sneak off to to pump in the middle of the day...gotta love that), it was good to be out and about.

Grand Canyon

Torin got to see the Grand Canyon this weekend.  Well, okay, he pretty much slept through it...but mom and dad had fun taking turns snapping photos with him. 

My First Snow

Living in southern Arizona we thought we'd have to wait until Christmas to see snow. Friday we left for the Grand Canyon, and on the way Torin got to see snow for the first time (as you can tell, he is thrilled and amazed...).  The top picture was taken shortly after we watched a herd of elk run by...very cool.  

Thanksgiving Day

We have a lot to be thankful for this year!

On Thanksgiving Day we had dinner with Pete and Juliet, their kids Layne and Sylvie (above), and Juliet's parents.  Everyone enjoyed a great meal even though, right on que, Torin started crying just as everyone sat down to dinner...maybe he wanted some turkey?  Instead,  Torin had milk... lots of milk.

Mmmmmm...sleep...my second favorite thing.
