My chef, he makes great eggs!

The first shave

Ice skating, he loved it!

Coffee and noodles.

Quality time with GG and Aunt Kathy

Just woke up from a three hr nap...whipping up some eggs...don't talk to him until he's had his eggs!

Flights and car rides and bus rides and cab rides. Cousins and aunts and great aunts and great great grandparents. Wrestling and sword fights and running and being naughty and learning potty words and peeing on Megan's floor. Sleep kid. The trip isn't even half over.

Learning to play the bells

The hugs are abundant this time. Some trips they fight a lot. This visit they just hug (and fight) and hug.

Ah Dima, he's the best
