¡Feliz Cumpleaños, Mammina!

Una sonrisa, y muchos besos y abrazos.

Happy Halloween

Pedro compares Bino's flailing arm and leg motions to those a lobster would make.

Yesterday he wore this costume
to the Halloween reunion at the special care nursery where spent his first 8 days of life. It was touching to see the nurses who took such good care of him again.

Bino beisbolista

Como buen nativo de Massachusetts, Bino cultiva desde ya su afición por los Medias Rojas de Boston. Helo aquí en su glorioso uniforme.

Bino con su chucho

Pedro me ha contado sobre una vez que el tío Alejo mordió al perro de la familia cuando él era un niño. Parece que Bino se divierte de la misma manera.

¡Pobre perrito!

Bino serio

De pie y muy serio, pero siempre encantador, Bino posa sin soltar su tigre.

Happy Birthday, Mimi

Mimi's birthday is October 8. Bino sends his regards.

Saturday with Bino iv

We stopped again for more bouncing, during which Bino finally fell asleep. He was still sleeping when we arrived home.

Saturday with Bino iii

The corn stalks made us think we were back in Illinois-- a place it's hard to believe Bino's never seen.

We stopped twice on our way back home. First, in a parking lot, where Papa let Bino explore the front seat.

Saturday with Bino ii

When Bino woke up, we explored the pumpkin patch.

Saturday with Bino

Brooksby Farm is just six miles from home, but our trip there took all day. Bino HATES riding in the car, and so we had to make several stops on the way there and back.

Our first stop was at a gas station, where Bino had a snack.

Then we stopped at some random house, where he danced outside with his father.

By the time we made it to the farm, Bino was finally tuckered out. He snoozed in his stroller while Mom and Dad drank some cider.

Besitos

Mañana es el cumpleaños de tía Luze. Bino le manda un besito para felicitarla.

Ejercicios con papá (2)

Y helo aquí triunfante. Este par de fotografías preceden las que aparecieron aquí.

Ejercicios con papá (1)

He aquí a Bino preparándose para sentarse, con la ayuda de su padre.

Bino canguro

A Bino le empieza a gustar salir a pasear al estilo canguro. Helo aquí antes de acompañar a su padre a la tienda de la esquina.

See ya later, alligator!

And here is Bino waving bye-bye to send Kami off on her journey to do good in the world.

Yay, Namibia!

Here is a picture of Bino "reading" one of the really nice books that Kami so thoughtfully sent him. All of us wish Kami the very best of luck in her inspiring new adventure.
