Kirin at 5 Months

Kirin is 5 months old!

Maybe the day after his vaccinations wasn't the best day for a brother photo shoot? 

  

Non-mobility was good while it lasted

Kirin is going to see this picture of his first day at daycare and wonder why everyone is so excited except for him

 

Baby giggles are the best :)

 

Learning the ropes from big brother Milan

 

Home for the Holidays

We spent Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years on the west coast for the first time this year.  We missed seeing our families but we enjoyed celebrating with our bay area friends.

On Thanksgiving, we had a potluck dinner.  Several dishes had persimmons in them thanks to our and our friends' bountiful trees!

 On Christmas Day, Santa made his debut visit to our home in Menlo Park

Santa had some cookies that Milan made and left him a note! 
Milan was pleased with his bounty

 In the evening, Kirin and his buddy Aadi coordinated their outfits

"You wear green and I'll wear red, OK?"

Milan came up with this pose himself

We made some ornaments and had another great dinner

We brought in the New Year with some cheese and chocolate fondue!

 

 Happy 2016 everyone!
