Playing in Patan Nepal

18 Months--oh what fun I am having

I talk a lot, from the moment I get up in the morning until I fall asleep at night. Repeating things and pointing to things, trying to figure out all of the words for all of these things in my world. In the car I love to point out the "buses" and the "tuk-tuks." At home I am always asking to "sit" and read "books," or "butter (peanut butter). I especially love animals, and learning the sounds of the monkey, cow, chicken, frog, duck, tiger, cats and dogs. I am still quite a charmer in India and snagged a free hair cut today on account of how cute I was. Mom and Dad seemed to be worried about my predilection for purposefully falling on my butt and jumping off of the coach ("one, two, three"). One of the things that makes me laugh is when someone sneezes and then I say "bless you."

Learning to skip rocks across the fountain

 One, two, three, THROW!

Nepal: Temples are my playground

 Ding, Dong. I love these bells. 

The old ladies adore me. 

 Monkeys playing on the temples. 

Giddy up!

We wish you a Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! Although we missed our families terribly, we had a wonderful Christmas. We opened Christmas presents with both of our families on Christmas Eve and then on Christmas Day had a dinner with our friends from the Consulate.

Foster started to get the hang of the package opening thing and was/is totally excited about the choo choo train set and cars that his Grandma sent.

 Christmas decorations were a bit of an improv with some Indian accents thrown in.
