A Friendly Fellow

We have enjoyed have enjoyed the many visits (and the occasional prepared meals that they bring for us!) from our friends lately. Mehandis really enjoys seeing other kids, since he was so used to that at the care center. There he had six roommates whom he would play on the floor with through out the day. I would love to know where some of those children now live. We were especially enamoured with Mehandis's little "girl friend" whom he would chatter back and forth to, fight over balls with and she would occasionally tug as his small tufts of hair! She was a bit bigger and stronger than him at that time... so I think she was usually the victor.

My friend from college, Kerbie, came by my parents' house last week with her son Brannon. Mehandis was drawn to Brannon and his pacifier :) Brannon is a several months older than Mehandis. It was fun to see all the things that Brannon is doing now. He has a love for pineapple, climbing and electrical equipment! Kerbie has volunteered to have Brannon "kid proof" our homes, since he can quickly find the "no-zones"!!!



Another friend of ours, Dana came by this past week and brought her two children. Here is a photo of our affectionate little guy with Jade. He was successful in giving her a couple little "kisses"!


And I just had to add this cutie pie picture, because I couldn't resist!
