The gym sessions

When my parents came over from Canada, they brought a lot of stuff with them. One of the biggest was this device confusingly called a "gym".

For the first few months, Kirin wan't really ready to take on the challenges it presented - grabbing, pulling and looking at himself in the mirror attached to one of the arms. We can happily report that he is now enjoying it with abandon, especially chewing the arches. He loves it and it is really nice for us to see him having so much fun.

On another note, as you can see from these pics, Kirin has also developed a bit of a dribbling/drooling habit. In this, he surely takes after his father. But after being hit with one of these gourgeous smiles, it is pretty hard to worry that much about the slime on your shoulder. What a cutey!
