Six months and counting

Yesterday, Kirin achieved a milestone - six months of life. Amazing that it has gone so fast, that we are still sane, that he continues to entertain and confound us.... It merits a long blog entry but work and life are rather too busy to do that just now (this is also the reason that I have not updated the site for so long - sorry about that but things should improve).

This is Kirin's buddy Sandro, who is a little bit younger (I can't quite remember how much younger but at least a month). We met Sandro's parents, Giovanni and Hanna at our ante-natal class way back in August, and have become pretty good friends. Fortunately, they also live just up the road from us, in Archway, so we hope that our boys will be spending a lot of time together over the next few years. The north London posse awaits you Lyova!

The pictures are from a lunch we had at their place a few weeks ago. For the first time, Kirin seemed interested in another baby/child - up to now, I think he has been a bit too young for it to really click in. Or maybe he was just admiring another man with good taste in dungarees/overalls.

On another note, my good friend Harmeet, who was held hostage in Iraq for four months, was finally freed yesterday. Good news all round.
