A smiling Malik and the Incredible Hulk

It's been a tiring few weeks but we hope that Malik is starting to get a bit more used to life on the outside. He just got over a little cold and today he spent a lot of time smiling for his mummy. She even managed to get a picture of him doing it (if you look closely, you might see the little dimple on his left cheek).

"Please don't make me angry."

One of the things we have a lot less of now than when Kirin was a baby is time. Back then, it felt like we didn't have any time to ourselves; now it feels like we had all the time in the world and it is a struggle to find a couple of minutes to ourselves without feeling that it would actually be better to get some sleep.

Having said that, we (i.e. Johanna because work is so busy that I rarely get home before the boys are asleep) are trying to establish a routine with little Malik. Baths are now a regular evening activity and the boys are enjoying hanging out in the water together. Malik seems to enjoy floating away and I thought this was a pretty cute pic, post-bath.
