benjamin & lindsay in cambodia

after our mini-family reunion in thailand, ben & lindsay came back with us for a week of fun in cambodia.  they had just finished a trip to wild india & crazy phuket, so we did lots of relaxing on the porch, but also some fun cambodian sight-seeing too.

seasons [2]

[6 months]

[6 months]

well, we blinked & another month flew by.  at 6 months baby cedar is still quite the charmer, spending most of his time smiling, kicking his feet, taking baths to stay cool & looking around for friends to give him some attention (not usually a problem for a very white, red-headed baby living in cambodia).  he still does not like going to sleep at night & likes to make sure that all our neighbors can hear his sleep protests as well. (our "sleep training" attempts prompted my landlord to ask me why foreigners like to make their babies cry!)

this month was a month of many firsts for baby c. including - his first ride in a stroller (don't tell him pink is for girls!), his first food, his first belly laughs (seen here) & the introduction of a new, closed-mouth-yet-still-wide grin.  

he makes us so very happy!
