Hey- So he was a feeling a little better today as you can see. A little whiny for the first hour but then we gave him some tea and he had a burst of energy and was crawling all over the place. They give them something that they call fruit tea here. The one that they usually use is a powder mixed with water (made by the British organic baby food company Hipp) but sometimes they make it from scratch and as I understand it they take a bunch of dried fruit, pour boiling water over it, let it steep for a while, add a little sugar and let it cool. Then they puree the fruit to feed them and use the fruitywater as 'tea'. They had some homemade stuff one time and so there was a bunch of lumps floating in his bottle. He kept sucking them up into the nipple which then, of course, clogged it up and he got so frustrated. In retrospect, I guess I could have fished the big lumps out but I know he would have been screaming thinking I was taking his bottle away. He loooooves his tea. And now we are off for today (Friday)'s visit. -m

It's interesting to see how other parts of the world care for their babies -- i.e. fruit tea.
So glad Rinat's feeling better...he looks like a happy camper in that picture! Do you get to take the stacking toys with you? I've noticed them a lot in pictures.
Have a great weekend -- we're off to the beach!

I have really enjoyed all of the pics you have posted on Shutterfly! And, like any good auntie, I've pretty much ordered all of them!
I am absolutely LOVING the fact you have caught on camera Peter's ear obsession!!! Some things never change!!! Rinat is going to have to learn how to fight back to protect his ears... perhaps Aunt Kate can give him some tips!

Are we missing something? How do we get to view the pictures on Shutterfly?
I don't think you can possibly imagine how we all look forward to each and every blog! They've been fantastic! Thank you, thank you for letting us take this journey with you.
Love to the three of you! xoxo

Glad Rinat is feeling better! Keep that tea coming. Great pix. Have downloaded a bunch on Shutterfly.
Had a great visit with Kate and Matt at the Litchfield. Look forward to the new Leggett "3" being here next year.
