The long holiday is very exciting! We are booked to travel to the Philippines mid-April and Benedict will meet his grandparents and relatives. I am looking forward to connecting with some local birders and seeing what's on offer over there. I am told it is great but hard work as the birds there have a harder time than here.
Earlier reports of Benedict and teeth may have been premature. I can confirm however that he has discovered his voice and let's say he is blowing his trumpet at every opportunity..... which is all the time! No doubt words and teeth are imminent. Benedict measures 73 cm and weights and 8.80 kg. He really is awesome. Amazing to watch his development. It seems as if he has spurted once more over the last few days with the noise. Benedict is also showing determination. He is an adept crawler and will pursue a glass of water, for instance; some people were playing with him at a party Saturday afternoon, placing a glass on the floor and then moving it out of the poor boy's reach just as he was about to grab it. Benedict just wouldn't give up. I insisted that Benedict be given a drink as I think it is a bit cruel to tease him in this way!
Ratchaburi these last few days has been kicking thanks to the Chinese New Year. Once more the old market has been converted into a Chinese style village, red lanterns everywhere, and all manner of Chinese themed structures and images. It seems to be packing them in. We have paid a couple of visits. Great atmosphere.
It is getting hotter and hotter as well as we approach the Thai New Year in April and this usually coincides with the rainy season beginning.
I have to say life is good but very busy. Can't wait for the holiday.
