Easter Sunday

Here, Easter Sunday is April 27th. We visited the church across the street.

Grandma and I made Easter eggs and we had a yummy bread cake.

I had some, while mommy and I talked to daddy on the webcam.

Springtime in Kiev

Mommy, grandma and I went to the park, in the beautiful spring weather. It was my first time in the sandbox and I liked it a lot!

Six Steps

Look at me! I'm walking!!!

9 months & 1 week old!

Downtown Kiev

Mommy, grandma and I visited downtown Kiev. They were looking at fancy buildings, but I had my bublik (bread ring, similar to a bagel). Yum!

Getting ready for bed

In the evening, it's time to get ready for bed. I talk to daddy on the phone (it's noon, back at home in San Jose), take a bath and put on my new robe while I dry off. Then, it's off to bed.

Visiting Kiev

The doggy on the chair with me is my new pal Sharik (a universal Russian name for street dogs).
Mommy, babushka (grandma) and I are nearing the end of our time here in Kiev. Soon we will go to Moscow and then daddy will join us. I've been practicing saying "dada". I can also say "mama" and "baba" (babushka).



Grandma is making sure that I'm eating enough to keep up with all of my activities, like playing in the local park. She plays 'choo-choo' with the box and it delivers me to the scales. She is very proud that she is helping me grow big and strong.
