Daniel's Mommy and Dad

To catch you up on Daniel's Mommy and Dad, I'll share some pictures from this past week or so.

Daniel and Mommy have a pleasant talk.

In Mommy's Arms

On the streets of Icarai, there's always at least one person--usually a woman--who stops to talk about Daniel.  Well, let me rephrase that.  We've never taken Daniel out for a walk without some nosey, self-proclaimed pediatric expert giving us her two cents-worth of advice/criticism.  "He's too young to be out."  "You should wait until he's had all his vaccines."  "He must be cold.  Cover him up."  "His arms are purple--you're not holding him properly."  "He's so small."  "How old is he . . ."

Cecilia and Will came back to the apartment after one of Daniel's first trips out and took him directly for a bath.  C reported that some woman had taken Daniel's head in her hands and kissed him on the head.  A total stranger.  While it was a gesture of blessing, I ask you--Who does this???!!!
We are all understandably gun-shy when we're out with Baby D.  That's why I love this next picture.

Will turns to politely protect Daniel from
a drive-by kiss or unsolicited 'expert' opinion
on a walk in the neighborhood.

This expert (the Gringa) thinks that Mommy and Dad are doing a great job!  Just look.
