Although these pictures don't show any birds, we did see a lot and got to enjoy a show as well.
After the Bird Park Grammy and Elyse decorated cookies for us. They were yummy!

Grammy and Gramps
Toby's parents were able to come spend Christmas with us. For those who don't know, they live in Jakarta, Indonesia so it's just a short trip for them. We love having them so close. Before Christmas we were able to show them around the Bird Park. It was a great day to be outside- not too hot.

Aunt Lisel
Lisel stuck around after Jan and Jack had to go home so we got some one on one time with her.
One day we headed across the street to the Chinese Gardens. I thought this pose was cute:
On another day we head for Sentosa. We took the cable car to the little island.
After the cable car, we walked to the beach through the Merlion Walk. It has a mosaic fountain that is beautiful. Here Elyse is posing again:
We got to the beach and Lisel and Elyse had a great time while I fed Anastasia. I joined them and they continued to swim while I napped A in the Bjorn. (A was very flexible this day which I was grateful for.)
After the beach we had some lunch right next to the water and then Lisel and Elyse went on the Luge. It looks like they had a fantastic time.
We had a wonderful time with Aunt Lisel and we miss here dearly!

Fun With Family
Over Thanksgiving we had some of the Harkless family come to visit: Lisel, Jack and Jan. This is the first time Lisel has been to Singapore so we showed her around the town.
Here we are at a local hawker center. We had chicken rice and lime juice, both very Singaporean.
We also took a Hippo Tour (a double decker bus) around the city so Lisel could get an overview of the city. Elyse took this picture:
Jack and Jan had bought Candy Land for Elyse. We played it quite a bit.
One night we got a babysitter and went out on the town. We took another Hippo tour of Orchard Road to see the lights for Christmas and then we took the MRT to the Singapore River area and got to see everything all lit up.

After church Lisel, Jan and I went to a fish spa and then walked around Arab Street. Always nice to spend time with the ladies.

O Christmas Tree
Today we went to get our Christmas Tree. I still find it strange to be in shorts when picking out a tree.
Here a few "traditional" videos from our ride home:
After we got home, we put on some music, opened our can of egg nog, and decorated the tree. We had a good time. Every time Elyse put on an ornament she would say "ta-da!"
Yes, Elyse, egg nog from a can is a bit strange:
This seemed to be Elyse's favorite spot on the tree:
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..."

6 Months
Anastasia Joy is 6 months old. We went to the doctor and he was impressed with how friendly she is and how easily she recovered from the shots he gave her (a few cries and then back to smiles).
She now weighs 7.46 KG (16 lbs 7 oz) and is 67.5 cm (26.5 in) long. She is rolling all over the place and is sitting up for a few minutes at a time. Yesterday we gave her some cereal for the first time and she opened her mouth for the spoon and seemed to eat some of it :) She is still taking short naps and not sleeping through the night- but we are going to work on this.
Overall she is a very happy, friendly baby and a joy to be around.
