and this is Anniken, my great friend from Norway (getting practice with a baby!)
toby and I went to Mombasa for the weekend! I just had to take him to the ocean... Ivar Aamodt, our friend and colleague, flew in to Nairobi on Friday, and Anniken's bright idea of going to the coast was well received. A couple more colleagues joined us, as well as 'our' maasai Sikoi - Anthony couldn't make it due to work and classes, but worriedly agreed to let us go.
the indian ocean was surprisingly cool (ok it is winter - only 28 degrees!) so I didn't dare dip the baby into the water - he's not that fond of water at the best of times, and it was also windy... He had four volunteer uncles to protect him and cart him around, so he was all good. Ivar even got him smiling on demand! (and yawning apparently.....)
after all that fresh sea air, Toby has been on a growth spurt.. he's getting huge! at his one-month check up he was 4.3kg - almost a kilo since birth - and must have added another by now! he's 6 weeks and still has a very pleasant demeanor, and we are all thrilled to have him around! only 2.5 weeks till we go to Canada!
