Busy summer

It has been very hectic lately. But we are having a great summer.
A couple of weeks ago, our friend George was in town and that meant some fun days out and about in England. This included a day at the polo game. Kaio LOVED it! All the 'hohies' (=horses) and all the friends and attention. Although, when we approached a horse, Kaio was a bit reluctant in touching him!
The weekend after that we went for a long weekend to Bilbao (Spain) for Jason's birthday. Kaio did really well on the plane and during the entire time in Spain. Since dinner is late there and we were in Bilbao during a fun festival, we ended up putting Kaio to bed at 10:30pm! (we did have nice siestas every day!) He really had fun though. He is running so much and was just sprinting from one place to another all the time! He only panicked a bit when we saw large puppets (3 times the size of normal human beings). Just like with the horses and several other situations, he likes to 'check things out' and feel comfortable with certain situations before 'throwing himself' into the situation. A very 'cautious' boy!
We have been keeping Kaio up later this week to prepare him for our trip to Los Angeles this coming weekend. He seems to react well to it - he is sleeping in a bit later and he takes longer naps after lunch!
Kaio has been so funny, we have had him giggle so much by doing funny things (like putting a nappy on our head or splashing water in our face!) It is a true belly giggle and it is just the most adorable thing to see.
Kaio seems to be missing his Oma. When we were in Bilbao, he picked up the hotel phone and said 'Hi Oma' folllowed by 'Hi Opa'. He also saw a picture of a present and he said "Oma". (since she always brings wrapped presents for him!)
