International Day

Last year around Christmas time, Lin (from Dad's work) brought an outfit from China for M. Not two months ago it looked as though M might not wear it until age 2. But her unparalleled growth in the past few weeks has allowed her to fit into it with only a little room to spare. In the photo below, M looks at her new threads!







"Wait, there's pants too?!?"


Satisfied that she's fully dressed and thoroughly enjoying her first encounter with silk, M looks at the camera and gives her best smile!
In somewhat related news, while M was getting her outfit on for the first time, J was installing shelves from Linens and Things. P.S....Do not buy this shelving system despite it's awesome look. You can see in the photo below all the international artifacts B has collected. Starting in the bottom left and rotating clockwise is a love spoon from Wales, a mask from Italy, a Bahama Mama from the Bahamas, a photo book from Utah, and a mate from Uruguay. In the center portion on the lower shelf is an incense burner from Spain. Right above are coasters from Austrailia, and then, to the left is a mirror and vase from Korea. Finally, to finish it up on the top of the center shelf is a painting from Guatamala. So we have something from North, South, and Central America, the Carribean, Asia, and Europe. The shelf in the top left with nothing on it represents the spot left for the African continent.
Here is how the shelves look with the whole wall in view. M's new toy chest is on the lower right.
