Noah Walks Up Daddy's Tummy

Dear All,

Yes, it's true. Noah has begun to walk, with a little help from his friend - Daddy! Noah can support his own weight for a short time, and with a little help, walk up Daddy's tummy. He's actually smiled more than usual today when I engaged with him in this. He's showing how much he likes to move around the apartment, and even go outside, though he doesn't stay awake long when we go outside due to, we suspect, and heavy stimuli. He's also sleeping a lot today.

More big news is that Noah's ability to turn his head as arrived, when hearing or noticing something. Before, he never turned his head, but now, it's normal for him. Waaaaa. Baby is growing.

Vacation has arrived for Greg, and he's beginning to study NVC in more depth (www.cnvc.org), as well as study Korean (imagine that, after 4.5 years of living here he's finally getting around to it - Uh-oh...I think he's evaluating himself - Ouch!).

Greg is transitioning into a more relaxed environment, where he's able to "live love" and source his presence from a deep connection with self and others. He's trying to get back the mindfulness he had when at Plum Village, and is strongly longing for a greater wholeness in his entire atmosphere. He knows just how much joy and happiness this will not only bring for himself, but for his wife and baby son, Noah.

In much warmth and affection,

Greg

Growing fast. Wait until he can walk and crawl all by himself and make mischief without your help!

Good for you (finally) learning Korean. Now your adventures there will take on a whole new light as you begin to understand your adopted culture in the words it chooses for itself. Good luck and stick with it.

Plus you'll have twice as many words to use with Noah. Begin learning "yeah!" and "Stop!" soon.
