Back with the wife and kid...

Leda and J.O. arrived back in town this morning. Although I might not have picked João Oliver out of a line-up based on his filled-out face, to my pleasant surprise he really hadn't grown than much or changed his habits and abilities either. He's still the little baby that left six weeks ago.

Here he is with his Grandpa in the Brasília airport yesterday afternoon:

And here he is in Boa Vista with his adoring cousin Miguel (that Brazilian towel-head thing again - ??):

...who has already got him addicted to television, apparently. =0

I finished the master bath while Leda was gone, and, at my friend Laurie Graham's incredible home shop with the milling machine, built some really spiffy little poplar wall brackets to hang the Yanomami spears and bow that have been packed up for two years now:

For Iliana, the "towel-head thing" explained :-) :

What's the towel head thing?

And btw, Joao is VERY cute... I love babies with expressive eyebrows... it makes them look like mini-grownups (which I suppose they are).

His Brazilian Grandma likes to nap with a cloth on her head, and she and Leda are convinced that J.O. loves it too. Maybe so... (see newly added picture above!).

Haha. That is kind of funny. Ok. I thought the towel did something... like keep him cool... but it's really just a sleep accessory. :) Too cute!
