Ouch!

Jory had his first trip to the emergency room yesterday: he busted his chin open at daycare and they had to glue it shut. He was a very good boy (perhaps because they now have LED TVs that are suspended a foot from the patient's head playing Dora) and he's doing fine.

Jory in July

These photos are VERY late, but there are lots of cute ones so I figured better late than never.

Jory was born about the same time as these ducks, so we go feed them at the park all the time:

This is why we call Jory "our little monkey":

We went to Happy Hollow with Anika, Ajay, and Sai. Here's Mommy and Jory on the carousel:

and here's Jory and Anika in the ladybug ride:

And I can't remember at all what this photo was about:

Jory learns to drive

Grandpa KC got Jory an electric vehicle for his birthday... It took daddy a while to put together, and the first two times Jory used it, he tapped the "gas" pedal a couple of times and then got freaked out and got out.

But a couple days ago we decided to go for a walk... which turned into a run, since Jory got the hang of driving his car! Thanks Grandpa!

A weekend of fun

Jory and I went to the Hiller Aviation museum, where he finally wanted to sit in the 747 cockpit. According to him, he safely landed the plane near our house in Menlo Park.

I'm pretty sure this is where they kept the food carts; I was imagining the flight attendant's surprise if they opened it up to find Jory in there.

The next day Jory went to a friend's birthday party at some sort of rumpus room. He was a big fan of the ball pit...

 and the construction worker theme was much appreciated!

Quote of the day

Mommy: "Jory, do you have a sarcasm detector?" 

Jory: "No."

And a gratuitous photo:

Jory having fun

Jory got a new helmet so he could ride his bike to school, and decided he can now carry his own lunchbox!

Dinner at Devaki's

Tiffany and Jory went to Auntie Devaki's house while I was away last week, and Devaki took some amazing pictures of the two of them. Equally amazing was the fact that Jory's gleaming white kurta remains white.
