Ranier seems to be quite happy with the change of climate. Other than continued sleep issues, he’s been a pretty happy fellow. Dahrius seems to have settled right into things with his usual aplomb. We’ve been trying to keep him occupied, with some success, but he’s also proven once again to be remarkably capable of managing himself. Thank goodness for that!
Ranier likes to stand up.
We borrowed a clever baby device called a Bumbo that we had not seen before, which is surprisingly effective at keeping Ranier happy for a bit… long enough that one or the other of us can often scarf down some dinner before he needs to be held again. Trains, of course, continue to be a big agenda item, and the brothers both seem to enjoy playing with them.
Silliness on the floor.
We decided to seize the chance over Labor Day weekend and headed over to the house in Inverness for a few days. We had a number of nice hikes and very nice swims in Tomales Bay, which is seasonably warm by now. We also had a great afternoon visit by friends Sarah and Eric and their two daughters, Helena and Ellie.

Given Ranier’s size and obvious interest in eating, we decided to go ahead and see what he thinks of solid foods. The rice cereal seems to be a hit, but not the banana. It’s a long road of introducing things slowly, so we’ll just keep at it and see what comes.
He likes the spoon, anyway.
Ahrash had a business trip to South Africa over his birthday, so we celebrated early with a fabulous Bissell-cooked meal and early presents. Posts from that trip are elsewhere on the blog!
Early birthday for Ahrash.
So far so good back in the Bay Area!
