Alo – our “Spiritual Guide”

I stopped by to visit Akuch and Alo yesterday. Akuch looks great … and HAPPY! Alo, at 15 days old, is the perfect and happy baby boy.

CORRECTION: The name “Alo” has two different meanings – “Spiritual Guide” and “he who looks up at the sky” in Hopi, not Japanese.

Maya and Alo

I’ll start with a couple pictures of Maya showering before entering the pool at her swim lesson on Friday.

I’ve created a new category on my blog for “Alo,” born yesterday at 4:42am, weighing in at a whopping 8 lbs, 14 oz with the tale of the tape being 22″ long. Mom and baby (& Dad) are doing great.

A first glimpse.
