We are excited to announce the birth of our second baby girl, Kayla Xamita Hansen (เคย์ลา ซมิตา แฮนเซน).

Our new little girl was born yesterday, December 29th.  As with Lalita, Pook had a c-section and seems to be recovering nicely.  I was present for the surgery and the doctors all seemed to do a wonderful job.  It seems crazy that after surgery starts it is only about 5 minutes before the baby is out and crying.

Kayla is doing great and has been an easy baby so far which we are very thankful for!  She weighed 3.4 kg (about 7.5 pounds).  Lalita enjoys looking at her and saying “baby”.

We will be here at the hospital until Saturday.  Thanks for everyone’s prayers and thoughts!

Lalita had a checkup today now that she is 16 months.  She is 30 inches tall and weighs 24 pounds.  For Thai kids that puts her on par with 18 month olds.

Today she also got her chicken pox vaccine.  She handles vaccines pretty well – cries a bit but as soon as it’s done she’s fine.

Lalita is now 6 months old and we wanted to post some more photos. Hopefully we can get some video online sometime soon.  Lalita already has two bottom teeth, and she likes chewing all of her toys.  She has started rolling over but sometimes she has problems and can’t quite make it all the way over.  She can also balance herself sitting up.
