I played Rock Yourself to Sleep a little too well and voilà.

At our bedouin camp.

Here I am with my newborn son, just after he was born and got some mommy time.

Meredith is happy and healthy, and fed him shortly after this shot was taken.

Soooo grateful right now!

Leo and Ansel loved our special tour of the Grand Mosque.

Leo observes the rest of Masdar City under construction, due to complete in 2025.

Leo went up and down the entire giant dune about five times.

Leo explores the home of a friend.

Woo!

A piece of driftwood at Ocean Beach.

They strap electrodes to his head and then emit slight sounds to make

his brain wave.

Here he is totally concentrating, making waves.

Leo has excellent hearing.

Just what we ordered

Leo just couldn't resist one more climb.

How far will he go?

Leo looks back at the beautiful and sprawling Dubai International Airport as we depart.

Leo and Ansel had the run of the place while we got a tour. The mosque is very tolerant of children.

Not only has 11-month-old Leo been walking for a while, but he's taken to dancing while he DJ's.

He'll even dance while Meredith and I play guitar and drums!

We finally got ourselves a proper LCD for movies and other non-televised entertainment. Here it is, playing iTunes while Leo enjoys the taste of MacGyver's dog toy.

Leo is so content.

A father's touch.

I think we have the same sense of humor!

Compare with his first photo.

Leo, ready for "school" on his first birthday.

Leo blesses the tree with his almighty spatula.

Leo loves bathtime!

Age 2.

Leo and his friend Dylan Peters bond over a great pumpkin.

filled with water.

Is fine. He got the tip of a finger squished in a door jamb at school, so we had him checked out.

Phew no break!

Leo's entire foot is the size of my big toe.

Leo makes the silliest faces - this was in the middle of a nap, caught on digicam.

Too much.

35,000 feet above the North Pole.

With her new object of spoilage, Leo Thomas.

Here the boy enjoys some peace, while we update his telemetry at TrixieTracker.

He's tracking well - already back up to his birth weight!

He makes the floor lights work like transporter pads.

Look, mom - hair!

Leo likes to use his fingers on the piano, as much as he likes to wham on it.

The boy has dynamics.

Chilling on a hot day!

The trip went by quickly, but it was worth it.
