One thing we're missing while in Cameroon is a whole year in the lives of some of our smallest San Francisco friends: Dahlia, Gabriel, Ivan, Sahara, and Samuel, all of them no more than one, some only a few months old. We'll have to wait 'til our return to meet Calla and baby Bratt Porter and our new niece Anna Marie, all born while we're away. And of course there's our fine nephew Calvin, by far the eldest at nearly three, learning new tricks and words and songs every day. A year in the lives of any of these little people is HUGE: the amount of life they've lived will double, or more than double, while we're away. They'll grow, they'll change, sprout teeth and perhaps learn to walk.
Fortunately, we have a baby friend here, the child of one of our co-workers. He's about 11 months old, named Imaan, but his friends call him Boo-boo. I took a few pictures the other night at his house, early in the evening when he was still shy and serious. Believe me, as the night wore on he was delighting us all with his smiles and crows and near attempts at walking.

I dunno if the video is going to be do-able with your connection... but the photos should be easy:
