We love our friends on O’ahu very much, and we can’t wait for you to meet Miles. But we decided that we needed to spend a week of catching up on sleep and snorkeling and hanging out with Grand Mimi, so we’re spending our whole time in the islands on idyllic West Maui (thanks Dave!)Continue reading “West Maui”

Here are some pics of Miles perfecting his pincer grasp at dinner… And on Monday we drove Uncle Paul back to SF and let Miles expend some energy in Golden Gate Park. He finally decided it was ok to crawl on grass, lured by my cell phone…. http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf

Lest the pictures are not obvious, the Kuo-Kiefer-Carpios love to eat! We had lunch at Aquis Mexican, and another Chinese banquet place. The banquet halls are identified in our family by a defining feature (the one with the duck fat loaf — a favorite of Suzie, or the one who’s chef cooked for the PresidentContinue reading “San Jose Part 2”

We arrived in San Jose on Saturday after a fairly calm flight. Miles did pretty well, and was thrilled to get off the plane! We went to dim sum in Mountainview (the best dim sum Brett and I had in a very long time!) with JoJo and Uncle Paul. And then Miles got to expendContinue reading “San Jose Part 1”

The blog is back! We’ve moved: 110 West 96th Street, #2C, NY, NY 10025 and are mostly unpacked and settled in, despite some hectic work and travel schedules! This past weekend, Miles got to meet Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa, along with Great Aunt Cyndi and Great Uncle Michael, his second cousins Victoria, Isabel, and Gabby ….Continue reading “Miles in ATL….”

We are here for the Society of General Internal Medicine Meeting at the hip, happenin’ Fontainebleau Hotel…spotted last week — Regis and Kelly… Spotted this week: Miles Henry Kiefer, scoping the ladies at the kiddie pool, watching the waves, eating gelato, and getting some sun (well sun-screened, of course). He was a doll on theContinue reading “Miles in Miami!”

Brett discovered the other day that Miles has pretty much gone from scooting to crawling, especially when he gets good traction with his bare feet and legs. Check out the GI Joe Commando Crawls:

Last night was pizza night and everyone enjoyed the pepper-tomato-caper white pizza. Thanks Grandpa John for the book — Miles especially enjoyed gnawing on the crust I made from scratch! And here’s a picture of the father and son matching Billabong swim trunks made from recycled bottles!! So cool! Thank you Grand Mimi! http://picasaweb.google.com/s/c/bin/slideshow.swf

We took Miles to the pediatrician today for his 6-month checkup, and she confirmed a suspicion we have held for the last couple of weeks: Miles is now Quite Tall and only Kinda Fat. I hope you’ll join us in a tearful farewell to the Wow Look at Those Chubby Cheeks era; I guess itContinue reading “End of an Era”
