Baby boy Komulainen... Poika vauva Komulainen

Here is picture of his face. Naama kuva
Here is a good shot of nose and mouth. Nenasta ja suusta hyva kuva!
Here he is with his thumb up! Tassa poitsu on jo peukut pystyna!

We had an ultrasound last week and the baby is still a boy! The penis was seen...again! Aki and Maya were with me at this ultrasound. Everything is going perfect! Very active baby... (and why does not that surprise me!?!?) And the ultrasonographer said that he looks like Maya!!
Any boy name ideas out there? We are having a hard time picking out a name. We want something simple and that can be said easily in both Finnish and English....

Me kavimme ultraaanikuvauksessa viime viikolla ja vauva on viela POIKA!~ Penis nakyi! Aki ja Maya olivat myos mukana. Kaikki menee hyvin. Vauva on aktiivinen (yllari!?!?) Ja kuulema on Mayan nakoinen vauva!
Oisko nimi ehdotuksia? Meilla on ollut vaikeaa keksia nimia talle pojalle. Haluamme semmoisen nimen minka voi sanoa molemilla kielella....

Maya

Here is Maya all dressed to play this afternoon. It was -4F and a slight breeze. We were outside for less than 15 minutes because of the cold! But at least we got outside!
Aki went hunting yesterday and got a caribou. Now we will have a freezer full of meat! One of his buddies got a wolf!

Tassa on Maya ulkona leikkimassa tanaan iltapaivana. Pakkasta 25 astetta ja vahan tuuli. Oltiin pihalla alle 15 min mutta onneksi paastiin edes vahaksi aikaa ulos!
Aki oli metalla eilen ja sai caribou:n. Nyt tulee pakastin tayteen lihaa! Hanen ystava ampui suden! (ei ole laitonta taalla..!)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Maya the baker! Meidan pikku leipuri!

Maya and her grandparents. .. Maya ja hanen isovanhemmat

we made it home safe and sound. and again Maya did a great job traveling. The weather in Miami was 75F when we left and it was -11F in Bethel when we arrived. 86 degree difference! I miss the florida weather already! It's still cold today- around -11F still but it's supposed to warm up to 0F tomorrow and +15F by Monday! Heat wave!

Paasimme turvallisesti kotiin ja taas Maya matkusti erittain hyvin, onneksi! Miamissa oli +23C kun lahdimme ja Bethelissa -23C kun saavuimme! Ikava on Floridan lampoa! Tanaan viela saman verran pakkasta mutta pitaisi olla vaan -16C huomenna ja vaan -10C maanataina! Lampo aalto tulossa!
