14 mois, 1 semaine

Because it seems a long time between updates.  Just a few photos from the past week.

14 mois

14 mois - beau garcon

This month:
- saying papa and possibly actually meaning it
- taking his first real steps!  But not very confident about it.

- dancing!  Like Stevie Wonder!
- waving (for real now)
- pulling to standing
- starting daycare
- two colds, a flu, an ear infection and a perforated eardrum.  Two rounds of antibiotics!

 A month of snot and ickiness.

But still a happy monkey.

Luca's pompom hat gets lots of compliments.  Thanks Colin!

Mama makes Big Butt Baby Pants!

Luca likes books very much.

Luca also likes pots.  And crying.

Luca usually carries something around with him as he explores the apartment.

Luca has new mittens!

Luca is a little Bhutanese baby!

Luca is a demon on wheels.  Luca also likes sticking out his tongue this month.

13 mois

13 months - ack!  Where does the time go?

So much happening...
- cruising around the furniture
- singing along to twinkle twinkle little star, making the hand movements (some of them!)
- talking all the time in his own language
- exploring like a demon
- really likes opening and closing doors
- batting his eyelashes and flirting madly
- complete cuddlemonster

Some of 13 month old Luca's favourite things:

Rearranging the bookshelves.  Onto the floor.

The telephone (ongoing).

Remote controls (also ongoing).

Lemons.  No, I don't know either.

His special Luca laptop.

Chatting to papa.

The swing!

Banging on tables with his hands.

Exploring fruitbowls.  Also fruit baskets and fruit boxes.

Plates.  Also bowls, cups, spoons.

Other things Luca has done this month:

Cried.  (Quite a lot).

Eaten.  (Also quite a lot).

Sung Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with accompanying hand movements.

Had a birthday party at Kheng Ee's house.

Eaten a whole piece of birthday beetroot chocolate cake himself.

Gone swimming in the spa!

Hung out with the guys in the spa.

Gone for papa's birthday dinner at Mabrown and had fun with Mei Ling Ee (Uncle Jerome slightly less impressed).

Grown his hair, just to see how it looks.
