18 mois

18 mois - une petite famille de 3.5

This month:
- drinking on his own from a real cup.  Very proud of himself, although quite wet too, as are the carpets, the sofa, the tablecloth...
- feeding himself with a fork or spoon.  SO PROUD OF HIMSELF.
- still refusing to walk on his own, but standing on his own pretty well
- this month's antibiotics: for yet more skin things and an ear infection that won't go away
- very fond of strawberries and dried cranberries
- chatty
- walks everywhere with mama and papa, holding their hands
- climbing climbing climbing
- can point to his head and nose, ou sa tete et son nez
- likes reading, can identify things in pictures and point to them
- incredibly grumpy, a proper toddler

We go to Kennett River.  Luca and Angus are serious readers.

Oh, uncle Andy, let ME show you how to wear a basket hat.

Still with the fingers.

Excellent cup drinking.

A fine Colombian brew, mild acidity, complex follow through.

Eating yoghurt with a spoon.

Eating pasta with a fork.

Eating granola with two hands.

The opposing philosophies of Playground Luca and Playground Angus:
- Angus: let go, I can climb on this dangerous swirly thing all by myself!
- Luca: please hold my hand while I ascend the stairs in a careful and safety-conscious manner.
