Annick - 8 weeks, Luca - 25 months

How time does fly!

Annick:
- growing lightning fast - already stretching out her first set of clothes and into 00s (boo hoo!)
- the end of the endless pooping phase, which sadly means the beginning of saving all the poop up for a surprise daily explosion era
- smiles smiles smiles!
- sloooowly getting there with the day sleeps, but still a champion night sleeper - yay!  Her first eight hour stint last night (from 7 to 3AM, but better than nothing)

Luca:
- cheeky bugger understands French but insists on speaking English because he knows it annoys papa
- still all about the TRUCKS - categorised as follows: 'big wows' are huge freight trucks, rubbish trucks, concrete mixers and (my favourite) beer trucks; 'wows' are removalist trucks, delivery trucks, small but noisy trucks; 'no wows' are small quiet trucks not worthy of awe.
- favourite books are 'A Bit Lost' by Chris Haughton and 'Hairy McLairy and Zachary Quack' by Lyndsay Dodd in English, et 'Caca Boudin' et les Barbapapas en francais.

- un peu marabou, le petit grognon

We went to the Grampians for J's birthday weekend with Ah Ma and Ah Kong.  Here they are enjoying a walk, Luca particularly enjoying the opportunity to poke things with a stick.

Jason thinks about dinner.

Annick looks... something.

A variety of other Annick expressions:

(it's usually this one)

Luca and papa have fun at Roule Galette!

Luca makes art for papa and nonna's birthdays.

Annick is so Italian she gesticulates in her sleep.

Luca practises while awake.

Annick thinks Ah Koo should probably just shave off the beard already.

Annick is more impressed with Ee Kiong koo (brother of Wee wee koo) than she looks.

The end of a long day!
