Annick 28 weeks, Luca 30 months

Pineapple!

Annick:
- sitting up on her own - in the space of a day went from floppy ragdoll who had to be lashed to her high chair to muscular self-sitting dynamo!
- EATING LIKE A RAVENOUS WILDEBEEST.  Has taken to finger food like a champion.
- sleeping better both during the day and sometimes even at night
- just one adorable bundle of giggly delightfulness

Luca:
- singing!  Mostly nursery rhymes interspersed with Phil Collins and Cohen's Hallelujah.
- building!  with blocks and duplo.
- favourite words at the moment: 'look!', 'Luca's', 'oiseau', 'fire engine', 'house'
- everything belongs to him - "look!  it's my dog!  he is sleeping in my doghouse.  that's my tree."  ALL LIES.
- whingy whingy mcwhingy
- but still a squishy little poppet of sweetness

Awesome sitting skills.

Patiently awaiting her turn with the Tintin.

Building a dining chair fort!

That's her thumb.

Such a ray of sunshine!

Enjoying the bucolic view from our rural balcony.

Luca helps mama with the laundry.  It only takes about one hour to load the machine, by the time he has put in the clothes one by one, identifying each piece's owner, taking everything out halfway through, then putting everything back.

Super tummy time skills!

Luca is all about the vehicles.

Luca, Celine and Robert discuss current affairs.
