42 semaines - Luca Salopettes!

This week: more almost crawling but backwards; a bit whingy; haircut #5.

Luca reads the classifieds.

Luca reads his Baby Touch night time book.  Good night bumpy clock, no more tick tock.

Splish splash!

41 semaines - do you like my Timorese belt?

This week: the first cold :(; working out how to use squirty bath toys; almost almost crawling!

Is this:
a) naughty Luca?
b) dirty Luca?
c) conveniently contained Luca?

Luca likes mama's homemade sourdough bread with sour cherry jam from the summer.

Luca chooses his Canadian university in advance.

After the jump - the crawl (sort of)

40 semaines

40 semaines - les synapses!

This week: Kennett River!; maybe getting interested in crawling again; turning things around in his little hands; worked out how to use a straw!

Un beau matin a Kennett River avec mama.

"Un beau dimanche matin, le soleil se leve et POP!  Une minuscule chenille sort de l'oeuf."

Grace enjoys the view.

Grace teaches Luca the finer arts of sumo wrestling.

Kookaburra!

La plage.

At Oakridge winery with Ah ma.

La balancoire!

39 semaines - le Nino retourne!

This week: swimming classes; finally saying 'bababababa' instead of 'aaaaaaaaaa'; Luca has his own room, no longer with mama and papa.

An important Australian ritual - learning to swim.

Les bulles!

Luca est fatigue.

Luca est grognon.

Luca est un petit jouet dans un panier.

Luca est content.

Luca a faim.

Luca est un petit lapin.

First roti :)  @ Rich Maha in Waurn Ponds on the way to Kennett River...

38 semaines - Luca spaghetti

This week: spaghetti!; pushing things he doesn't want away with his little hands; very interested in patterns and graphic designs; still no crawling; a bit more waving; a mild episode of gastro :(

"Why, when I was your age I was already hauling coal through 500 feet of snow!  With no shoes on!  In the middle of the Manitoba plains in the winter!  While being chased by velociraptors!"

Luca tires of papa's boring stories.

Luca - Italian stallion.

Cheeky monkey.

L'histoire preferee de Luca - le Petit Chaperon Rouge (particulierement les oreilles - pour mieux t'entendre, mon enfant...)

Beau garcon.

More Luca spaghetti!

And more!

La famille x

37 semaines

37 semaines - this would have been his passport photo if not for the popiah beard.

This week - lots of laughing and smiling; cooing, singing, squealing; the beginnings of separation anxiety; starting to get shy with strangers.

$10 inflatable clown pool from Aldi!

Ha!

Ooh - new toy from Uncle Gabriel!

Probably time for a haircut.

It's true - his nonna does love him.

36 semaines

36 semaines - rocking the 80s legwarmers.

This week: waving! (for one morning anyway); pulling a toy on a string (Buzzy Bee - thanks kiwis!); tapping his hand on his mouth and going 'ahwawawawawawawa'.  And not allergic to peanuts! 

With papa at Cheeky Monkey for coffee.

Still good tummy time!

And good standing!

Reading with papa.

I think there is peanut butter on toast in those little hands.

Nice arse!
