 44 semaines - bebe elegant

This week: a bit happier walking with his little wooden trolley; all smiles and chuckles and just lovely; making new sounds like 'yo' and 'dja'; really likes turning pages in books; standing up holding onto things rather than people.

 Rrrarggh!

Luca at the park!

What's the hold up?  I have places to be.

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 - 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.

An important Australian ritual - learning to swim.
