13 mois

13 months - ack!  Where does the time go?

So much happening...
- cruising around the furniture
- singing along to twinkle twinkle little star, making the hand movements (some of them!)
- talking all the time in his own language
- exploring like a demon
- really likes opening and closing doors
- batting his eyelashes and flirting madly
- complete cuddlemonster

Some of 13 month old Luca's favourite things:

Rearranging the bookshelves.  Onto the floor.

The telephone (ongoing).

Remote controls (also ongoing).

Lemons.  No, I don't know either.

His special Luca laptop.

Chatting to papa.

The swing!

Banging on tables with his hands.

Exploring fruitbowls.  Also fruit baskets and fruit boxes.

Plates.  Also bowls, cups, spoons.

Other things Luca has done this month:

Cried.  (Quite a lot).

Eaten.  (Also quite a lot).

Sung Twinkle Twinkle Little Star with accompanying hand movements.

Had a birthday party at Kheng Ee's house.

Eaten a whole piece of birthday beetroot chocolate cake himself.

Gone swimming in the spa!

Hung out with the guys in the spa.

Gone for papa's birthday dinner at Mabrown and had fun with Mei Ling Ee (Uncle Jerome slightly less impressed).

Grown his hair, just to see how it looks.
