week 105

We now have a 2 year old! Dad had a chance to wish him happy birthday on the day, then he came in to visit at work for lunch, and then we trekked out to the western suburbs for a dinner – it was a long day for him indeed, but he slept well at the end of it!

People were very generous to him: he had a range of gifts: one of his favourites is this couch. We’ve seen him have a great time on these toddler couches at other peoples’ houses, but we were surprised at how much he’s taken to it – if he decides he wants to read a book by himself, he’ll reliably sit down on his couch to read it.

Though he still has a tendency to blow kisses at the camera when he notices one, we can usually distract him by asking him to say “fishsticks”. The rest of the time he pulls this face.

Here’s a rare sight of what Puff might look like in the future.

He had a great time at a small, family barbecue on Sunday, with great weather (and Dad having his first solo attempt at cooking on a barbecue), but there were a couple of moments where he decided to rest.

One surprise this afternoon was when Mum came into his room to check on him after his nap. He’s worked out how to take his nappy off, and is – by all reports – pretty pleased with himself for working it out!

Later in the week, we opened another present, this time from another Uncle. some more details of that next time, but here’s what the wrapping looked like: thanks Uncle M!
