We're Back!

Birds' eye view of Luka in his Ergo Baby on his daily
hike Scarborough beach - 2 August 2011

Well, to say that we have been *busy* might be the understatement of the century!  Since writing last, Luka has jetted off to the UK to attend his mommy's graduation from Oxford, followed by a fabulous trip to gorgeous Edinburgh with uncle Jason and aunt Sarah before they head back to Washington DC.  One of the questions that everyone asks is 'how is Luka with flying' and I am happy to report - he is an expert flyer  - which is a good thing, since we calculated by the time he reaches Timor-Leste in September, he will have flown 70+ hours (too bad he is not eligible for frequent flyer miles yet :)

I will endeavor to update the blog over the next few days with photos (which I will post on the date with which they correspond, so please scroll down to see new photos).

The most important thing is that Luka was at his pediatrician yesterday who is just amazed at his progress and development.
Currents Stats:
5.10kg, or nearly 11lbs4oz.
59cm or 23inches

The doctor was especially surprised at how much he not only smiles, but audibly laughs.  He is also a pretty avid 'talker' now with loads of "cooohs" "Eeeeeew"'s! and some other fabulous shrieks.  Of course, all this voice training has also led to a much more convincing cry!

Please bear with me as I update the photos, and most importantly, enjoy these new precious images of our little man!
