Scrub-a-dub-dub - Luka is in the tub (again)

If the title of this post sounds familiar - it is.  Though, how could you not title it this...here is Luka, slightly more than a year after his very first bath in the NICU, enjoying bubbles (again courtesy of auntie Becca) - thanks to my procurement princess, Luka has two of the most enormous bottles of Johnson's baby bubble bath you can possible imagine - and was making 100% sure he enjoyed it to the fullest!

I simply could not resist these...and yes, he is a total poser!

We're going to have our hands full with this one....

Play nice...

 It has been so interesting watching Luka and his peers develop their own sense of 'self'.  We believe that all the interaction with other kids will (hopefully) lay the foundation for important notions like 'sharing', 'empathy' and other traits I suppose every parent aspires their children to have.  For the time being though the whole sense of where 'you' begin and where 'I' end is not always so clear.

Once upon a time there were two little boys who loved
to hang out together and play 

From time to time the two little boys would have a
disagreement about who's turn it was to play with
the toy...

And so they would have to sort it out
the only way boys know how...

...by strongly voicing displeasure at the
current state of things!

...with requisite retaliation of course.

IQ Blocks

Hm...get back here! 

And yes, he is this close to crawling - frightening I know!

I had the wisdom of buying a few toys before we came to Dili - for some reason these blocks caught my eye on Amazon - so happy to report that Master Luka loves them - and is becoming quite familiar with the notion of gravity as we tumble around these on our playmat.  It is them most incredible experience to watch their little brain develop - it's like you can hear the hamster on the wheel just running his little legs off.  And yes, for those who are wondering - I can report that Luka definitely has his mommy's lack of patience for failure...
