June

It's only the middle of June, but already so much has happened!

First of all, Luke learned how to read a newspaper (by watching Sesame Street's Murray's "Word of the Day: Newspaper))".

After that, Luke decided to tame some wild horses at the Brussels Medieval Fair. They don't look it in the picture but they were fierce!

Next, it was hide-and-seek with the blankets in his crib. This game lasted for hours!


Soon thereafter, Luke decided he was too big to still be in a crib, so he built himself a big boy bed, with the help of daddy and Ikea. He was quite pleased with the results. Check out his tool belt (thanks liz and dave!).


Then Lydia suddenly (time creeps up on you when you're having fun!) turned 6 months old! She loves carrots, her brother, laughing, and anything that makes an interesting noise!

All of this activity was tiring of course, so Luke and his dad took a very well deserved nap on (Belgium's) father's day.

I wonder what the rest of the month will bring??

New dance moves

Luke's been perfecting his dance moves, much to the delight of his sister (and parents). Watch and learn...

So, how are you?

Luke really likes asking "So, how are you?", or the french equivalent "Alors, ca va?". Especially to his sister...

Check out this video.

Poney

Luke's first (succesful) poney outing: a 45minute ride through the Provence country side with his nonna and cousins. I'm so proud of him!



You can also see Luke and his cousins in action here.

Chilling on the couch

Luke really likes to kiss and hug Lydia, and give her toys (but does not want to share his "doudou")...

Tenerife Sun

At the end of February, we took a quick 5-day getaway trip to Tenerife, part of the canary islands. These islands are similar to Hawaii, in that they are volcanic, in the middle of the ocean, and are blessed with good weather year round. We however had bad luck with the weather and had mostly overcast and slightly colder weather than usual. Not that you'd be able to tell with these pictures.
