NEW YORK

On December 29th - 30th I spent 24 hours in New York City with Jon. The point was to meet up with Skye and James (we haven't seen each other in over 3 years!!!!) We managed to fit in: a tour in a packed Guggenheim, a walk down Park Avenue a diaper blowout in a hotel room and brunch at the Parker Meridian before returning home. It was wonderful to see Skye & James again and Jon absolutely fell in love with Skye - well who wouldn't? Look out James...

Ball Skills

No, not what you might think despite the Blog title...

Jon, like Luc, is fascinated by balls. I was given a gift certificate to Babies R'Us from the lovely ladies at ERPI (publishing company where I work) and decided to splurge on this play mat for Jon. As you can see, he LOVES it!

(Luc of course, has already tried the play mat out several times, crawling through the hoops and declaring "Mummy too big! Luc!" Indeed...

Cooing Baby

WARNING: This one is only for grandparents, parents and others soppy enough to sit through 45 seconds of video. (Need to update my imovie skills...)

This is a video of Jon cooing and smiling for the camera - he is a lovely, chatty baby and I wanted to capture this on camera.

Two Boys in Bed

We've started a new ritual on the weekend: everyone piles into our bed ("BIG BED") and Luc gets to watch Dora the Explorer while we all have a cuddle. Here is a sleepy Luc & brother Jon snapped on one occasion, with Gilbert & the boys on another.
