A new sun hat

The weather is so hot at the moment, and the sun so strong and Toby's hair is getting so thin..... so a new hat was in order

Monday-itus

We had a very relaxing weekend, lunch at Chantel and Jason's house on Saturday, and we went to the craft market yesterday, it was a beautiful sunny day. We bought Toby some handmade things and just food stuff for us. I turned a box of juicy peaches into a trifle in the evening.
Today is very hot, so me and Toby have stayed indoors with the air conditioning on, up in my studio. I haven't managed to get much done today though, I think the little monster has a touch of Monday-itus. There have been a lot of baby tears today, and I'm at a loss as to know why.

But earlier on this morning, he was very cheerful as we played together, Toby on his tummy.

Happiness.....

is watching Toby laughing.
He was so proud, sitting up all by himself (with a few pillows behind him...)and so happy, it was contagious.

Feet

Toby is obsessed with his feet, and so am I.
I can watch him for hours as he rolls around from side to side, clutching at them, pulling them, flinging them in the air and staring at them. They are his new favourite toy.
He loves playing with them so much he barely keeps them still. Which meant photographing them today took a long time, and literally hundreds of shots to capture them properly.
These are my favourite feet, they are so little, so perfect.

Toby's new girlfriend

This is Toby and his girlfriend Amelie.
She's only 4 weeks old, I can't believe how tiny they are at that age, I'd forgotten already. She made Toby look all grown up.
And here are the 2 proud fathers.

Once we got home me and Toby had a little play on the roof terrace

My two favourite boys

Afternoon Tea

Delicious!
We ate so much

we all felt sick

and had to go home for an early evening nap.

Still smiling

The little man just keeps on smiling, especially when the camera comes out.
For the first time, Toby is now initiating smiles. He looks right into my eyes and beams at me, even when I am not smiling at him, it's really a beautiful moment.
He's laughing a lot more too, especially when I blow raspberries on his bare belly.

Smiley, happy baby

A new card reader has been purchased, so I can put on some new photos.
All of the sleeping that Toby has been doing of late is making him such a happy little thing.

And this is him in a more contemplative mood during some nappy free time. Its been so warm here the last few days, he likes nothing better than rolling around on some towels being completely naked and free.

Our card reader has stopped working so I can't transfer any pictures onto the computer, which is why I haven't posted for so long.
Toby and me are getting back into our little routine now that his Dad is back at work, which involves a little bit of sleeping in in the morning, a daily stroll to the local shops and lots of playing. He is still continuing to love sleep, which I am savouring for as long as it lasts.
But here's a lovely pic of Toby and his Dad taken last week while he was still on holiday, for you to enjoy, until I get around to purchasing a new card reader....
