check out his swim diaper! :) trying to get him alittle wet before going down... still suspicious... still clingy the papa finally got his feet in for a start... just the feet!

so that's what he's been busy with in the cot... caught in the act! what a show-off

Wow! I still can't believe it's been 8 months since I've had Luca. They say a baby grows up really fast, especially his first year... but this is toooooo fast! 4 more months and he's gonna be a toddler! Today, this not so small fellow gave me ...
