Photos!

I'm going to put more photos on here as soon as we're settled in at home! We don't even have the internet yet and I still have to find my computer so as soon as I get it all sorted out there are going to be some of Mummy's fine photography!!!

First trip to the zoo!

We're back in England for a week at the Grandparents' and yesterday for the first time Flavio saw some 'real' animals! He loved watching the giraffes which is also the theme of his bedroom at home and he saw the lions first which he laughed at and pointed to. The weather wasn't perfect and he got sleepy in the afternoon so he didn't see it all but he was definitely impressed!
I bought him a squeaking monkey souvenir which he attaches to his quadbike and rides around the kitchen with! He now does stunts on his quadbike, standing on the seat with one hand on the handlebars!
The Gramps adore him!

Growing up

He's growing up and already walking quite well. He just loves walking, he could walk for miles. If there's not a lot of room he'll just walk in circles! Whatever he does he has to be on the move.
He waves his little hand and says "Hiiii!" Even when people say "Ciao!" to him he'll reply with a cute little Hi!
I'd love to write here more often. I just wish I had the time, I wonder when I'll ever have time on my hands again to capture these little memories and enclose them forever in this blog. My baby is growing up and everything he does amazes me and gives me so much inspiration to record it here but after a while that little memory vanishes and doesn't have the same effect looking back with just little glimpses of recollection. I want to change it all into words and celebrate this beautiful time of my little angelcake and never forget what a blessing I've received.
He's become so affectionate, kissing and hugging and making sweet sounds whenever he sees a teddy bear or a picture of a little animal. He grabs me around the neck and kisses me with such force!
I love the person he's becoming.
I love our quiet times together.
I love spending all day with him and having his presence in every little thing I do.
I love lying in bed and remembering the day we've spent together when he's fast asleep in his cot and thinking that it's the only company I could ever stand that long.
He has his little tantrums too, his feistiness and his off days of course but I've learnt to handle these moments the best I can and I'm forever learning to teach him what I feel is the best way to go about certain situations.
Times are hard at the moment. We've just moved into our new house and we don't even have a sofa yet. I have to start studying again for the last year. I have so much to do but he is always the priority. I could never neglect him. Until he needs me, I'll always be there and even after that...
