Mr grabby

Posted by: Lydia in Family, Shiny things, Uncategorized, tags: Baby

Over the weekend, Hayden discovered that his hands belong to him. He is now reaching and grabbing and very awkwardly moving objects around. Often a quick rattle or squeeze toy is all it takes to stop the tears and cause him to break out into a huge grin. Yesterday Adrian looked in the nappy bag and asked:
(1) Do we now have to carry Sophie with us whenever we leave the house?
(2) How is it that I know the name of the giraffe?

About Us

Two Australian scientists who emigrated to Belgium, and are enjoying the charms and challenges of living in Europe. We were joined in our adventures by our kittens Pepper and Mint in 2009, followed by our son Hayden in 2011. Most of the time, Adrian takes the photos and Lydia writes the words. Adrian's blog can be found here. We can be contacted at
