Colour blind parents

Apart from making a fashion statement, I am posting this so that everybody can admire the nice sweater that was knit by aunt Zarina especially for our little hero. Now that his drooling has subsided a little it is safe for him to wear it...

Prego notare il fantastico golfino, fatto a mano dalla zia Zarina. Naturalmente lei non sospettava quali abbinamenti avremmo osato...

Spaghetti

It's getting cold around here...

Note the completely off-centered picture due to dad's request not to be in it...

Italian family

When you thought they would not come anymore, here they are: a few pictures from Italy!

In the first two our little hero is at my aunt's place, playing with her super-cute puppy shaped cushions. Appu loved my aunt's house so full of little glass objects and every sort of expensive and very fragile things... - we had to be faster than lightning to keep everything safe. In spite of that apparently now she misses him. Go figure... :)





The next pictures instead were taken at the airport the day we left.

My mom had a great time with Appu. They went to the park once while we were busy at the university for S's talk and apparently she demonstrated baby somersaults for him and even got him to try it once. Unfortunately we do not have pictures of that. Here they are together in a more quiet moment.



We end with a family picture. After several attempts and pictures we better not make public, I managed to trick my dad into smiling. Here we are!



Unfortunately I don't have any pictures with my sister, we will have to remedy it next time.

Poked... :(

Today morning we went to the doctor for Appu's 15 months vaccines (just a bit late, as usual - that's us... ). He didn't have much fun but seems to have recovered fine. He is also teething though, so we might have a rough night ahead of us, we shall see.

At the doctor's our little one was also weighed and measured. He weighs around 10.5 Kg and is 84 cm "tall". In case you care, he is in the 25th percentile for weight and in the 75th percentile for height: lean and tall, in short!

In other news, I found my camera and memory card reader today. They weren't really hidden, but somehow we couldn't find them and that is one of the many excuses for why there have been no pictures posted for ages. What excuse will I find next? Stay tuned...

Foto con la sposa

As some of you know well, one of the main attractions of our trip to Italy was the wedding of our friend Emiliano. Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures, so we are counting on the generosity of the newly weds to gift us some. For the moment we have been given permission to post this picture of our little Rajiv with the bride Ilaria.

The smashing kurta that Appu is wearing was shipped from India by Appu's grandmother, so let us take this chance to thank her again! And hopefully she will not mind when we will tell her what happened to the matching pants during the long day of celebrations....
