putting up the christmas tree

Hugh helps Daddy put up the tree...

steering wheel?

Bittersweet

We sold the walker today... feeling a little sad about it :(

little lego neighbourhood

Mummy built a little neighbourhood with Hugh's first lego set. It didn't survive long though as some human tornado flattened the whole place and left a large pile of rubble :)

what is this round object?

peek-a-boo

His eye getting better and he's a lot happier... playing peek-a-boo with Mummy.

1st molar

His 9th tooth is a pre-molar on the right lower jaw.

Conjunctivitis

Hugh's got his first case of conjunctivitis today :( Daddy reckons from the sand at the beach but who knows... Poor fella woke up the next day and couldn't open his eye; must have been quite scary as he probably didn't understand it. Oh sayang!

up & bird...

are the words he uttered today!

He repeated UP when we were looking at the helicopter flying by and needless to say BIRD when the winged creatures were flapping their wings over our heads. Don't ask me why the boy seems to be looking skywards.

sand castles

Hugh strolled into the room of Karen and Anne's last week and chatted with them before heading to their TV to change the channels.

They became fast friends and spent quite a lot of time together thereafter; went to the beach, watched the Zulu dance and had a few meals together. During a walk along the promenade to the lighthouse, Karen bought a shovel and bucket set for him. So here's the first sand castle made from the bucket. This blog entry is for both you ladies! It was really nice meeting you at Breakers Resort.



Mummy made a total of 15 sand castles with the bucket today. Yes, not all can be seen in the background here because someone destroyed a few of them before this photo was taken.... and the rest after.

a little trim

Mummy trimmed his fringe as it was closing in on his eyes. Not a bad job eh?

zulu dance - part 2

more pointing

the pointer

No, not you...



...him!



The boy points at everything these days... not sure what it is here.

hluhluwe game reserve

We did a self drive at the Hluhluwe Game Reserve. It boasts the Big 5- Lion, Leopard, Elephant, Buffalo and Rhino but we only managed to spot the latter 2.

The zebra is the first animal Hugh actually saw. In this photo he's pointing at it.






Here Hugh saw the rhino and was almost in awe although you can't tell in this video.

zulu dance - part 1

Up close and personal with a Zulu.

talk about sand art

habits die hard

14 months later and he still adopts this sleeping position.

favourite game with daddy

at the beach

This is his first time at the beach and he was really fascinated with the texture of sand.

greetings from durban

This is the resort we're staying at.


Hugh's right at home!
