A Word or Two from 'Roki

I can get this baby up to 88 on a good day.



















Look at my lovely tooth. I grew it myself.











No time for pants, there's stuff to be had.














Care to join me on the bongos?

All the Way Home

Hiro is quite the expert crawler these days. Just pulling yourself along with your arms is so Last Month.

Watch him crawl the length of the apartment in under 4 minutes.
Roger Bannister was an amateur!

Are you ready Hiro? One....Two......Three.........

GO !!

Get Up, Stand Up

Hiro is quite the Mover and Shaker these days.
So much so that Child Locks are firmly in place and doors gated. He is developing quite a reach and can be pretty cunning when it comes to grabbing (and chewing) what he wants.

He loves pulling wires, eating cell phones and banging the top of the stereo bongo style.

But then who doesn't?

A Moment of Vanity in the Disney Donut

The Long and Winding Road

Hiro is getting pretty good at crawling now but has to stop for a breather.


After a short rest, he is ready to stalk his prey - the shiny garbage bag.

Feet Eater

The Way Forward

Hiro has finally managed to find FORWARD gear. Although his arms are doing most of the work, he is on his way. Watch his gleeful smile and chuckle as the camera gets within reach...

...and the winner is.....

Heh heh Daddy's cell phone tastes really good.

















What? Hey - Give that back! I was playing with that!!!!




















AAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!




Thankyou.

Think I'd better call for back up...

Hiro is 8 Months Old

That's Right!! 8 Months old and over 10 Kilos too!! He has almost got crawling figured out. He can do it but only in reverse gear so he sees something he wants to get hold of and then wrinkles his face in frustration and effort as he watches it sailing away from him. Hey! Come Back!! If at first you don't succeed...

Hiro in Nagano

We drove to Nagano for a couple of days this Golden Week. Hiro enjoyed courting everyone's attention.





OWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!




















Genki Boy!
