Luka is laughing, not crying, although it is hard to tell!


We left a suitcase in the middle of the floor and Luka thought it looked like a nice bed


Luka not a little bit mesmerized by the PSP.


Hanging out with Uncle Lawrence at Mikumi


Headphones, tassled beanie, fingers in mouth, carseat... can't get much cooler than that


Books are the best babysitters


Oh, do I love this face!


Luka sure loves his bath! Note: the water was muddy because it is river water, not because Luka was that filthy


Luka's first kiddie meal at Spur in Dar. I think Paul and I got more of a kick of it than he did!

Sorry for the poor quality--these were all taken on a cellphone camera.

Camping pictures, part II

Paul and Luka in the hand-me-down baby backpack (that was used to cart Colton Rabenold around. Yes, Colton is now 18)


Paul and Luka in the water! Apparently, I DID get a picture of Luka "swimming"


The boys

Camping pictures, part I

We went camping with our friends Andrew, Miriam, and Ben this past weekend. Luka loved being outside and was, for the most part, very happy and well behaved. Luka liked the river but hated the baby paddling pool Andrew brought along. He liked Andrew and Miriam but was scared of Ben. He liked hanging out without a diaper but didn't like lying exposed (he insisted on covering up with a kanga--what a modest guy!). This child is full of contradictions!


Paul, Kat, Luka, Ben, Miriam, and Andrew


Kat and Luka in the water (he later went in up to his chest and splashed around with us, but unfortunately, we were too busy playing to get any pictures!) I picked this pic to post because my arms look buff--oh wait, it's just the lighting. Oh well, at least you get the action shot of his arms waving frantically.


Playing with Ben and Luka (check out his new phone). Andrew in background.

Who needs a phone...

...when you've got a foot?

Let's try this again...

Luka on the couch at the Moyers' house

The Tube

Luka doesn't watch TV, but he does have a tube of toothpaste that he loves (despite the fact that he hates it when I try to brush his teeth). Sometimes he even goes to sleep holding the toothpaste (it has a childproof lid).


Here he is with his beloved tube, blocking the paparazzi
