2.5 weeks old!

Our first walk with the Mountain Buggy. At Foxton Beach with both Grandmas.

It's hard to imagine that we have had Luca for about 2.5 weeks. He's already changed so much - his eyes are begining to focus more and we think he can see further away. He responds to the sound of Mom and Dad's voice, and boy is he strong! He can just about hold up his head, and he likes to look from side to side. He also is fan of kicking his legs around (especially during diaper changes). I expected our newborn to be a bit of a 'blob' for at least a month - but from just about day 1 he was moving around. He must have inherited the strength genes from James :-)

Grandma Cassie with Luca - out enjoying the sunshine at Bruce and Jo's house. We have been venturing out a bit with Luca. He's spent the night at beach and also been on a little road trip to Rotorua with Grandma Cassie and my cousin Jenny - who just flew into NZ a few days ago.

A pit stop in Taupo on our way to Rotorua.
The boys resting at our accomodation in Rotorua.
Jenny, Mom, and I went to a Maori dinner show while in Rotorua. Yes, it was a bit cheesy, but I have to admit it was pretty interesting. Walks through the 'bush', glow worms, wariors in a canoe, and then the typical song/dance/war/haka performances and Hungi feast. The hungi feast was so tasty - definitly the best I had ever had in NZ. There was heaps of food, so it felt like you were sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner.
