A place at the table

Several hours later... here are Finlay and Christine actually sitting at the table together. They're watching that video with Jimmy Kimmel and Ben Affleck. Yeah, you remember the one. That one. The plate in the picture was sent flying to the floor a few moments later and broke into several pieces. That had nothing to do with the video.

Box Baby

Finlay this morning in the box for his new "Stokke" highchair - a tasteful (and expensive) baby seat for him at the kitchen table. The box was fascinating - a smaller box was successfully used as a little motor car in which Finlay went driving around the living room...

Finlay and Fruit

Finlay today comparing various types of fruit. Finlay went to the doctor today with his father, and then to the zoo with his mother. Apparently Finlay babbled at the fish and shouted at the monkeys, but became very quiet and humble around the very large elephants...

A Purposeful Stride

Read the post below to find out where/why this photo was taken. This is Christine with an extremely purposeful march across a landing field on her way to see Finlay.

(She also uses the same very vigorous stride when Finlay manages to crawl to the cats' litter box)

Brave Finlaymother!

Here is Christine after completing a 4 km tandem skydive with "Api", her jumpmaster. There are photos of Christine from before the jump looking very nervous, which we won't publish.

Finlay has a very brave mother! Finlay's father jumped last year (with Finlay's godfather and Tomas), but Christine couldn't go, since Finlay was already a bun in the oven at that time. Now she's caught up. Cool experience, and definitely something we'll offer to Finlay when he's a little bit older. Thanks very much to gojump.de, who offered us a professional, safe and very friendly skydiving experience!

Another photo with a leaf from today

This ws Finlay today at Gransee, a small village 65 km outside of Berlin. Finlay amused himself with a leaf (after crawling all over the grass) while his mother jumped out of an airplane.

Leaf hunting - successful!
