Lucas baptism

Saturday the 23rd of December Lucas got his baptism. Although he was happy most of the time talking and walking arround in the church he was the only kid of 6 that cryed while getting water on his head. Otherwise everything went fine and it was all over in les than 1 hour. Afterwords we went to Mirians appartment for dinner and some champagne.....
The pictures is a bit blurry because I didnt bring my camera so all the pictures comes from Lauras old pocket camera.

Lucas first Christmas

For his first Christmas, his babtism and first bithday Lucas got a police car from Lauras friend. He dont understand it yet but that time will come. It was with electric motor, sirens, light and blinkers. He also got some other tous and clothing from Mom and Dad in Sweden.

First step

Finaly the 19th of December Lucas started to walk by himself. Here he goes for Laura and safety. He is still a bit chicken to do it and need a gentle push but then he wont stop untill he hit a wall, furniture or a person.








He could probably have done it before because on the 4th try he walked 10-15 meters following his cousin Jon.

Lucas walker

Back in our appartment in Quito we ran the first day to by a walker for Lucas and ever sense then....














....we wonder how we could have survived without one. Lucas is running arround and playing by himself and we can do something else for a minute or two.
