Trying food for the first time...mashed fruit...YUM YUM!

At 5 months Rafael is now weighing 7,180 kgs and measuring 67cm...he has footballer's legs and is already sitting up and will stand up holding the furniture...a very strong little boy indeed. He has also learnt to scream...not a very nice trick, but it is amazing how they already know at such a young age what they are doing...and laughs at me when he gets told off!!! Unbelievable!!!!!!!! Now at 5 1/2 months Rafael has just started eating mashed fruits (up until now he has been only on breast milk). Here are a few photos of Rafael trying mashed banana and papaya...it was soo funny! He now puts everything he can get his hands on into his mouth to taste!!


Yum Yum...banana and papaya!


Open wide...


Anyone want some?


Look at me...


I have big, strong legs!

Trip to Teresopolis and Petropolis

The wind blowing in his face...he loved it!
