He's getting bigger and funnier by the day!

Home Alone with Mama

Otis is finding himself in the day to day company of happy yet tired-looking woman who seems unable to stop herself from cuddling him and talking in strange tongues at him.

Otis has been very lucky to have been given the most wonderful little outfits, hand knitted by loved ones. Here's one made by cousin Flora,

matched beautifully with this purple cardi and hat combo  from Granny Veck:

and smart booties from Alex and Cat!
 In other news, Aunty Paula came to stay (read: save the day) for a few weeks and we were out and about sight seeing and making the most:

Once a week or so, Otis chats to Nona and Tata in Australia,

 who are expert in speaking baby gaga:

Aunty Julie

 Otis loves receiving visitors and most recently 
he's been with Papa G Veck, Julie and Josie and co.











Otis also took his first long car ride last weekend, all the way to Portsmouth to visit Papa. Of course we had to make a pit stop on the way...     

    
















 

 ... and it was all cuddles and lots of snuggles with family for the day.

Back at home with Mama again:

Someody's learning to smile!

Little man has just started to show us his smile! How very clever he is!

In other news, Otis has put on 1kg in the last two weeks and is looking lovely and squishy.

To infinity and beyond...

 

We are very proud to present Otis' first mission into space.
