OK, so this weekly update thing is gradually crumbling and we should probably move to months… nevermind, here’s a little update.

As you can probably guess from the video above, Ruben’s been on the go again, getting more stamps in his passport. This time he was off to Istanbul (Turkey) and Rome (Italy) accompanying his Mum who was speaking at a couple of conferences. He helped keep Dad entertained while Mum was busy with work. He also kept quite a portion of the population of Istanbul entertained, as where ever he went people stopped in the street to say hello to him, and wanted to pick him up and give him a cuddle. While we were visiting the Spice Market a young girl even got her mother to take a photo of her with Ruben – what a rockstar 🙂
The weather was warm and he *may* have gotten a scerrick of a suntan, but lots of fanning and water seemed to keep him pretty comfortable. He also seemed to enjoy the local cuisine and tasted a range of yummy dips and sauces in Istanbul and lots of cheese and gelato in Rome (I haven’t uploaded that video yet… )
He also got to go for some swims in the pool at the fancy Hilton hotel we stayed at in Rome (where the conference was being held).
Another thing that Ruben has been doing a lot of lately is eating. He has eaten lots and lots of different types of fruits and vegetables and yoghurt now, and hasn’t found a food he doesn’t like.

We’ve been too busy doing things like going to the movies to see Wall-E or having lunch with Teresa the Midwife to get to the Baby Clinic to see how big he is these days, but as an indication, a pair of shorts we bought the other day that were supposedly for 6-12 months only just fit him, and another pair that are supposed to be for 12-18 months olds fit perfectly (although, perhaps Baby Gap just size small?) He’s a little big for size zero Bonds gear, but size one is still a little big on him. (We know this because we recently received a package from granny with some new Bonds gear – just in time! Ruben now has his very own track suit, an important milestone in any young mans life, no? Pictures to follow – we have to wait for a nice cool day. Being the middle of summer in London, it won’t be long!)
More soon, we promise!
