Tim at nearly 2.5 years

Our little man is growing very quickly.  He can now talk very well and talks English to Jack and Russian to me.  German is a little worse so far, but there's still time.  We're in the middle of the age of tantrums and a few weeks ago I experienced our first classic 'in-the-shop' tantrum, with the whole deal - Tim throwing himself on the floor screaming, all the people looking at me as if I'm the worst mother in the world, etc etc etc   Other than that he is totally fascinated with all things to do with construction - diggers, loaders, cement trucks (absolute favourite atm)... so he gets really excited every time we pass by a construction site.

Here are a few photos.  On the second he's with Nastya (his now auntie - my brother's wife), and on the third we're with my Grandma, thus his great-grandma.
