March & April 2003 : 20 to 22 months   Download times...
These two months saw Raffy growing stronger, running faster and beginning to speak. He has begun to put two or three words together and it is possible to have little conversations with him (usually about hunting bears, aeroplanes in the sky, or other animals). Raffy is always getting into scrapes and his face has not been without some sort of bump or scratch for the last 3 months! He has a wonderful sense of humour and we can often see him thinking "What can I do that will make Mummy & Daddy laugh?"... but on the other hand he also has a fearsome temper and the "terrible twos" are upon us a little early. Still, it's all part of the adventure!   Please note that in order to present large, high-quality pictures, this page may take almost a minute to download completely. The first few pictures will be visible quickly, but please have patience with the rest!

Raffy with a microphone
In March, at Ruth & Nathan's house, Raffy discovered this wonderful keyboard and microphone, and had a great time. The album comes out later this year...

  A grab for the camera
Taking pictures of Raffy can be tricky at times, especially when he decides he wants the camera.
