Hugo at two months

Hugo is about to celebrate his 2 month birthday on Thursday. He is growing well and is smiling all the time now, though this is pretty difficult to catch on camera because he tends to get distracted. Even when he isn’t smiling, he is very cute:

Welcome to California

Simone, Hugo and I are one week into an eight week stay in California (Mountain View) while I start my new job. Hugo tolerated the ~16 hour transit very well, not crying once on the plane. Driving on the wrongright side of the road isn’t as difficult as I thought it would be, but being a pedestrian accustomed to left hand driving is decidedly dangerous - cars just seem to leap out from surprising directions at intersections.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any photos to post yet as I managed to lose the camera on our second day here. Worse, the camera contained all of our photos from Fathers’ day onwards and there is no getting those back. Mum, who has just arrived for a two week visit, has picked up a replacement on the way so I’ll have to take more to compensate.

We are about to head up the 101 to San Francisco, so today should be interesting…
