| We used one of our fav pics, made it high-key and black and white and created the invites online |

| Sitting now |
|
| Hungry and clearly wants to be in control |
|
| Practicing Wing Chun Kung Fu, must have been watching me doing my forms! |
|
| Leo sleeping and looking cute as a button |
|
| Amazing, totally amazing, we saw the heart beat and it even rubbed its eyes and did a flip. On the slightly more worrying side, the hospital managed to spell my wife's name 3 different ways and the scan says 20 weeks even though it was only 10 weeks, hopefully their medical skills are better than their admin |

| Trying to talk |
|
| Playing with a puzzle, he is very precise in his movements prefering finger tips to palm |
|
| Finally awake and wondering what the big black box was - my trusty Minolta 7D to be precise |
|
| Burping time |
|
| Funny |
|
| Exploring drawers |
|
| Lovely, with the trauma of birth clerly visible |
|
| By day 3 he was even trying to hold his own bottle |
|
| Sitting and shouting, very loud and very high pitched ! You can just see his two lower front baby teeth coming through |
|
| It's a good thing it wasn't switched on |
|
| Leo loves his rocking horse |
|
| Leo and his first birthday card, generated by me using Vue Esprit |
|
| Leo and his first active Christmas, trying out one of his presents for size or taste in this case |
|
| Leo uncomfortable teething |
|
| Leo at a birthday party, his first invitation out |
|
| No washing machine in safe, it's a good thing our AEG is well made, the door has taken a hammering |
|
|
| Sleeping well, not something she would be doing much for a while |
|
| Ah, now my plan can commence |
|
| Relaxing on mum |
|
| Leo loves his (ok, his mums) mobile, and at exactly 1 year and 1 month Leo sent his first text message, "Tut" to his aunty. It's amazing how kids explore without restrictions |
|
| Leonidas Constantine Zacharia would not eat the first day, which is normal, but now he is gobbling the stuff up and has gone from 8lb 1oz to 9lb 15oz in 3 weeks |
|
| She was a healthy 7lb 1oz or 3.2kg |
|
| Cheeky little thing |
|
| Able to hold his own head up for short periods, and leap tall buildings in a single bound |
|
| We arrived at the hospital on a Monday late in 2008 and after over 24 hours of natural/induced labour, 2 epidurals (the first failed), our baby was delivered by c-section (with forceps) at 23:08 hrs late on Wednesday. Here you can see some bruising from the forceps but otherwise he was amazing |

| Bob the Builder - watch out |
|
| On a Friday late in 2010, Angela went in for a checkup, she was feeling a little uncomfortable, the doctor said she was 6 inches dilated and sent her straight to labour ward, later that same day Katerina arrived, eyes open and already curious about the world - amazing! |
