"A portrait of Atticus, once a week, every week, in 2014."

Atticus: looking up at his Dada.

I have tried to be pretty discipled this year and select only one shot per week but this week it was virtually impossible. We drove up to the Dandenongs during Easter weekend for a walk in the forest and to take Fil's new car for a drive. Atticus managed to complete the 2km return walk solo, without having to be carried, which was a majour achievement for us all! We kept the walk relaxed, pointing out mushrooms, watching ants scurry up trees, racing each other in certain places, skipping, singing songs etc... Anything to keep this little toddler busy enough not to resort to winging. These series of shots show Atti's delight in learning how to make a bird/rooster sound by blowing onto a blade of grass, stretched between Dada's hands! And he got it! He figured out how to do it... The excitement on this sound-effect-loving kid's face is just priceless!

Also, here is last year's visit to the Dandenongs.
