7 weeks old

Joulu is 7 weeks old and is in full-on socialisation mode now, getting out and about to see the big wide world and meet some people (socially distanced, of course).  He's copying his mum and learning a lot from her - the good stuff, hopefully!  Just look at the photo of them sitting waiting for dinner.  So cute!

And he knows his name:

Copying his mum, he looks like such a good boy!

Learning dinnertime manners!

His mum tells him off too, when he's being too boisterous, but she plays with him so beautifully.

And he's finding all the good spots for snoozing, including every tiny Lappy's favorite place - under the coffee table.

5 weeks old

A yummy treat on a spoon helps the stand pose :-)

Joulu is certain to think he will always get snow, as the very same week he went outdoors for the first time, he experienced snow.  Lucky puppy!  

Here he is learning that all-important pouncing skill, foiled by the tennis ball. 

And a selection of cute photos from his 5th week.

Getting the crazy play face in order

Suvi is such a good mum

Looking like he's ready for mischief

Aaaannnnnddddd....

... out

And, finally, a little video of Joulu outside for the first time.  Suvi is not exactly gentle with him - but then if he had siblings, they would play pretty rough too.  She knows what she's doing.  I love how confident he is!

But before we go, how cute is this?  Joulu with his parents at the same age.

Suvi - Joulu - Arvo all at 5 weeks

welcome pohjoinen joulu

Quick holiday announcement of the latest addition to the Infindigo clan who arrived last week.  Joulu was born 3 days early and mum Suvi made incredibly easy work of it.  We hardly knew he was on the way before she popped him out, luckily for Anna who was all alone on midwife duties at the time.

Here is a selection of photos from his first week.

Look what I did!

Sweet mama & baby

Piece of cake, this motherhood lark

Birth - those little black ears!

He was soon hotdog-sized
