Random Lautje Photos

It's that time of the month again when the Daddy clears out a few random photos of Lautje that haven't really fit in any particular post. In this instance, most the photos are a bit older than normal, but still worth being seen. The first photo shows Lautje near the end of the long drive back from the family vacation in the Netherlands. Since he was not terribly pleased with sitting in the car seat for long stretches of time, the Mommy and Daddy bribed him throughout the return trip with completely unhealthy snacks. As can be seen below, Lautje accumulated a few crumbs. Even more frightening was the floor (which, fortunately, was not captured on film).
Up next, a photo of Lautje with his Mommy at her birthday picnic (some months ago...).
Even longer ago, a picture of Lautje and his Daddy in the Netherlands. Yes, for those readers who are unfamiliar with springtime in the Netherlands, it was rather cold. The Daddy has never really understood the point of visiting the beach in such weather, but then again, the Daddy has never really understood the point of cold weather to begin with (unless it involves snow, skiing, and hot beverages...).
And finally, a photo of Lautje attacking his arch nemesis: the vacuum cleaner. Neither the Daddy nor the Mommy have ever figured out why Lautje so fears/hates the vacuum cleaner (other appliances in the apartment make even more noise...). But he does, and anytime the vacuum comes out of hiding, Lautje steers well clear. In fact, the easiest way to keep Lautje from getting into trouble in the apartment is to place the vacuum next to whatever it is the Mommy and Daddy want Lautje to leave alone: he won't go near it. An effective (if somewhat mean) trick...
