Harry Pie - 16.5 months

What a gorgeous little fella. He is so much like his Daddy, easy going, happy and very adaptable. I cannot believe he will be 18 months at christmas?? Where has the year gone??

He is loving smiling for the camera at the moment!

and very independant (takes after his parents!) I don't think we have spoon fed him for a good 3 months!

some santa sacks I made the kids this week.

Bath Time!

Family bath time

This was from a few weeks ago .... we were out, with no kids, blind, bar hopping and didn't get home until after 3am! Won't be doing that again for a while!!

Family resemblance

This is Andrew at 15 months. I think he looks just like Harry!

A bucket of fun!

Tonight we ate sinapore noodles on the deck. If you have never seen a 16 month old boy eat sinapore noodles unassisted, just imagine tipping a bowl of them in the washing machine and watching them stick to every piece of clothing! He was a mess! I grabbed a bucket of warm water, and well, the pictures speak for themselves!

He couldn't have been happier!

Then he started rocking ...
and rocking ...

oh, there he goes!

and the game was over! This also defeated the whole purpose of the exercise, he was then covered in grass!

Summer Days

We have had some gorgeous weather here this week. The sun has been shining and we have made the most of our sun-drenched deck and yard.

Harry can now get out of the house, down the stairs and up and down on the trampoline all by himself.

A sunny Freeman-Cooper day in the park

Dress ups with Ivy Doll.

Holly and I had a big conversation last week about why some people speak different languages. She was asking about her cousin speaking in Vietnamese and other people speaking other languages. Yesterday she said something to me and I didn't hear her, the conversation then went like this ...
Mum: Pardon Holly?
Holly: (said something again)
Mum: Sorry Holly I didn't catch that again?
Holly: (in a fed up voice) I AM speaking Australian Mum!

Thank you very much!

Chesterfield Farm

This afternoon we wandered down to Chesterfield Farm, for two reasons. One: today is the last day of sunshine for what looks like an eternity, and two: Holly is obsessed with these bunnies!

She must have sat with them for two hours. She picked them up, swapped them, put them down, named them, cuddled them, tried to put them down her top .... she just adores them.

Don't be surprised if one day a post pops up about our new pet... Thumper!

Ha ha, this photo just makes me laugh, its our little piggy, sitting quite comfortably with this drift of little piggies!

Harry was really funny, he sat and tried to steal the pellets out of the food tray, he was actually elbowing them away!

Harry and the Llama
Someone accidently left out these gorgeous little chicks, Holly and I were tempted to pop one in our pockets and take it home.

Harry and the lamb .... oh and we just had a very tasty rack of lamb for dinner ... too much information?

I was SO close to taking one of these little babes home .... seriously!

she had a joey in her pouch and all.

Let us in Dad!!! How cute are these matching pj's! I just love them and have been dying for Harry to grow into his.
Harry now eats all his meals at the bench like a big kid, he loves it, and actually eats so much better.

These two little monkeys are looking a bit sheepish, they are watching the glazier replace the window that Harry's head went through! It sounds a lot worse than it was, he smashed the window and came out completely unscathed, jumped up, laughed and walked off!

A party in the park

Our boys ... a long afternoon in the park for Gingers 1st birthday.

Morning Funny

We had to laugh this morning ...
At about 7.30 this morning Holly called out from her bedroom - MUUUM ... MUUUUUM.
We called back to her to come into our room. She stopped calling out, but didn't come in.
This is totally not like her, she never stays in bed in the morning and loves to jump in with us. About 5 minutes later she came running in. I asked her, "Why were you calling out?" she replied "I was waiting for you to bring me breakfast in bed!" laughing I said, "what made you think I was bringing you breaky in bed honey?" "I stopped calling you cause I remembered it was just a dream!" Funny little monkey xx

A day at the park

We had a lovely day today, with two nice long park visits.
Harry discovered he loves sand.
