Us

Today Adam cut his hair. It was the longest it had ever been. So we all went downstairs, cut and shaved and documented the whole process. Today the computer froze and lost all the great pictures I had taken.

So instead here are some photos of us just being us. Enjoy.

Things to do with a baby

Because he loves the water.
Because clothes can be washed and hair dried.
Because no one wants to be cooped up inside all day.
Because it is raining, raining and raining some more today.

The nice thing about living in a warm climate is we can go outside and play in the rain without freezing. Artie and I headed out after lunch to splash in some puddles. He got to crawl, taste, drink, splash and listen to the rain fall. I enjoyed watching my son explore and delight in nature.

While we were out in the rain we sang any rain rhymes and songs I could think of. We sang; 'Incy Wincy Spider,' 'It's Raining it's Pouring,' 'Rain, rain go away' and ' Raindrops Keep Falling on my Head.'

When the rain started to get a bit heavier we came back inside and got all dry and clean. Then I gave Artie a baby massage and we snuggled in the nursing chair until he fell asleep. And he is still asleep an hour and a half later! He must have worn himself out with all that exploring.

Easter

Some belated photos from Easter. 

Swimming and eating and eating and a bit more eating (and definitely no napping!) at Gran and Grumps' new house. 

Starting with a shot of my boys out the front of our new house, all dressed up and ready to go. 

Rainforest collection

The other day we went on a walk in the rainforest at Mount Glorious. I forgot the camera but brought home some treasures.

Unfortunately, Arthur ate all the treasures he collected. 

What she's been up to...

I celebrated my 27th birthday today. My first birthday as a Mumma. Artie picked me a beautiful flower on his walk with daddy this morning. 

I had a lovely relaxing day. We had some cake, some music, some alone time for mumma to have a bath and a lot of fun. 

Thank you to Nan and Aunty Stacey for looking after the boy for a few hours so Adam and I could enjoy a delicious lunch at Jade Budda. 

What he has been up to

Artie turned 8 months on the 23rd of March. 

So what has he been up to? 

He has been;

crawling,

visiting the library, 

standing,

swinging, 

asking for a blessing on his food, 

then eating it, 

a bit of swimming, and;

lots of playing!

Phew! No wonder we are all exhausted. We are all looking forward to what his 8th month will bring.

He also worked out how to wave hello and goodbye and give cuddles (having him give me cuddles is my favourite thing in the whole world! No feeling beats it).
