On the 27th of December 2009, Arthur was baptised at Saint Mary's Catholic Church.

Christmas cheer

Just a few photos from our first christmas as three.

welcoming 2010

Adam, Arthur and I welcomed 2010 in the great outdoors. Arthur went for his first hike in his new back carrier in the rainforest. 2009 was an exciting year for us, filled with great change, as our family grew to three. I am looking forward to slowing down this year and enjoying time and growing with my family. And perhaps a few more walks in the forest.

Goodbye Victoria

We are busy trying to get organised to move back to Queensland but here is a quick photo. Artie is sitting in the present his lovely friends from mothers group got him as a farewell present. It is a bumbo and he loves it.

Artie Goes to the Zoo

A beautiful Spring day in Melbourne, a visit to the zoo and one happy 4 month old boy. One of those days you never want to forget.

Artie wasn't too fussed about the animals but he loved the trees!

Feeding time at the zoo!

He's a roller

One minute he is lying on the floor looking up at me...

The next minute the cheeky munchkin has rolled over onto his tummy. Clever boy! (Might have to start childproofing soon).

He officially can roll both ways from 4 months and one day old.

He has also discovered his feet and likes to pull on them.

He can grab and hold his toys.

He hates naps but is quite good at bedtime.

And he has tasted some frozen apple, in a mesh taster, he didn't seemed too mind it at all.

just some new ones of late

Artie and I going for a walk to the post office. He is looking spunky in Nan's hat (still too big for him though!).

Like father, like son. Adam and Artie checking their messages on a walk.

Artie revelling in the beauty of nature, he loves trees. He smiles, laughs and chats to them. Almost 4 months old, wearing Gran's overalls.

And lastly, more of my gardening prowess, the little lemon tree that would not die. We were sure he had carked it, the leaves curled up and fell off, the trunk turned grey- so we moved him to the veggie patch to let him die in peace. Then, look what he went and did. Sprouted some nice new green leaves. What a clever little lemon tree!
