hanging out with Daddy

The hammock is everyones favourite spot at the moment -the weather is perfect for a little relaxing in the hammock under our poinsiana tree.
I realised that in most photos at the moment Elliot has a dummy in his mouth - not an accurate capture of his natural state!

the plague

we came home the other day to find this creature sitting on our deck. It did cause me to look up into the sky to check if there was a swarm behind us. But it turned out to be just the one. We had a great time watching him move and eventually jump off and fly away.

the best toys

Elliot loves playing with anything long and thin and waving it above his head. so brooms mops, wands, pool cues, plastic swords, handles from paint rollers... he loves it all and will happily wave it away

boys in the crib

these two are best buddies so far. They have mutual admiration for each other and equally make each other laugh a lot. They love roaring at each other and bouncing on the trampoline. Sebastian has started trying to pick Elliot up and carry him places which is interesting cause he can move places by himself now - he didnt pick him up at all before he could crawl!

love my dog

Hanging out with the dog

standing

our drawer full of plastic containers is the best play centre, perfect height to lean on and dip right in.

strawberry season

its strawberry time here, we have a strawberry man - not a man made out of strawberries but a man who grows them who comes every week to playgroup and sells half a kilo for $5. They are huge and so sweet. we love strawberries particularly ones that are the size of cheeks or hands
