When Daddy comes home at night
He always finds a happy face in Goo
Who loves an audience for long laboured chats,
Giggles at new sounds, and smiles.

Matai is constantly frustrated with the things he tries to put in his mouth~
Save his fingers and other people's, which are always delicious and compliant.
28 June 2010
Matai enjoys yummy first solids
In a bid to get him to sleep better.
He seems to like the experience.
Though doesn't like opening his mouth!
He prefers to sip the rice cereal or chew the spoon.

While Miro dives into the wonder of Din's
Matai has Mummy and Daddy all to himself~
Where he eats at Bills for Breakfast,
Cuddles Mummy in quiet Darlinghurst streets
(Where old men smoke amongst their plants on terraces
And church bells gently carry on the air...),
And is rugged up like a second womb
On Daddy's front for a brisk chilly beach walk.

Matai spends Miro's birthday party wailing in Nanny's arms
Frustrated at golliwogs, chew toys and panettone boxes
And earning his nickname MaCry.
The only things that soothe him are:
Touching the bamboo outside~
Going for walks around the neighbourhood~
Milk, milk, milk~
And inexplicably, dinner at Bill and Toni's.

Matai spends a frustrating time on the mat
Doing his best to roll from back to front.
So much so, that he spends the rest of the night rehearsing
And wakes us up every hour with tears!
23 June 2010
Matai's girlfriend Rose is growing up
And they manage to spend a few seconds together
Where neither is asleep, and neither is crying!
19 June 2010
Matai loves watching Miro make a mess
(So long as it's not too noisy or slobberingly close!)
And when he gets bored watching his big brother
Loves simply to turn his head and look through the window, outside.
17 June 2010
For Miro's 2nd birthday, we visit the crocs and the kangaroos
And Matai gets scared by the snakes
But perks up for a dancing video
And loves birthday boy hugs at lunchtime!
Later, the others share chocolate sundaes
And Nanna pushes him all the way home...
16 June 2010
A sparkling Sydney day sees
A yummy pasta lunch with Nanna
In the sunshiney coastal walk to Cabbage Tree Bay...
And lots of kisses for Mummy!
Later, Uncle Daney comes over
And there's time for more cuddles and goos.
14 June 2010
Today sees a walk to a beautiful waterfall
Where Matai sleeps to the sound of Miro's happy laughter,
Rushing water, heartbeat
And steady footfall.
(Waking 6 times in one night does that to you!)
13 June 2010
On holidays, Goo feels less settled than at home
Which means that days and nights pass in a haze
Of feeding and more feeding,
Cuddles and more cuddles...
12 June 2010
The Things We Do For Love include:
Wearing silly hats, because it makes Mummy and Daddy happy.
11 June 2010
Matai "Happy Feet"
May not yet be able to roll from back to front
But ~ with ever elated, vigorous kicking ~
Succeeds in doing a 90 degree turn
And is delighted with his progress!
10 June 2010
Matai Pinkcheeks...
We wonder if his first little tooth is on its way...
And Spare Din and Matai say Hi to Aunty Rebecca !
8 June 2010
Matai, Mummy and Miro
Are miraculously transformed
Into a Chinese Imperial Family
On an afternoon trip to tranquil gardens.
6 June 2010
A new bed for Matai, in the hopes that his
Suddenly restless nights will transform
Into roomy, roll-friendly lullabies
Filled with sweet dreams of rainforests and toucans.
4 June 2010
While Matt is in Austria
Matai squeezes in some last cuddles
And giggles for the first time
At Aunty Cat's aeroplanes and tickles.
1 June 2010
Matai tries the playmat for the first time
Sans monkeybars
And lets the Miro whirlwind
Cover him lovingly in toys.
