Matai About Town
One photo a day, every day of his life.
29 July 2010
Matai wakes up this morning
Full of goofy smiles and talky fun
Because he got to share the queen bed with the whole family all night
Much to Miro's disdain and irritation.
28 July 2010
Matai's intense frustration
At being caught in a Bumbo
When cars and nounous go skitting out of his hands
And linger out of reach.
27 July 2010
At Daddy's birthday dinner
Matai is a huge wigglebum
And wants to eat the cutlery, the tablecloth
And the textas.
26 July 2010
Today, Mummy notices
~ As if overnight ~
Matai's hair has practically doubled in length !
25 July 2010
In the long minutes while all hands clean up the holiday house
Miro keeps his little brother entertained with dancing and rowdy singing
Much to Matai's delight!
24 July 2010
Matai delights in trying to eat the greasy chippie paper
Almost as much as the eagles and pelicans delight in swooping low
For impressive potato-hunting displays...
23 July 2010
Matai makes the most of many hands
When we arrive late to the holiday house.
22 July 2010
Given Matai's complete refusal to open his mouth for any food other than breast
We happen across the idea that he might eat something if he can hold it
(Since everything other than food goes into the mouth!)
Exhibit A: banana consumption.
Only a little goes in, but it's a great achievement!
21 July 2010
Right now, all inanimate objects
Must be Chewed.
20 July 2010
In the mornings, Miro either:
Entertains Matai until he laughs, or
Screams and sings at him until he cries.
This morning is one of the better mornings!
19 July 2010
Every now and then, when Matai gets his pyjamas on,
He has the urge to talk excitedly with the ceiling.
18 July 2010
A brilliantly sunshiney day in the Bulwara park
Is perfect for Mummy hugs.
17 July 2010
Swaying in multiple cuddly arms
In Ayden's sunny 2 yr old backyard party
Matai's obsession with the cumquat tree
Turns from fascination to taste testing
Her luscious leaves.
16 July 2010
Matai is thrilled to be released from the pram
On a sunny walk with Mummy and Miro~
With the gumtrees and dogs,
And divebombing magpies.
15 July 2010
Waiting for the vegetables to roast
Wriggling in Din's arms, at dinnertime...
From cuddles, to fits of giggles
Over Din's farting noises.
(It's started already!)
14 July 2010
When it's not his little fingers
Matai likes to suck his tongue
But can sometimes look quite serious
Until he's reminded to smile!
13 July 2010
Matai is not really all that fussed about eating food
Though he can be persuaded if the spoon is soft
And one makes him think he's just chewing the spoon
(With a little bit of food around it!)
12 July 2010
Matai is quite happy
When Mummy and Daddy
Start using the sling
As a means of domestic peace...
11 July 2010
Matai and Daddy are starting to share
The same sense of humour...
10 July 2010
Matai thinks Daddy's tagine
Is the strangest thing he's ever seen!
9 July 2010
Just like his big brother
Matai is developing a taste for yummy hair.
8 July 2010
Just another morning
Getting ready to go shopping with Nanny.
7 July 2010
Matai, as he falls asleep,
Wears a bleary, milk-full
"I love you" face
6 July 2010
Bathtimes ~ and looking in the mirror ~
Are so much fun!
5 July 2010
Inspired by a delicious-looking Pankey
Matai rolls over for the first time today.
4 July 2010
Matai not only gets passed like a football
Around Archie's second birthday party
But serves as Kissing Practice for Vicky
...While Miro makes sure all this romance
Doesn't get too out-of-hand!
3 July 2010
On a chilly Saturday morning, we start the day in a woolly hat,
Keep it on for long beach wanders with Aunty Julie,
And fall asleep still wearing it, cosy in the late afternoon...
2 July 2010
Matai has added Bubbles to his repertoire
And gleefully produces them
While kicking with vigour.

To Put Matai In Pyjamas Is:
