Matai loves standing, standing, standing
And standing-dances with Aunty Melissa and Shuffles,
Three weeks from being born.

After inspecting houses, the family takes a restful stop
By the bright blue water at Booker Bay
Where Miro urges jellyfish back into the water and fights with noisy ducks,
While Matai munches cookies embraced by Daddy on the pier.
22 October 2010
Turning and twisting like his need to be on his belly is desperate
Mummy takes to distracting him with items during changes
And today finds some flowers that Miro picked on the street.
Matai wastes no time in finding out She Loves Me.

In the mornings, Goo likes to come downstairs,
Take the position on Din's lap
And let what will come, come!

Fish and chips at Parsley Bay
Sees Matai~
Fighting his brother for tricycle rights;
Kicking his fat thighs with delight on a tiny bushwalk;
And off like a shot
Every time he spots a lone pigeon.

Matai's first actions, on discovering how to move the walker around,
Is to cruise to the oven and steal two coarse, bright dish-cloths
Which, for some reason, he wants to put on his head, over and over again,
And scrunch and chew and stretch and wear again.
When Nanny makes one into a headscarf, he is so happy!

Matai loves watching Miro play
While seeming to take mental notes about how
He is going to do it himself too, one day...
11 October 2010
When Matai falls asleep in Leelee's arms
He and Miro do a delicate dance to prevent him
From waking when they put him on the bed.
10 October 2010
For a while, Matai was the most popular baby on the block with his car walker,
But after a while, everyone disappeared, and he was left standing at the lights.
8 October 2010
On a sunny Coastal day
Matai has his first go on the play equipment
Where he loves to stand alone against the coloured bars
And cries when he's taken away!
7 October 2010
Matai usually watches his brother
Spin round and round in Wiggles rides,
But this time, for the first time, has a turn
With Miro holding him lovingly in the seat.
5 October 2010
Starting on his knees,
Matai masters standing while holding the parking station
And is pleased as can be!
3 October 2010
Matai tries Maddie's hair on for size
And tastes his first mango mousse
At Phoenix Yum Cha lunch.
2 October 2010
On a rainy day Saturday,
After walking around city celebrations,
Tasting the Farmer's Market, Festival cakes and Hyde Park photo exhibits...
Slurping lentil soup in the museum
And cuddling on Daddy's lap
Makes Matai a happy customer!
30 September 2010
Matai, asleep in the big bed,
With his cluttered morning eyes,
One hand stretched for Mummy.
29 September 2010
Matai is obsessed with the vacuum cleaner
And today, pulls himself up on it for the very first time.
