Matai doesn't feel so well today, and sleeps and cries a lot.
We hope there's some toothypegs coming along to make it all worth it...
29 December 2010
Mummy and Daddy renew their vows on their 5th wedding anniversary
Under the same trees that they first made them.
28 December 2010
Matai loves being behind the wheel of a car
And he's got the meanest tongue in the business!
26 December 2010
Christmas morning at our place,
Santa deposits a giant train set for Miro
That Matai instantly loves...
And a ride-on car for Matai
That Miro instantly loves...
25 December 2010
For Matai's first Christmas
He is squirmy all day, to go on the stairs,
Until he falls asleep to Aunty Michelle's patient rocking.
He loves practicing standing up by himself.
Family photos, not so much!
24 December 2010
Going up the slippery dip the wrong way
Is today transcended by
A two-time masterful escape up the whole staircase
Only thwarted by concerned passers-by.
21 December 2010
Matai's favourite part of today
Is not the beautiful Christmas presents he receives from Steve and Lucy,
But opening and closing every door he can find...
And sitting on Stevee's lap at the piano,
While Steve forgets his Rachmaninov.

Matai loves his Christmas present from his Port Macquarie family...
The happiness is all in the tongue!
19 December 2010
While Miro is getting his hair cut, Matai stands by the chair, crying.
And everybody says "Isn't he cute!
He's crying because he's jealous! He wants his hair cut too!"
After ten minutes of that, Daddy suddenly realises
That Matai's hand is stuck in the chair.
No wonder Matai is trying so hard to talk at the moment!
18 December 2010
Matai has been sleeping little of late;
Skipping afternoon naps, and slumbering
Only beside Mummy, in the evening.
It is with great surprise, then, that he falls asleep in Nanna's arms this afternoon.
So peacefully that he misses the Christmas presents,
And nearly the lunch as well!
14 December 2010
Matai loves soccer much more than Miro
And spends most of the class chasing balls
And Bandoo chasing him!
12 December 2010
Matai could not wipe the smile off his face
At being big enough to sit on the bicycle
And having two little people push him on it.
10 December 2010
All day we make magic in the kitchen,
But Matai has a nasty cough.
It makes it hard to enjoy the beautiful sunset~
Though not the freshly-baked biscuits!
9 December 2010
Matai's first introduction to Passionfruit Sponge
And later, icypoles with Moredin too!
8 December 2010
Matai increasingly likes to fall asleep on steamy days
In his Mamiedou's arms, as she sits on the sofa.
7 December 2010
Happiness is...
Eating chocolate icecreams at sunset
Along with copious handfuls of sand.
5 December 2010
When Mummy creeps out of the bed, early morning
She wonders where the room was to sleep on this family mattress!
4 December 2010
Matai learns to unwrap his first wrapped Xmas present
And - true to form - adores the paper more!
2 December 2010
Fascinated by doors; opening and closing them.
Screen doors and cupboard doors and bathroom drawers; all of them.
1 December 2010
Matai receives his yearly Christmas decoration ~
A woolly Santa that Mummy found at an old lady's craft stall.

The Official 2010 Santa Photo.
Miro is smiling
Because he has been told there is chocolate cake in it for him if he does so.
Matai is not smiling
Because he doesn't understand the words "chocolate cake" yet!
29 November 2010
Walking behind his new Christmas walker
With lolly legs and treacle toes,
And lots of music wherever he goes!
28 November 2010
Bathtime in Archie's bath
Is strange and fun and deep and daunting
With buckets of new toys
And plenty of action !
27 November 2010
Matai takes his first steps behind a walker.
He is so excited and happy about his achievement
As his tongue surely shows!
Later, we go to a pizza restaurant to celebrate.
He thinks it's pretty good!
