Guess who doesn't like group photos?
Matai and his friends at Mum's Thai.

Matai of the velcro hands...
Who likes to do planks, on his feet instead of his knees...
Who slumbers like a bushbaby between Mummy's fingers in the forest...
Who uses Mummy's neck, lips and cheeks as his doudou to sleep...

Matai's usual face in the gym~
Then his changed expression when he thinks he will be picked up!
22 September 2010
As the seasons start to shift from chill to warmth
Matai seeks a sunhat, but frequently finds a beanie~
And is instead forced to play wearing Daddy's oversized fedora
At playtime in the park.
Which he'd tolerate, if only
Someone would pick him up !

Summer's first kiss on Matai's soft dimpled skin
In the playground, where Mummy squeezes his fat thighs,
And he finds leaves and sand to chew, concentratedly persistent.
Later, that concentration moves to
The discovery of Splashing
Where he gazes with happiness at the water that jumps
On the tap of his hands in the bath.

Matai wakes up with a cough and a bit of misery
And after exploring the grass on a lunchtime picnic
Falls asleep in Aunty Julia's arms.
18 September 2010
Sleeping next to his big brother in the White Rabbit Gallery.
Snoozing strapped to Mummy.
Kicking pantless at the beach.
Chewing a dirty soccer ball and egging Miro on in the park.
Swiping glasses on the table at Bar Reggio.
Matai's Day In the Sun.
17 September 2010
Matai, after Miro upturned a basket of balls
On the floor of the gym
Is concerned only with touching or eating them.
Or failing that, his sock.
16 September 2010
Matai's first touch of a flower
In Din's vegetable garden
Followed by his crunchy consumption of a snowpea he finds there.
15 September 2010
Matai has yet to refuse a meal
And here, delights in a yummy roast beetroot,
Red cabbage and pumpkin puree.
14 September 2010
Now that he can get around
Matai is fascinated by Mummy's toes
And tries to take them and eat them
At every floor opportunity.
11 September 2010
Magic Pudding face
On eating chippies for the first time
At the Fishmarkets, in the sun.
10 September 2010
Matai is increasingly seen
Egging Miro on
When engaged in any funnery or naughtiness.
His delicious chewy feet
With fat pockets on the undersides.
6 September 2010
The boys are often in stiff competition over the iPad
But compromise by watching it together.
5 September 2010
Matai nearly always wakes up grumpy
But when we turn him over, within minutes,
He's his usual happy self!
4 September 2010
Mashed pumpkin and a promotion
To the squishy big people's table
For Saturday Night Souffle
And tarot deluxe.
3 September 2010
Not much of one for enjoying his floor-time
Matai nonetheless makes the most of shimmying
Bellyfirst towards desired objects;
Particularly little, brotherly ones.
2 September 2010
Matai's favourite naughty thing to do in Nanny and Din's kitchen
Is to grab at the blinds, and then pull over everything else on the table!
1 September 2010
A peaceful morning practicing sitting skills
Followed by second-bub hugs on a Mum's Group park bench
...And gym wHinging!

Aunty Doodie is shocked when her Best Boyfriend
Turns out to be a bit offish!
(Luckily with snuggles he soon changes his tune)
