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.
30 May 2010
Matai enjoys being Diego and Georgie's
Favourite Pass-the-Parcel
At Sunday morning brekkie...
(He who doesn't cuddle Matai has to chase Vicky Cristina Barcelona!)
29 May 2010
Matai is an angel all through Gran's concert
Except for the moment when he leisurely pulls back from feeding
And opens his mouth in readiness to start his nightly before-bed chat...
"Goo!"
27 May 2010
This morning Miro decides to teach Matai to read
Using the pristine alphabet cards.
Alas, Matai learns not-much-useful
Given that Q-Queen is described as "Mummy" ! (blush!)
24 May 2010
Goo snuggles up with any toy you throw at him
When he's nestled into his little throne~
But particularly likes Lamby for her softy ears
And waves her about like a hand puppet.
Here, he watches Happy Feet with Miro
But shortly after this photo, gives Mummy a sweet knowing smile
And lets her know that he was never watching Happy Feet at all...
23 May 2010
Miro greets Yum Cha for Leelee's birthday
With an explosive Poonami, necessitating urgent action...
Daddy shoves him under an ice cold shower
And he spends the rest of the meal snuggled into jumpers,
Trying to warm up again.
22 May 2010
On a brilliantly sunny Sydney Saturday afternoon
As the sun begins to slant across the sky
Mummy and Goo pose for photos on the grass
While Miro and Reuben run in circles 'round the rocks.
21 May 2010
Matai increasingly cries when put flat on his back
But prefers to sit upright, and even sleep there...
20 May 2010
Goo likes touching toys, and especially holding them.
(Stripey monkey is rapidly becoming a favourite
For his grabbable arms and friendly disposition.)
On top of that, there's cosy rugs around the face...
Another reason Nanny and Matai are such birds of a feather!
19 May 2010
A rainy day housebound sees us playing with the Hipstamatic,
Gurgling at golliwogs,
And seeing What A Difference 10 Weeks Makes.
18 May 2010
A day of walks through torrential rain
Are viewed through a filter of raincover and half-sleepy eyes;
Wet socks and Slip Inn chip smells.
But once at Archie and Rose's place
Matai settles down for quiet cuddles
While Paula says "Look, Rose. Look how quiet your boyfriend is!"
17 May 2010
Goo spends Miro's sick day watching Astro Boy beside him,
Fine-honing his sucking skills, especially when it comes to his favourite things:
Cuddly blankets, fingers and sleeves!
16 May 2010
At the Bulwara street party
Matai is the lucky recipient
Of permanent cuddles from new friends...
15 May 2010
While Miro and Din bake bread
Matai gets Mummy and Daddy all to himself ~
And decides to take them to the Art Gallery
Before choosing a pizza at Bar Reggio.
14 May 2010
Miro is increasingly helpful when it comes to his Little Brother
And tonight, wants to undress him, successfully removing his nappy,
Much to Matai's eternal happiness at losing his pants.
Then, after the warm and goo-ey bath, Matai is all smiles and gurgles
While Miro and Daddy put a fresh nappy on,
And pyjama him, together, for bed.
13 May 2010
On arriving back home in Sydney
The boys present Mummy with beautiful Mothers' Day gifts
Including a macaroni necklace made under Matai's extra-sensory guidance.
12 May 2010
Big brother Miro keeps a protective watch
Over little Matai, in the face of Ellie's puppy curiosity.
11 May 2010
In the sunshine by the tennis courts
In a Janet Clarke nook
Matai's eyes water, whilesoever
The bright star heats him in the icy wind.
9 May 2010
Matai enjoys snuggling and looking out the window
On his first ever steam train ride....
Being held up when he wants some milk -
Not so much !
8 May 2010
Matai enjoys a cuddly walk
Through the delicious Lal Lal Estate
Where we sit in the sun and eat Gateau and drink hot chocolates
And Matai Goos happily to an audience.
5 May 2010
Today, Matai and Mummy spend time exploring rattles
And Matai is mesmerised by Sophie la Giraffe
4 May 2010
Matai is briefly and fondly called Goo by Mummy
Because he smiles and laughs every time she tells him "Goo!"
However, today, the mention of Goo only makes Matai awkward
And he screws up his face and cries at it !
Here he is, moments before one such mijudged Goo.
3 May 2010
Despite the squalling din of Miro and Victoria combined
Matai dutifully attempts to slumber through
The loudest of toddler hubbub.
2 May 2010
After having his very first haircut
Miro detects a stray hair or two on Matai
And is desirous of neatening him up with a trim.
1 May 2010
While Miro is at the Zoo,
Matai accompanies Mummy and Daddy to Newtown
Where, by virtue of him sitting in a cafe in a sling,
He becomes a Designer Baby
And therefore must be hunted out of Newtown :)
