i am six months, going on seven months...

and i've got some curls...

and a cool new hat!

i have been known to get into mischief...
but i swear it's her fault!

we play in huts...

and with the dolls house...

i just like to be nearby!

but my favourite game is "through the window"!

we all went to a xmas party..
but i was too little for the rides..

but now i'm a big 7 month old...
i have ideas!

i like going swimming..

but not getting out!

i like eating banana with my two bottom teeth..

and strawberry..

but i'm not sure about the mess!

i have my serious moments
and sometimes give the paparazzi a shove!

and now it's my first xmas..
and i can't reach a thing!

however i did enjoy the carols
even though i don't sing...
(though i do say "umumum" & "bubbubbub" and can do a pretty mean squeal!)

i'm a bit slow at the mo, but soon i'll have mastered this thing!

because crawling wasn't enough..

he started this yesterday... at 6 months & 2 days...

i think this one is going to give us trouble ;-)

here comes eli!

5 months (and a bit)

5 months & 2 weeks

sitting

bouncing

creeping

sleepingawww..

a picture can say a thousand words...

4 months & 3 weeks...

3 months old & thinks he's grown up..

Boo!

So what have i been up to?

having cuddles with my big sister..
having cuddles with my bigger sister...
having cuddles with my nana...
having cuddles with yvonne..
and just hanging out with my big brother..
i've discovered that hands are tasty..
and that hair-do's can be cool...

but mostly just being cute..and generally impressing my parents with my smiles, coos & goos, chuckles, and my new habit of rolling from my front to my back!

2 months old..

and what a happy little guy he is!

8 weeks old today!

Paul managed to get the camera working this morning! hooray!
(by gently hitting it.. if you don't hit it, it doesn't work!)

so i managed to sneak a few up-to-date pics before.. yup.. the batteries died! argh!

but here is our lovely wee lad - 8 weeks old today!'at his last check (just under 7 weeks old) he weighed 4.99kg, 57cm long & 38cm around his head, so he's still small, but he's growing *really* well, and is gradually moving away from the 25th percentile & towards the 50th :-)

just this last week he has begun smiling and gooing, and is very alert yet cruisey, so he's a real treasure to have around!
and of course his big sister adores him!!

catch up!

a most unfortunate thing has occurred in our house..

my camera's optical unit has died.. hence the terrible lack of updates!

but occasionally we can coax it into working, so here are a few pics that we have managed to snaffle!

Eli with frank..

Eli with yvonne..

3 weeks old..

7 weeks old...

and lots of gorgeous goodies from family & friends in oz! thank you!!
