crawling terror mark II

okay, so i've tried a few times now, and cannot upload a video of cleo crawling... you'll have to use your imagination, people!

more photos!

singing happy birthday to mum on 02 december :)



little sweetheart, no?



nude baby alert!



max's new 'photo smile'... lovely grimace, isn't it?



our baby is growing up so quickly! note she's on her toes <- just like her mum! and that dolls cot was mine when i was a lass... made by my dad :)

crawling terror

sigh, i can hear max telling cleo off. he would've been QUITE happy if she had remained a plonk-and-stay baby for everrrrrrrrr.

work = play

this has been a big month for cleo... tentative crawling has made way for crawling with gusto. she even pulls herself up to the coffee table now! a tooth appeared today! i am marking off the shocker of a night two nights ago (a million feeds) as unsettled due to tooth :) she is all about dad-dad-dad and bub-bub-bub... even says 'ta'! nearly blew me over with that one! i'm sure she'll one day say mum-mum-mum...!

max's first year of schooling - albeit only two days per week at kindy - ends this coming week! dammit, i love those two days! hopefully we'll find our summertime groove quickly enough, and not drive each other to distraction in the meantime! max's current obsessions are hot wheels tracks, and - still - lego. he sets the tracks up all.over.the.house... then has a fit when cleo takes delight in wrecking his meticulously planned circuits.... sigh, he needs a playpen the size of a house, to work (aka play) uninterupted!

aaron is in kalgoorlie this week; he left early this morning / home by friday night. kalgoorlie is not a pleasant place to be when it's so hot...

i am eating raisin toast for tea. mmmm, raisin toast!

farm lego a-go-go...

the many faces of cleo...

my dad (aka papa to max) getting body-slammed by max

...what's that saying about babies and boxes?

family photo @ jason & issy's house yesterday (early rule family christmas)...

max playing with his christmas present from nanny & pa... farm lego!

and cleo looking pretty pleased with herself and her new toy (gifted from nanny & pa)...

she looks almost 'old' in this next photo! slow down, time!
