Mummy loves her Two Gorgeous Boys.


26 February 2010


Four generations of family
Eating Gateau and then some...!


25 February 2010


Miro is absolutely smitten
With his bombshell Aunty Gen!


24 February 2010


Miro has transferred his morning affections to Daddy's hair
But still loves to sleep in family cuddles...


23 February 2010


Miro finds his sunshine again
And has a super morning swimming at the pool,
Playing with Archie,
And swinging on the hammock with Daddy.


22 February 2010


It's hard being a Big Brother in a Sydney heatwave.
The smallest thing - like not being able to eat Gateau before Dindin -
Feels like an insurmountable tragedy.


21 February 2010


Miro is still feeling a little fragile, and so
When Matai has a bath in the basin, he insists
On having a bath in the basin, too.

At the same time.

In fact, better still -

With Matai not in the basin at all.


20 February 2010


After an emotional day
Aided with copious Gateaux
Miro and Matai fall asleep with Mummy between them...


19 February 2010


Miro spends the day with Nanny
And the afternoon with Grumps and Daney on a Boy's Night In -
Pizza, and Cars... heaven !


18 February 2010


Little Brothers are al-right
Until they start making a noise !


17 February 2010


Miro loves visiting his brand new brother at Hospital
But even though he's patient, he still longs to escape
The four walls of the room, go home and play with his bike.


16 February 2010


Matai was born this morning at 10:30.
Miro is delighted to meet his brother and showers him with kisses.
His little inquisitive finger points at Matai's features.



14 February 2010


A sleepy Valentine's Day
Sees Miro have a breakfast date with Vicky Cristina Barcelona
And later, try Diego's shoes on for size
In the ultimate provocation to little girl's daddies !


13 February 2010


After another delicious Fish Saturday
Where Miro eats a whole bowl of seafood and most of Mummy's fish besides -

Aunty Cat and Uncle Matt offer Pork Roast teatime!

Another chance for eating bowl-fulls of food
And playing like big boys in Ayden's bedroom...
Tearing books, pulling down teddy bears,
But also being suspiciously well-behaved quiet for minutes at a time.


12 February 2010


On a hot muggy pre-storm day
The family think Baby is coming
And take some last-minute portraits before he arrives.

Alas, the day turns, the skies pour, and still no baby !


11 February 2010


After a grimy but delightful Gateau day with Nanny and Mummy
Spare Grumps makes hot chili Dale-Choi-Bows
And Grumps decides to give Miro a cooling before-bedtime bath in the kitchen sink...


10 February 2010


Miro hosts the Mum's Group

Where he learns (with difficulty and lots of hugs by Archie!)
To share his most treasured possessions.

And all are enthralled in a giant green garbage truck passing...


9 February 2010


Miro is thrilled and can't stop smiling
When he first gets to eat his very first (very own) sausage roll
And later goes swimming with Mummy and Daddy in the Avalon ocean pool.


8 February 2010


After being a perfect angel the whole day through
Miro is rewarded by a trip to the Fox Studios playground
Where he loves twirling on the rides
- And taking the slides!


7 February 2010


After a sleepy sleep-in morning
Daddy offers Miro din-din
And he gives Mummy a wave as they walk downstairs for breakfast.


6 February 2010


After Nonna goes to the airport, and another delicious Fish Saturday,
Miro dons his party best for a 30th
And gets in the spirit by being silly with Daddy's swipe pass !


5 February 2010


Max Brennar Face
(Or rather. Where's My Nou-Nou?!)
With Nonna at our city stroll
Between cuddles and fun


4 February 2010


On a day where steamy rain pounds the tin roofs and pavements in a glorious downpour
Nonna comes to stay, Dane and Paul come to visit,
And Miro is feverish and wHingy.
Impatient with chips and roast preparation, he is finally taken for a walk with Daddy
To clear his mind and help him feel better...


3 February 2010


On the dusty back porch, amongst cactus and Sydney Morning Heralds
Great Aunty Jean dotes on Miro
While Grumps at the BBQ warms up the backyard -
Nanny makes old fashioned orange salad -
Leelee has a wine or two -
And Spare Grumps catches up for a yarn...



2 February 2010


After a steamy summer's day,
The family go to eat Dosai
And encourage Little Brother along...


1 February 2010


At Miro's Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa-Peter's house
He is lucky enough to discover
That Gran has made him his favourite passionfruit Gateau
With pomengranate icecream and lashings of love !



31 January 2010


On a sleepy Sunday
Miro falls asleep on Daddy
Then later, wakes, and within minutes falls asleep again with Mummy



30 January 2010


After another scrumptious Fish Saturday
Miro delays going for his nightly do-do
By bringing out some of his favourite autos
