Bedtime... but not really!
Miro plays when he should be sleeping :)


26 December 2008

On Boxing Day evening, we go to visit Steve and Lucy at their new flat.

that he's up 'till 11.30pm with a smile.


25 December 2008

Christmas Day !
So many things to get excited about !


24 December 2008

A bad influence! Miro and Daddy play computer games on Xmas Eve morning.


23 December 2008

We wait for a screwed-up face when Miro first tries Vegemite,
but the only face he makes is one of satisfaction (!)


22 December 2008

B surprises himself and everyone by giving Miro some chocolate to eat
(for the record: a Mint Slice.... even Mamiedou can't resist those things!)


21 December 2008

After a shower, there is so much fun to be had with the swinging mobile...

At the fishmarkets with Grumps and the Port Macquarie clan,
Miro becomes very frightened of all the hungry seagulls.


19 December 2008

The day of Miro's 6 month vaccinations go by uneventfully (thank goodness!),
but he has still become a wriggly worm that will not be put down.
So Mummy carries him back and forth throughout the house,
looking for things to entertain him...


18 December 2008

When Miro throws his toy outside the playpen, he tries to recover it
but quickly gets frustrated.

He thinks that he needs to push his head through to get the toy! Teehee


17 December 2008

For Miro's 6 month birthday, Cat and Ayden bring a birthday cake, along with a pig candle,
just because Miro loves pigs so.

Mummy and Cat eat most of the cake, but Miro has some crumbs with cream.

On Georgie and Victoria's rooftop, Miro enjoys a windy afternoon tea with some of his favourite Mothers Group friends...

This evening, Miro seeks comfort when trying to fall asleep...


6 December 2008

After a "lukewarm" reception (haha), Miro finally starts enjoying a cool bath on a hot day
and even discovers what makes him a little boy!


5 December 2008

The day of Miro's first crawl,
his photo of the day is trumped by the perfect peacefulness
of sharing his crib that night
with his best friend Ayden...

(at least until the Mummies were out of the house!)

and snored his way through his usually-playful morning time...

After a wonderful Xmas weekend,
Pauly gives Miro a big kiss before his return to Melbourne.

much to Mummy and Daddy's chagrin.

Miro and Daddy sit in the windowsill
and watch the "bamboos"

At Magnetic Island,
the clothes come off
and all roads seem dusty, meandering
and scented with frangipani.
