Chatterbox at the Lagoon.

Miro's arch-mission today is to jump on the giant "sand wall"
That three older boys have made.

We make a rival castle, but the boys finally leave their fortress to us,
And Miro jumps on it gleefully, with barely a nod to the vanquished.


7 July 2009

Breakfast time and Daddy cuddles...


6 July 2009

Lunchtime at Muddy's sees Miro mingling with the big kids
And consecutively crying and waving when it's time to go


5 July 2009

Miro loves the beach.

Here we are at 4 Mile Beach on the weekend.




4 July 2009

In Port Douglas for the weekend,
The family walks to the Beach Shack for dinner.


3 July 2009

At the lagoon, our trusty adventurer keeps disappearing into the crowds of people
With nary a look behind him.


2 July 2009

On noticing that Miro does a wee before getting into the bath
A perhaps-preemptive attempt is made to potty train him.

Miro's favourite response to the potty?
Turn it over and play with it upside down.


1 July 2009

Miro's favourite place to be
Is anywhere where there are other kids.

And if he gets to drive a Wiggles boat, too...
Well that's even better!


30 June 2009

After noticing a lull in the room,
Mummy walks in to find Miro
The proud discoverer of a Salada stash
And munching it to crumbs...






29 June 2009

Miros first day at Daycare.
Interested by all the new toys, he barely looks around when we leave
But Mummy sobs in the hallway...


28 June 2009

Miro, Mummy and Daddy visit the Mind-Body-Soul Festival at Tank.
Where Mummy and Daddy have Shiatsu, and Miro eats pappadums.


27 June 2009

The morning of our early-morning flight back to Cairns

When sheets must be put away, rubbish snuck into bins,
and the house shut up for a temporary new family.


25 June 2009

Miro never wants to stop
When Grumps zooms him up and down the kitchen !

(come to think of it, same goes for ice-cream...)


24 June 2009

Steve and Lucy come for a post-birthday tea.
The chocolate cupcakes sure make good eatin' !


23 June 2009

Miro wanders through the remains of his packed up home.


22 June 2009

Miro becomes impatient
With Mummy and Daddy packing up the house.

(Us, too!)





21 June 2009

Wide-eyed at 6am
The morning after his birthday party,
Miro opens his presents.


20 June 2009


Miro, Archie and Vicky Cristina Barcelona have a party.
All the kids are there...

(Luckily we didn't see any Rooty Tooties though!)








19 June 2009

Packing up the toys before the trip to Sydney.


18 June 2009

Waiting for the bus to Cairns Central
In Miro's favourite boots.


17 June 2007

Miro's First Birthday!

Waking to a room full of balloons,
He marvels in his first harmonica,

Enjoys an icecream with Mummy at the balmy lagoon,

Has a ride on his favourite mall game,

And finishes off in a cake-fight with Daddy!





16 June 2009

Miro has become a streaker, and every morning
Flashes around the house without his pants on
Gleefully!


15 June 2009

Miro can't quite believe his eyes
When he sees Mummy and Daddy's costumes
For his First Birthday Party!




14 June 2009

When given the choice between strawberries or Cadbury...






13 June 2009

We pass a balmy, sweet-scented day
Amongst the tigers, cheetahs, monkeys and more



Swanning in bird-heaven...



Where Daddy holds a blue-tongued lizard, a bird, a fish and Miro!


12 June 2009

Miro, daily, assembles his favourite toys in his pusher
And accompanies them around the house.


11 June 2009

Before bathtime, a rudey orangesy Miro plays with his beloved Keys.


10 June 2009

At Gymbaroo, Miro is spoiled with his favourite toy.
And soon after, takes two!


9 June 2009

Mummy accidentally locks everyone out of the house
And we all have to spend the night in a hotel.


8 June 2009

On a Kuranda bushwalk,
Miro takes a break from pushing his own pram-
Past twittering groups of adoring Japanese tourists-
To touch a fluttering moth
Resting on a rock.


7 June 2009

Miro's latest act of conquest is using a spade.
He delights in sneaking up on kids who've spent laborious minutes
Creating sad little sandcastles
And destroying them with his wieldy weapon.

And because he's a baby, he gets away with it!
MWA-HA-HA!


6 June 2009

Mummy takes Miro to the circus.
He likes the miniature horsies -

But he likes the little girls better...!


5 June 2009

"Breakfast Time in the May-tra House!"


4 June 2009

Daddy comes home from work early
And so the family sets off for a walk on a northern beach
Miro also perfects his first word (not including Mum/ Dad/ Nan...)

BALL !


3 June 2009

Miro makes Mummy laugh
When he gets both hands stuck in his shape sorter bus!


2 June 2009

After an intense expedition to the shops today
(Tantrums and frantic grabbing de rigeur...)
Miro unwinds in his favourite good clean fun -
A hot bubble bath, with plenty of toys.


1 June 2009

Miro is treated to a picnic lunch at Muddy's,
Where the water saturates little people
And slides evoke screams of delight!


31 May 2009

Paronella Park sees Miro wHingy after cutting a brand new front tooth
But all smiles when he's in Daddy's arms...


30 May 2009

Miro and Mummy get all sandy
At a mini-haiku on Mission Beach.


29 May 2009

At Djarragun College
Miro took his first steps.


28 May 2009

In the suburban jungle of Cairns,
Miro's favourite thing to do right now
(Other than play in the sand)
Is play with the forbidden (3years+) Fuzzy Balls at Target.
