26 February 2012


Monsieur and his brother
Have become so chucky
That they now need to wear bibs
For everyday use.


25 February 2012


Clever little Lowan
Can sometimes hold his nounou in!


24 February 2012


Bouncing with Nathalie;
Looking out the window.


23 February 2012


On pulling back while feeding
Lowan's not too pleased
At being sprayed all over!

22 February 2012


Lowan, a little frazzled
After hot minutes in the car
Fruitlessly searching a little-known
Aboriginal cave in Leichardt.

And earlier on, much cooler and calmer,
In the peaceful shade of the playground.



21 February 2012


The swing is a firm favourite of ours
When two bubbies want cuddles, and there are only arms for one.
This morning, Lowan is rocked to peaceful dreams by its motion
But keeps tucking his little head under the armstrap.
It looks uncomfortable, but we guess it's not!


20 February 2012


Holding hands in a snooze cuddle with Din.


19 February 2012


Lowan's first picnic at Manly Dam
Followed by his first trip to the beach!

18 February 2012


Lowan has a lovely day
Being passed around like a parcel
At big brother Tai's 2nd birthday party.

But later on, when the crowds are gone,
He's happy to snuggle down
In the double wrap with his little brother.



17 February 2012


The "Please Don't Wake Me" manoeuvre.


16 February 2012


Ittle Owie's first smile for Nanny
Is a triple delight;
The kind that keeps on
Going and going!


15 February 2012


Snoozes with Bandoo on the sofa
And solidarity in the face of
Silliness by Uncle Dane and Papa !




14 February 2012


Garden babies
Sunning like the washing.


13 February 2012


Lazy girl's Lowan's Life.
Infrared sleeping in the monitor
Not bearing to wake said
Monsieur up with a flash!

12 February 2012


In Gran and Pierre's beautiful wraps,
Counting their sheep to sweet dreams...


11 February 2012


Sleeping in Uncle Daney's arms,
And later, in Daddy's too!



10 February 2012


Matai adores his little brothers
But always thinks Lowan is "Bas-teen"!

9 February 2012


After the morning chaos of preschool and Din preparations
Lowan wails his way through the shopping day
And well into the evening!




8 February 2012


Lowan has hugs with his Great Gran;
Kisses with his fingers entwined in Mummy's hair;
And gazes at the pouring rain with Nanna...




7 February 2012


Day One of the twins' Arms Standoff
Where they refuse to be put down, even for a second!

6 February 2012


On an exhilarating first trip to the city
The twins sleep through bus trip, wild wind tunnels
And crazy Miro meltdowns!

Over lunch though,
Big brother Tai decides to join them
In sweet, sweet oblivious dreams.


5 February 2012


Lowan sleeps beautifully
Whenever he's meant to be doing tummy time
But wrapped up, in bed, increasingly refuses to doze
Unless in somebody's arms, or with Papa!

4 February 2012


Lowan could start to get used
To these things called showers...


3 February 2012


At bedtime, after baths and enveloping
Two pairs of eyes wait for sleep to come
Like Miro's fabled (wide-awake!) Owls.

2 February 2012


After a first-ever shopping trip with Nanny...

His nightly bath
Is absolute serenity.


1 February 2012


Falling asleep in increments...
Smiling in dreamy moments.


31 January 2012


Morning boys
After a no-sleep restless night...

Where, wrapped only to the waist,
Their flailing hands meant
They were separated
To either end of their cot.

And instead, the twins searched each other out,
Twisting their heads around to see each other,
And eventually, being head-to-head anyway,
With Bastien's body moved 90 degrees to his brother.


30 January 2012


Heatwave.
Summer jamies.


29 January 2012


A suck of milk in the sun.
