28 March 2012


Since we've set up the travel cot in the kitchen
The twins love to kick and watch their toys in the morning
And may occasionally be enticed to snooze there during the afternoon.


27 March 2012


On long crying afternoons
Both boys are necessary recipients
Of efficient double cuddles.


26 March 2012


Much night-time crying
And constant inclusion in celebrations
At Stevee's birthday dinner.


25 March 2012


After several nights of no-longer sleeping
Without copious crying, desire for cuddles and dummy-spitting,
We try the wrap with munch hands, and Lowan likes it so much
He sleeps in the afternoon for three hours straight!


24 March 2012


Lowan relaxes the moment we walk back through the door after camping
And is contented to lie holding hands with his brother,
Watching his toys in the portacot.



23 March 2012


A curious ferry trip for his first camping experience,
Where much wind, crying and night time chill
Sees the twins co-sleeping and enjoying the snuggles.


22 March 2012


Just bouncing around
Looking for stray cuddles
That might be bought by smiles and gurgles.

21 March 2012


Wrapped in Granny's tablecloths,
Lowan can't resist a peek
When he's meant to be sweetly napping.


20 March 2012


Little Lowie is a night owl
Fascinated by the lights and conversation
At Catherine's 40th birthday dinner.


19 March 2012


More munchy handiness
On our post-Picasso picnic.


18 March 2012


Both Lowan and Bastien have been so handy this week
And stare intently at their toys before swiping them,
Or suck furiously on their fists all other times.


17 March 2012


Suckysleepy
At Kathleen and Joe's place
On a Saturday night.

16 March 2012


Feeling exceedingly comfortable in the experimental Bumbo;
Lowan loves dipping his toes into the vertical
As a change from his frustrated prostrate boredom.

Later on, we even lift the pram seats too,
Providing many minutes of happiness, as he watches the waving trees
And laughs at the invisible sprites telling jokes beside our heads.



15 March 2012


Snaphappy Miro
Sneaks around the garden
Taking photos of everything
Including Lowan, dissatisfied
By cuddles on the grass.
(Stand up, please!)

14 March 2012


The sweetest little cheesecake.


13 March 2012


Gorgeous bare bottom
Post massage after bath time.


12 March 2012


Lowan meets Aunty Jean for the first time...
Ninety four years between them!



11 March 2012


The twins spend a leisurely day being cuddled in the sun
When Aunty Sloane and Uncle Kent come to visit !

And then later on...
Lowie chills out with his favourite bizarre hand doudou.



10 March 2012


The boys kick and suck in their bouncinettes
While Bandoo folds the copious washing
Created by two such little people!

9 March 2012


Lowan looks a little surprised
At big brother Tai's Luna Park demonstration!

The fun doesn't stop for our first family portrait,
And Lowan later enjoys his first ferris wheel ride,
And lots of Bandoo cuddles. Bliss!




8 March 2012


Practice makes a perfect little man.


7 March 2012


On his coldest and windiest day of life
Lowan is wrapped snug for the cold,
Wearing a hat for the first time
As we visit the park with his brothers.

6 March 2012


The wicked littlest Maitres
Have started a rotating schedule
Where one cries, is taken into the big bed,
Then on being returned, the other one cries and has his turn,
So that there is always one twin snuggled against Mummy
Like this, ad infinitum, the whole night long.


5 March 2012


Cheeky Lowie
Grinning from Tai's kitchen floor bed
While Bastien tickles his ear!

4 March 2012


Afternoon in bookclub
Followed by warm milk, baths and bed.


3 March 2012


Like father, like son!


2 March 2012


Lowan's gorgeous smiles are becoming more frequent
And he lays in bed or on the floor, beside his brother,
Casting smiles like sunny gifts
At all people and objects around him.


1 March 2012


In the damp hot days this summer has brought,
The boys are so unhappy in the sweltering mug
And seek only to be held, even if together,
Where they can find minutes of sweet rest.


29 February 2012


Meeting Granny and Pop for the first time;
Lots of cuddles and crocheted blankies...


28 February 2012


The latest craze
In Twinland
Is finding one's thumb

And trying to get it
At least somewhere near
At least one of their mouths!


27 February 2012


Restless days with throwing up
Are soothed by wet cuddles
With Papa in the evening.
