27 September 2012


Feeding time at the Zoo.



26 September 2012


Pashtien
Kissing himself in the mirror
Exactly like a budgie.

25 September 2012


In the minutes the twins are free-range in the garden,
Bastien picks the pansies, and tastes them.
Back in the pen!




24 September 2012


Practicing using those two new teeth!

23 September 2012


At Darling Harbour...
The most excited boy
To be out of the pram
And on Mummy's back!



22 September 2012


Enjoying the rearranged kitchen with Loppy.



21 September 2012


Fritzy Ritzy Friday with Nanny.



20 September 2012



Bastien loves the zucchini fritters
That Cat brings around for lunch,
And practices picking them up
With his clever fingers.

19 September 2012


A beautiful day
Under the shade of the clothesline
Playing, and eating, and talking...



18 September 2012


It's a lovely day for a walk with Nanny.
When she suggests chippies in the park,
Bastien curls his toes and revels in the birds; the sky;
His mangled soggy chip.



17 September 2012


A day of fun at the Toaster!

There's plenty of time
To stand up on everything,
Pull milk onto the carpet,
Have Nanna cuddles,
And bubbles everywhere!





16 September 2012


The sweetest little face.



15 September 2012


Miro decides to dress Bastien as a dinosaur...
But Bastien's not so sure!




Later, he hangs out with Lachie and LeeLee.
("What's that you say?" he says)



14 September 2012


First tooth!



13 September 2012


Found: a couple of cuties in the garden!



12 September 2012


First Hawaiian sweet potato!



11 September 2012


Evening entree...
Bread, lightly chewed.

10 September 2012


Getting used to wearing a hat;
Watching the world go by.



9 September 2012


Drawn by the garden crumbs
Of a house of four bread-loving little people
A currawong family makes our acquaintance four weeks ago
And accompanies the babies through the sunny days...




8 September 2012


Playing chasies with Lowan
Is one of Bastien's favourite activities!




Later on, we visit Nanny and Din
Where Papa poses as a temporary double high chair
For banana-eating babies.

7 September 2012


Despite being sleepy
Bastien squawks at going into his cot
And Din can't stand it, rescuing him
From imminent, terrible nap!



6 September 2012


In the old days
We used to use a cloth
To wipe down the twins after a meal.

Now we strip them off,
Wash them under the tap in the kitchen sink,
And replace all the clothes, including the nappy!

That pumpkin, banana, bread and biscuit is really ground in.




5 September 2012


Hold onto your banana tight, Bastien!



4 September 2012


Mama's boy
Is always using her legs
For standing practice.



3 September 2012


Standfest!
At Archie and Rose's house.

2 September 2012


Father's Day in the Bali Bed.



1 September 2012


Catching up on a spot of reading at Mummy's book club!



31 August 2012


The babbies are having more and more finger food,
Making mealtimes much more messy than ever before!
Here they share a last dinner with dear Virginie
Before she sets off for Cairns...




30 August 2012


We try to take a photo of the twins for Hoodie Day
But they're far too hungry and sleepy to co-operate!
