Alex and Crew

Alex and Ella (not pictured as she was asleep in the stroller) spent a lovely day with some very good friends Lachlan, Joshua, Piper and Harrison.

Wide Mouth Mason

Ella loves the jolly jumper. I think she's gonna be a bit of a thrill-seeker as she loves it when her big brother gives her huge swings and helps her to jump higher by pushing on the jolly jumper.

Oooh.. that's nice

We spent a day at the Sunshine Coast with some friends who were camping there for the weekend. Alex got a bit of a thrill sitting on the water fountian.

Happy Birthday to Bill

Bill turns 37 and celebrates with lots of presents, a Homer Simpson birthday cake and having happy birthday sung to him about 10 times so that Alex could blow out the candles.

I'm 6 months old now

Ella in her cute spring dress on a lovely day out in the park for a picnic and to feed the ducks. She's six months old now, is trying really hard to sit up but seems to have some balance issues.

Yummy yummy in my tummy

Ella's first taste of 'real' food. She's now eating three meals a day of all sorts of pureed fruits and veggies. She's an eating machine and lets out a bit of a yell if you're going too slow.

Work on the cubbyhouse continues

The roof is mostly done and the cladding is on. All we need now is a ladder to get up to the top, a slippery slide to get down and the railings around the upstairs deck. A few curtains and some shutters might not be a bad idea too. You may also notice the trees that have gone missing since the last picture. We've been busy and now we're sitting in our kitchen watching the grass grow (you can just see a faint fuzz of green starting to grow).
