Merry Christmas

It took four tries, lots of tears and promises of chocolate but I finally managed to get a photo of Ella and Alex with Santa. Christmas day was very merry and Boxing day is going to be huge. We have about 20 people coming to a bbq at my parents place -- they have a pool! Merry Christmas everybody.

Painted Baby

We did some painting today. Lots of hand prints, foot prints and a bum print. I have lots of great shots of a painted-up naked baby, but decided that they wern't suitable for publication on the internet.

Alex the Builder

Alex loves building things with his blocks. He did this all by himself. I keep telling people that he's a genius, but no one believes me. Bill was so impressed by Alex's engineering skills that he took took a photo -- it must be a boy thing.

Dancing in the Kitchen

Alex has improved his dance steps since his last boogie moment. Make sure you check out the big finale finish at the end.

Learning to Shave Already?

Here's a good picture of Alex with a fist full of shaving cream. This is the sort of fun stuff we get up to in playgroup as well as lots of painting and collage and generally getting really messy.

Ella, our little fish

Ella loves the pool.

Summer Begins in Brisbane

We spend a lot of time hanging out at my parent's place cooling off in the pool. Ella is a little fish and just loves the water. Alex is a bit more cautious, but once he's in he'll stay in until he's all wrinkled and his lips turn blue!
