Obviously, I lied

Okay, so I lied about never waiting a long time between posting photos ever again. Here's the next batch - and I'm already behind again since I uploaded these. This photo a day thing is taking over my life! Starting at March 13...

Finally got it... the big smile when John walks through the door after work.

Urghhhh... if you look closely here (don't!) you can see L's streaming nose, in full flow again only 30s after exiting the bath. Not a very good day.

She LOVES the cat. LOVES him. Having her in the house is like having a geiger counter, but for felines - she can always sense when he's getting close and goes crazy with joy. Which isn't very often, because he's terrified of her. This is the closest they've ever been - she can't believe her luck.

I guess we have to wait for the scan to be sure... but twins DO run in the family.

You got any idea what this photo is supposed to be about? Are we supposed to be scientists or something? Is this an atom? Why are we dressed in matching clothes?

It's the middle of March, and the crocuses are FINALLY out. It was a long, long, long winter.

I guess this explains why that modelling contract never quite came through.

The grandparents are here, and they are a HIT. L has a huge, giant crush on her grandpa.

This boy is so proud of himself. He's been sitting up for weeks, but still thinks he's King Kong every time he does it. I love it.

Happy mothers' day to me!

She's wearing the only outfit that I have ever sewn for her (so far). She's really too big for it here, but I wanted a record so that when she's older, I can prove that I did make her something.... once.


Baby Isaias has developed a MANIA for being upside down. It's hilarious. I guess all the blood is good for his brain. I hope so.

I LOVE this photo. I have to admit that I don't think I took it - mum and I were sharing the camera, and I'm pretty sure this is hers. My memory card, though, so it's going in my pile. Ha.



Outside! On the deck!


No, really, he asked ME on the date. Honestly.

(by the way, for those of you who were worried, these birthday suits are STICKERS that go on ordinary babygros. I have not bought 24 special babygros for 12 days in the year).

Prozac is good for them, yes?

Focusing without using the viewfinder = very glad I'm not shooting on expensive film.

Most frequent view of the boy

Last year sometime, Kate Moss got herself in trouble again for quoting the old line 'nothing tastes as good as thin feels'. Well, all I can say is that it's clear Kate Moss has never tasted these cookies.

How does so much cute fit in such a tiny package, miss Lulit?


Whew! Over and out.

From now on...

I will never, ever leave it so long between uploading my project 365 pictures ever again. Our poor computer is protesting at the action by making clanking noises that belong sometime during the industrial revolution, not on the information superhighway. It sounds like somebody is running a steel mill in there - mysterious.

So, due to my behind-ness, lots of photos today. It's been quite a while, and things have happened.

The babies have outgrown their bearsuits. I nearly cried.
(Just to avoid any confusion, the captions refer to the photo above....)

It turns out we have a push-me-pull-you that sleeps in our cot.

The babies have started to learn what toys are for...


our little man is sitting up!


our little girl just concentrates on being beautiful...

all together.... aaaaahhhhhhhh.....

Grandma came to help us go to the hospital, and found out what happens when you say 'yes' to the question 'will you pose with the babies?' without asking any questions first

the babies turned seven months... (and John got home from work early because he was at a conference! Woo hoo! I think this is the first time he has ever seen the babies before bathtime on a weekday)

Isaias has a carnivorous cardigan...


he found his feet...
I really don't like this picture, but it was a busy day and that was the only one I got. This spotty outfit sure looked a lot cuter on ebay.

there were weekends...

I can't remember what happened on this day, but it was obviously shocking

We went outside for the first time ever just to enjoy the sunshine rather than to get somewhere as quickly as possible through the whipping wind

yep, the babies have feet

I messed around with my flash, trying to get a vampire picture (who says being at home all day is not intellectually stimulating?)

dining al fresco

We visited John's family up north... this is the three brothers with their three sons.

Lulu appears to be plotting world domination

We see this face a lot at the moment... not quite sure what it means...

and L learned to sit up too.


I was warned, but I couldn't really believe it - it's all happening so fast.

Episode 20, In which I cannot manage to insert any text between the photos



So, this has been the last few weeks. I was going to provide a running commentary, but didn't for three reasons:

  1. I'ts pretty much all cutesy babies (including a visiting baby!!), except for one train and one cat and one massive baby-led-weaning-FAIL. You're smart. You can figure out which ones these are, I suspect.
  2. I've just switched blog editors and wow, I thought the photo uploading in the OLD editor was bad. Now I can't seem to insert lines for captions between photos, or paste in more than one at once. I'm sure it's fixable with a bit of googling, but
  3. I'm hungry, and need to eat my dinner. Like, REALLY hungry. Too often, this new phase of life means 12 hours of starvation followed by four hours of chocolate once they're in bed. I'm such a good role model, really, it's amazing I'm not on TV.
