check out my shades

Less than 5 months ago he still hated wearing the sunnies... but he's lovin' it now!

rally speech?

mr. helpful

Every Tuesday, the boy readily volunteers to carry Mummy's yoga mat to the studio.

show me bubbles

These days the boy detests taking a bath unless...... you show him lotsa bubbles!

cozying up in park

After feeding and chasing the ducks, the boy has a rest on Mummy's lap...




... and gets a surprise tickle!

quack talk

Hugh loves "talking" to this goose even though it's really fierce.

chasing ducks

Hugh and Alexis enjoying the chase.

yummy koalas

These Koala mudcakes are his favourite and so we introduced them to Alexis... guess who likes them too?

quick draw

Both Mummy and Hugh took out respective cameras and took a shot at each other!

splish splash splosh

After 5 days here, Steff & Alexis are finally having a dip in our pool. The sun was pretty strong but the water's still cold.

drool

It's still very sunny out there in the early afternoon so the kids couldn't go out and play yet... all the poor things could do was stare at the slide and drool ^_^ Don't worry, when it cooled down at about 5pm we went for a dip.


















Two days later, hugh wasn't well and had to stay indoors... so once again, drooling at the sight of the pool :)

elbowing mummy

Sometimes when Mummy asks for a kiss... she gets an elbow instead!

happy day @ chipmunks

cheers!

While the lamb chops are grilling, the 3 of us are enjoying our mango daiquiris... well, virgin mango daiquiri for the boy of course!

backward sliding

Somehow he thinks this is fun.

ettalong beach & woy woy weekend

After we walked through the weekend markets, we took some time to feed the seagulls and watch the boats at Ettalong Beach.




Errr... the bread is for the gulls, boy!




A quick play at the playground before our fish & chips lunch.




Yummy chips!

He is familiar with Dragon's Door now and knows exactly what they serve for lunch.

Having a drink together.


Bottoms up!!!

We patted and posed with Mo, the Koala...

hello ducks

A couple of ducks walked by and Hugh managed to feed them some bread.

tennis practice

He first had a go at this at Rivers'... then he played with Willow & Summer's.

Now he has his very own... thanks to Nana!

merry-go-round

it's not christmas yet, boy!

So Mummy places 2 presents under the tree and when the boy sees them what does he do? Yup, drag one out and...

not really helping to put up christmas tree

loves bao

He said "Yummy, yummy!" the whole time he was eating the dou sha bao.

checking out the tree

Daddy got the Christmas tree out of the box today and the boy loves the LED lights.

always on the phone these days

Wonder who he thinks he's chatting with....hmmmm....

christmas present found...

... before it can be wrapped. Fortunately we managed to take it off him after a while without too much protest.

morning kiss for mummy

On some mornings Mummy's lucky enough to get kisses from him without asking ^_^

colour with crayola at 26 months

Today the boy's 26 months old!

Mummy lets him colour with his first box of crayola.



Then he was asked whether or not he wanted to watch the Thomas Misty Island Rescue DVD...


... and he watched with so much anticipation and excitement!

cheers!

This is one way to get him to drink water ^_^

flying nun?
