We are getting lots and lots of teeth at the moment. And the only way to deal with the pain of all these teeth busting through is to be as close to Mummy as possible. This made playgroup a little less fun today and impossible for me to take a non miserable photo that wasn’t blurred from him being so close to the lens.
I don’t think I have ever seen Archer’s eyes so big! It isn’t everyday that a majority of the animals in your favourite books all meet up in one place.
Opa took us to the Koala sanctuary today and I think we will be regular visitors. Archer had the best time feeding, stroking, drumming and chasing the kangaroos. This one here was lucky he hopped away before Archer got a better grip on his tail…
I am surprised it has taken me this long to capture this gesture. A couple of months ago Archer started talking with his first word being ‘ayaa’ (Layla the dog). Second in line was ‘Dadda’ and ‘Daddy’. This continued for a short while and then around 6 weeks ago everything became ‘La’. All day everyday anything that could be something was pointed to and followed by a soft little ‘La’. Until the object being pointed to was recognised correctly he would keep on pointing and ‘la ing’ until you had gotten it right!
Over the last 3 weeks, much to our delight, we have seen a return of ‘Layla’, ‘Dadda’ and ‘Daddy’ plus a couple of new ones 
‘Nanna’
‘Ooooda’ (Oma)
‘Arrrchar’
‘Arrchin’ (trying to say Sebastian)
‘Goh’ (Gone)
And the new one today is ‘Agoh’ (All gone)
And yes if you were wondering ‘Mama’ is still missing. He does say ‘Mum’ and ‘Mum mum’ but not in context. Oh well one day
Sweet fine strands of beautiful baby hair.
Today was our first day at playgroup and we had the most wonderful time. This place is a wonderland and I am so grateful we stumbled across it. There was scone baking, felt ball making, singing, chooks and a horse. I can’t wait until next week!
Here he is exploring the pumpkin patch.
Over the last 4 weeks we have been really lucky and have had Oma all to ourselves. We have been on picnics, lunched at several cafes, played at the park, shopped in the city, danced and just had lots of fun together. Today marked the end to her holiday so it was a bit sad for us all…
We already miss you “Ooooodaaaa”!
“Stayin’ Alive!”
