Another Monkey

After taking the monkey photos of Ollie last week, I just had to take some of Jett too.....before he outgrows his monkey suit! He loves having his photo taken so it was no trouble getting him to dress up and come outside for a bit of a photo session - he's well used to these now :) It's another thing getting him to smile for photos but I thought these ones were really cute......there's one where he reminds me of me when I was a little kid - I'm sure I've seen a photo where I'm pulling the same face......

Jett and his cousins

The Boys and I have just come back from 3 nights in Dubbo, visiting Anney and the boys. I had the best time with Anney......we didn't go out heaps or do lots but it was just so nice being with eachother and Jett being able to play with his cousins - especially Lijey who's only 18 months older than Jett. Jett just adores Lijey - they slept in the same room in Dubbo and the 2 of them had so much trouble getting to sleep - they'd giggle in bed until we had to take Lijey into Anney's bed until they both fell asleep. Joseph and Timmy had school each day but when they were home, Jett was right in their faces asking them endless questions and following them around. Ollie was a little dream while we were there - sleeping pretty well and being entertained by the boys and cuddled by Anney :) The photo of Ollie on the right was taken after Timmy stuck stickers on his face.....I couldn't resist taking a photo! Jimmy commented that it doesn't look heaps like Ollie - I think that might be because he's squinting from the camera flash??

We missed Jimmy heaps - especially because it was our 2nd Wedding Anniversary while I was away....how time flies when you're having fun! That 2 years has just flown by!

Lil Ollie

Our baby turned 7 months this week and that time has just flown by! Every day I feel so blessed to have such a happy, healthy little man (make that 2 happy, healthy little men) - he gets whingey when he's tired but apart from that, his day is spent laughing at his big brother. Jett just adores him and plays with him all the time....fetching toys for him and making up silly songs to make him laugh. Last night, Ollie woke up at 3:30am for some reason and before I got to Ollie's bedroom I heard Jett calling out "Ollie it's OK" - my heart melted!

Ollie outgrew his capsule this week and we've moved him into his car seat - he's still a little on the light side so he's still facing backwards but it still felt like a big milestone :)

He's sitting up all by himself these days and can work himself onto his hands and knees - he rocks back and forth on his hands and knees but hasn't worked out the art of crawling yet.

He's eating 2 solid meals a day - cereal/weet bix/pureed fruit for breakfast and mashed up vegies at night followed by yoghurt....and he loves it (although he doesn't think much of pureed broccoli or cauliflower....I can't say I blame him).

I got busy with the camera yesterday and had a ball taking these photos.
