The little sister


129/365 (Vada)

I love the dynamics between these two. Even at such a young age, Vada knows that sometimes Zavia deserves a good old eye role.

Axolotl

My baby boy resembles the mexican walking fish...who would have thought.

Compact

All she needs now is a womb to sit in.


(no photo of Zavia today (insert sad face here.))

Moo


127/365 (Vada)

This is Vadas new favourite toy. It is a farm yard magnet set (that was Zavias). It makes animal noises and Vada has started 'mooing' along with it. Very cute.

Dread lock


127/365 (Zavia)

I've always had this dream of giving my little boy dreadlocks.

I never however dreamed of him getting them this way...

I woke up this morning to a blood curdling screech coming from the lounge room. I jumped out of bed and ran down the hallway as fast as my sleepy legs could carry me to find Zavia with his toy drill stuck to his head and still spinning. The button has a mind of its own and often gets stuck in the 'on' mode until you forcibly pull the button 'off'. The poor little boy had put it to his head and got his hair caught in the exposed cog. I grabbed the drill in one hand and the chunk of hair that was caught in the other hand and with my two little fingers tried to turn the stupid toy off while shuffling him into the bathroom where I new their were some scissors. We eventually managed to get him unattached and perused the damage. He now has a bald patch where the hair was ripped from the root and a lovely little dread lock beside it.

Pinchy


126/365 (Vada)

Vada has started a rather annoying habit. Although the pincer action is crucial to her fine motor skill development, I wish she didn't feel the need to practise this skill on me. She manages to grab the smallest amount of skin and not only pinch it but role it between her fingers. OUCH! is a common word in my vocabulary. Good thing I love her unconditionally.

Looking over the presupus

The BMX track. What a brilliant concept. Zavia would live here if he had the choice. I was totally shocked at how brave he is getting. Zavia only started riding a bike a few months ago and already attempting the big jumps. I should also state that Ben is holding onto the bike for his own peace of mind...Zavia would have happily done this all by himself.

Not so sure.

Our girl loves the water. Bath time is the highlight of her day. Cold ocean water though?? She is slowly warming up to the idea.

Surfing with daddy

His favourite thing to do.

Bored

Just another one of Zavias many expressions. Waiting in the car is never a fun experience when there is so much world to explore.
