Rainy day and no car

It was a yucky day today and the car was in the panel beaters, so definately a stay home day. Nathan had a morning with no nappy, just track pants on which he loved, but at this stage has either no ability or no desire to let me know when somethings coming, so two pairs of trackies down we were back to a nappy. I think we'll save the no nappy time for when it's a bit warmer and he can cruise around with nothing. We haven't been too worried about full on potty training as we think he'll get there eventually. We just keep asking if he wants to sit on it and mostly he responds with a NO. He's starting to a bit more but just for short bursts with no real result. He can't stay in nappies forever :)
We got creative in the afternoon making butterflies and colouring in. Maia had a bit of a mixed up day with her sleeps and feeds, maybe she's having a growth spurt as she seemed a lot hungrier today. She is getting her six week immunisations tomorrow, hope she goes alright.





Luca's first birthday

On the weekend we went to the Mount for Luca's first birthday. We had a yummy hangi feed and a good catch up with all the Mounties.







Off in the car

Maia hates getting into her carseat, but once underway she drifts off to sleep no worries. We've been on a few long trips and everytime she's travelled so well.




Wally the Wombat

Uncle Pete from Brissie was over for work and brought the kiddies some cool aussie gifts. A very lifelike and cool stuffed toy wombat for Maia and an Adelaide Crows footy for Nathan. It has been hard to try and get him to understand it's not a rugby ball though. Dean and Pete have a deal going where Dean will support the Crows in the AFL if Pete will support the Warriors in the ARL. Unfortunately the Warriors choked, boo hoo :(
Here's Maia with her wombat which turned a few heads when it was in the pram, people thinking there was some kinda pet or possum in there :)
