December days

We headed out top Raumati South just after Christmas for lunch and a trip to the playground with Shirley, Heath, Briana and Hayley.
Iris and Hayley travelled in style.Playing on trucks is accompanied by a brrrm, brrrm soundtrack.
Briana is the king of the castle.
Having kids is a balancing act, according to Heath.
Mums in the sun.
Running is the BEST mode of transport...
..except when your bike is handy (here Iris models the latest in biking accessories - the stripy, knitted helmet and velvet bag draped casually over her wrist really set this ensemble off).
We have enjoyed a few sunny days between the rainy ones...
We've discovered that Iris is a bit of a chip fiend. Here she is polishing off a bowl of lemon pepper wedges (which were very spicy!) and demonstrating the art of dipping.

Phocus on Phoebe (4 months)


Chilling out on the deck (literally - woolly jumpers in December!?)
Bracing herself for a trip to playgroup...
...which was so much fun, she couldn't stop squealing.
Having a drink with Scotty.
Her first taste of solids - talk about a hungry baby. She really lets you know if you're taking too long with the next spoonful.
She was enjoying the jolly jumper until big sister came along!

Out for lunch in the big smoke.
Rock and rolling - this baby is on the move!
Tuckered out and off to bed with all her bedtime pals.

Christmas

It seems an age ago now but here's a selection of Christmas Day pics. We had a lovely day with Grandmarg and Grandad, Kate and Amelia. Iris was in heaven - each new present was greeted with an "oooooh!" and she very kindly helped out Phoebe with the unwrapping. A big thanks to those who sent gifts and cards - very much appreciated.Scott and Haidee came by Christmas morning with very cool hand puppets (Tom the Tiger, Harry the Hippo - now we just need Dick the dog so we'll have Tom, Dick and Harry!)
This present has had a LOT of use since Xmas Day.
Phoebe's cuddly kangaroo (from Grandmarg and Grandad) is bigger than her.

Phoebe's favourite present.

The sandpit/paddling pool was a hit!
