Vegemite kid

Charlotte had her first taste of vegemite the other day. The rice cake never stood a chance. It was gone in minutes. Charlotte just loved licking the vegemite.

All gone ... some evidence remains of her vegemite spree.

Now that I am back at work, mornings can be a bit hectic. But I always have the time to get a photo with our girl.

I love Saturday mornings as I don't have to rush out the door and can sit and play with Charlotte for hours.

Seven months young

Charlotte was seven months young on 1 November. We feel so incredibly blessed to have such a happy and healthy girl.

Hanging out in her room. You don't have to work hard to get a smile out of her.

Charlotte went to her cousin Molly's fourth birthday party and had her first taste of birthday cake. Mum (happily) ate the rest.

With Nanny

Charlotte seized on the opportunity to steal a ride in a walker. She is doing really well in walkers. Backwards seems to be her favourite direction! Cousin Emma watches on.


Phil goes for a ride on the jet ski before the party.

Happy Birthday Frenzal!

Frenzal celebrated his 8th birthday on 26th October!

We celebrated with a birthday candle, although I had to be quick with the camera because Charlotte started to reach for the flame.



Eight years old and still handsome!


Some grey hairs have started to appear on his chin - more so since Charlotte has been around.


Birthdays can be soooooo tiring.

For some reason lately, Charlotte has really enjoyed seeing the world upside down.


Frenzal is the best distraction for Charlotte. Just goes to show that you don't need all the fancy toys that are constantly marketed to you.

More cuddles for Frenzal, although he doesn't seem that enthused by it all.

Relaxing at the coast

We recently spent some time at the coast. As fun as it was, you need to take some much stuff when travelling with a baby. And the worst part is coming home and unpacking. Here is a selection of photos from our holiday.

They grow up so fast. Just the other day, Charlotte was wearing her jeans and asked me whether her bum looked big in them!

By far the coolest baby shoes. Thanks JD!








We love this photo!


Chilling in the pool with cousins Molly and Emma.


Thanks Aunty Mel for the dress!

Out and about. More water ends up down the front of her than in her mouth.


We both don't understand what Dad is saying ...

Charlotte was popular with the seagulls who were eyeing off her rusk.



The water was a bit cold so we only put our feet in.



Charlotte is now having three meals a day and her taste buds are maturing. Not into the rice cereal anymore and would happily eat vegies for all three meals if we let her.

Holidays can be so tiring. Charlotte normally goes to bed at about 7:30pm but didn't even make it 7pm one night and fell asleep during her feed.

Charlotte loves her Poppy!

More food

Charlotte is loving her carbs but is not really into anything sweet such as fruit or custard. And she only likes home cooked vegies ... spits the jar food straight out.
