Playing on the deck.

A fun Sunday morning with Daddy - I ran off to town to do a few jobs & the boys hung out together. Lovely!

Asleep in his hut

This is Jarvis's portacot. Somewhat unconventional for a portacot in that it is actually portable. I'll have to take a photo of it all rolled up into its little bag, it is teeny weeny.

What's really fantastic though is that he's in it & fast asleep, has been for about an hour now! Yes!! We're off on an adventure next week to visit his grandparents, and I've been pondering his sleeping arrangements, their house isn't really set up for the hammock unless he wants to sleep poking out of a wardrobe, and he'd never slept in his little tent til this morning. Feeling a whole lot better about it now though :)

How it's going to fit in our room I don't know, but I'm sure with a bit of cunning furniture rearranging we'll be sweet as...

Father's Day Card

This is the card Jarvis made for his Dad on Father's Day! It was quite a challenging endeavour...His hair had red paint & glitter in it for several days! Pretty cool though :)

A sunrise & a happy memory....

On a visit to the bathroom early this morning (to get to our bathroom you have to leave the house...it's in a little room off the side of the deck!) I stood for a few moments & watched the sunrise. Then I decided to take a picture of it.

Anyhow, whilst standing & watching the sunrise I had remembered a similar moment while I was in early labour with Jarvis. My waters had broken at 8pm the night before, so I hadn't had a whole lot of sleep, but the whole business was still quite bearable.

I was standing in my nightie out by the garden, looking at the same view in the photo, holding my enormous puku & smiling because I knew that later on that day I would get to meet my baby :)

Brought a wee tear to my eye thinking about it! Lovely...

Sleeping!

After a week we have one beautiful happy little monkey, fast asleep in his cot during the day!! No crying was involved, just a cd with mystical powers (cheers Anke!) & some jiggling (also thanks to Anke!). He's been happily taking naps in his cot for 3 days now, and sleeping for decent stretches without me needing to attach springs to the legs of the bed.

I had to sneak into the bedroom to take the photo, then lighten it up a bit before I could post it - there was no way I was sneaking into the room to do a bit of secretive flash photography :)

Yay!

Jarvis also loves playing in the afternoon sunshine...

Jarvis Loves Peas (Mummy does not...)

Who is this strange pea-eating boy!? The pea hating gene must have missed him...
