Category Archives: Project 365: A picture a day for a year

It’s that time of the month (no, not THAT time).

TJ was lucky enough to get into his sister’s room. He promptly went for her tools, thus saving me the trouble of posing him with them for the inevitable ‘steampunk baby’ shoot.

TJ fell asleep on my lap this morning (no point spending an hour putting him down for a 40-minute nap) and I attempted to gently lower him to the floor so I could do stuff while I had the chance. Naturally, I hit his head against the floor – but he was sufficiently tired he stayed lyingContinue reading “Pfft”

While Louisette and Chris and I we nt to Skyfire last night, TJ stayed with my parents at their house.       FYI Our internet is having major issues, so posts could be sporadic for a while.

Not for the first time, and not for the last.

TJ loves saying “Hello” (both literally and in the general sense). This is his face as our friends arrived for dinner.

It’s hilarious when a child is old enough to handle a sippy cup and gets to fully go for it. (He did really well – the lay-it-down method was surprisingly effective – but when he squeezed it and the lid came off I switched to the blue one.)

Last year, we took Louisette to the Canberra Balloon Festival, and it’s her first memory – so of course we went again this year. TJ’s at an age where aeronautical marvels and supermarkets are roughly equally enthralling. . . but they are enthralling.   The last photo is the pack of us having breakfast atContinue reading “Balloon Boy”

TJ’s godparents bought us an afternoon cruise while they were here. Louisette had been on boats in Hong Kong when she was two months old, so she had a great time (and now we can say the familiar phrase, “You have been on a boat, but you were  a baby” to TJ too). He hadContinue reading “Cabin Boy”

After meeting his paternal aunt and uncle for the first time last week, TJ met his godparents today (who are also his aunt’s parents). The next few days are brimming with thrilling activities with the godparents before they’re off to foreign parts again (they usually live in Hong Kong). Today we visited Boundless playground and AspenContinue reading “Godparents”

TJ is nine months old today. It’s funny how quickly it becomes impossible to imagine life without a baby who’s been around such a short time. While we were down the coast, he started doing “proper” crawling (instead of the sea-lion flollop he’s favoured for the last six weeks) for the first time. Today heContinue reading “Better out than in”

TJ’s has a new thirst for adventure.

Gratuitous pics of the house, more paddling, and TJ’s first surf.

Oh, and a Jacuzzi too 🙂  Complete with bonus aunt and uncle visiting from China.
