Losing the curl a bit, but not the blue eyes

Running the track that his daddy mowed in the long grass

Zachary and Jasmine

Lists the milo recipe as you make it "Minoh... soogah... hot... micki micki... mihk ...Oooo, Sanks!"

Z: Hooray! I did it! (climbed out of cot)
Z: Mino peese... Sanks!

Calls pink minties "pinties".

Calls his brother and sister "Byrie" and "Dazzy" (or "Jammy")

Got taken to the doctor after another long cold.

Z: No! 'Way! (cries) MY! (keeps on fighting with his brother and sister... in his sleep Ü )

Z: DDD?
Mum: You can't have a DVD.
Z: Why?
Mum: 'cause you're wet and I have to change you.
Z: Oh dear!

Nov 27. Weight 14kg.

Z: Pintie?
Mummy: "Mmmmmmm mintie"
Z: MmmmNo!

Z: "burps" the words "excuse me". :)

Z: "do0-AAAAH" (meaning "Ta Da!")

October 2011

Zach, pointing, "Out Out Out!"

Vocabulary is starting to shoot up. Is using two words together, sometimes, like
"See Piggy"
"Oh no... fall!"
"No! My!" (heard him say this to his brother and sister a lot!)
"Go 'way!" (this too :) )
"no more..."

Using his imagination when playing, too. Noticed him playing in Jasmine's doll house with a little box he was calling "Daddy". He will make toys kiss with a "mwah" sound.

He will talk about what he's doing "micki micki" (pretending to mix food)

He developed a big love for watermelon... but only at playgroup.... until Mum figured out that she was cutting it wrong. It has to be in little bite size cubes :S

Tries to copy new words (but sometimes says "carp" instead of "scarf", etc)

August 2011

Zach can put his boots on.
Plays with the tea set.
Likes counting and the alphabet.
Whispers "PaSaaah!" when we're having pasta.
Says "nigh night", even when 95% asleep.

Quicker with two hands

July, 2011

Scampers up the ladder at every opportunity.


Spent a day at Scienceworks, which was great when we finally found an enclosed little-kid-friendly area, and didn't have to chase kids every second. (Hard for two parents to keep an eye on 3 kids sometimes, especially when they want to run every which way)

Then we headed to the Aquarium. I'm sure Zach thought it was as Awesome as it was Massive...

Looking as cute as his big brother did in this top :)

At the playground at the lake. Looking a little weary by this point, but even though he wouldn't smile you can't help loving those blue eyes and blonde curls!

June 2011

Looking up the tree that Mummy, Byron and Jasmine could climb into, but...

This slow-twisting toy drill must have felt nice on the sore gums, I think, but this will be a great photo to keep if he ends up as a dentist ;)

Playing at the Victoria Park playground

No such thing as Fear for this little slide-addict

Zach this month:

Making animal noises, especially when reading the farm book.

'Reading' books for himself

Tries to say "sandwiches" and "rooster"

Can eat tortellini with a fork

Tries to sing the alphabet. Clearly his favorite song.

Apologies: I'm very behind in updating the blogs. Unfortunately all my recent pictures just got wiped with the death of the laptop. If you have any photos from this month, please send them, and I'll edit the posts as able.
