Comparing my cuties

I looked at this picture of Alena and thought back to Logan around the same age and thought I would do a comparison. So, I dug out my cutest Logan picture from almost 3 months old and I came to one conclusion....



...damn, I have some cute kids

Logan and the Statues

We are loving the members of the zoo pass. It was only $150 and we can go to the 3 Victoria zoos as much as we want in a year. We have really been utilizing it for the Melbourne Zoo. It has been really neat watching Logan really get into seeing the animals. Among his favorite, the Gorilla (or Logan pounding on his chest), the monkeys (Logan going oohh-ohhh--ah-ah), The Elephants, (imagine Logan using his arm as a trunk) and the Orangutans (Logan can actually say Orangatan, go figure)

Today, he was really into the animal statues around the zoo.




The orangutans were our favourites though. First doing our cheeky cheese...



Then giving mama orangutan a kiss...


and then baby orangutan gets a kiss...



Finishing our day at the seals...ar ar!


Sweet Girl

You know me, camera crazy mom. I have such cute subjects. Today I decided to compile the cutest pics of our little miss from the last few weeks. There are just so many.

Hanging out on Dad's lap.

All smiles


But this time, Logan was pretty much as bald as a billiard. Although it is little thinner, I do not think she is going to be bald, yeah! I love her little locks.


Thanks to Auntie Denise for this cute little outfit -- she's rockin the headband


She knows how to smile with those eyes --Tyra Banks would be impressed.


Such a sweet girl!

Friends

Meilin and Alena hanging out together. Hard to believe that these little girls are a week apart.




Logan and Clive swinging to reach the sky.


So, what do you think about this big brother thing?


Poke, poke!


Peek-a-boo


It is so nice to see Logan starting to really interact with these two little buddies. Although, it looks like Eve is more interested in her watermelon and Logan loving Clive's bus.




Love this shot.



Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

A chillin hot weekend

So it was a gorgeous weekend a week ago and we decided to just relax at home. We started our day off with exploring the inside rainbow. Logan just loved how it was on the floor and then his hand. But got him more was how it would slowly move in the room, onto the wall. Neat stuff.


After venturing to the market, we relaxed in the yard. This little miss relaxed more than the rest of us with a nice snooze on mum's lap.






And Logan had his first experience with the homemade popsicle. It took him a little while to get the licking coordination down. It was quite a sight watching him try and figure it out.



And another cute summer outfit, thanks Melissa and Jeremy.

What the giraffe?

So, do not know how this happened, but we have started a giraffe collection. We didn't even realize we had so many until we lined them all up (and that is another one in his hand). And, today, although I don't have a pic, Logan is even wearing a giraffe shirt. If I only knew what sound they make for playtime.







Alena's new room.

Well, all our extra helping hands have left and we now got to convert the guest room into Alena's room. We were very excited! It was going to be a bit tight, but we were determined to make it work. As you can see, Lena was ready to rock and roll.


Lena the foreman overseeing the days work.


Logan was a great little helping putting the crib together. First beginning with a starter screwdriver.


Then progressing to a big-boy screwdriver.



After all the work was finished, Lena tries out her new crib.



I think she is very happy with the upgrade.


We are all really happy with the finished product of Lena's room.



Here is the room decor, bugs, dragonflies and butterflies.


Christening the room with a didgeridoo song by the men-folk.


Day at the beach!

Well, it being spring here we have had some pretty amazing weather. The high 20's to early 30's. We are just loving it. And the one thing with Nana is she has forced (in the nicest way) us to get out and do stuff out of the house. We ventured out the Melbourne beaches a few times, which living here for 2 years I have only done once, with Nana last time. So, it was great fun.

Lena sporting yet another very cute summer outfit.


Logan being a great big brother settling Lena while we try to rush out the door.



Having fun picking through the sand for shells.


Nana relaxing with Lena in the beach tent.


Building in the sand, although this didn't last for too long. Throwing rocks in the water was much more entertaining.




Also, dumping water on mummy's feet is pretty fun too.



Synchronised rock collecting.



Look a bit like Vancouver, doesn't it?
