Anna has started "solid" food.  She's not too happy about this.  

Anna has big blue eyes, just like her brother

The arrival of her first tooth is imminent.  In the meantime, she can't resist her hands. 

Its quite tricky to get a photo of Noah & Anna together.  I gave up on smiling a long while ago, and now I consider it a success if they're both looking in the general direction of the camera.  Here they are in all their imported (from the USA, not really all that exotic) pajama glory. 

Anna's swimsuit

Even though it is still winter, we couldn't resist buying Anna a swimsuit the other day.  After 2 years of being subjected to relatively boring swim trunks and Speedos (gasp! :) in the boys' department, I was a bit eager to finally be able to purchase one of the cute girly suits I'd admired from afar.   

This is just a quick photo of Anna in her cute headband that was a gift from our good friend Jorgie. Thanks!  And yes, Jen, if youre reading this, your beautiful photos of Campbell inspired me to do a little photoshoot in the headband:)

Michael's Birthday!

Yesterday was Michael's thirtysomething birthday! He had a wonderful day and in the evening we went to see Wicked, which has only recently opened in Melbourne at the historic Regent Theatre. It was a very entertaining show; Glenda and Elphaba were spectacular and worthy of the standing ovation they received. While at the show we bought an "ozmopolitan", only because of the neon green, light-up cosmo glass it came in, knowing Noah would be fascinated with it (see photos). Happy birthday Michael, we all love you!!!

Picnic, Noah-style.

Here is Noah being his silly self. He collected each and every piece of his cutlery and I later found him having a little picnic... in the bathroom.
