Hey everyone Harry here..
Finally I get a chance to tell my story..
Well November was HUGE Summer was upon us and the only thing to do was to hit the pool!!!
So in Lily went.. a lily poo;.jpg She loved it..
Bubba on the other hand was a little more reserved preferring to tip water on himself instead
a joe pool.jpg

Bub told mum that he fancied himself a bit of a model and asked if she could take some head shots of him.. this is the best he could come up with
b bub.jpgb bub rab.jpgb bub kiss.jpg

November was also a big month for Bubba cause the Nappy fairy came and took all this nappies away..
c nappy fairty.jpg and left some cool stickers and the funkiest roary the racing car undies your could ever want… c roary pants.jpg
So it was officially Bubba was a “big boy” and such wore “Big Boy” pants… and like me got to use the toilet…c toilet training.jpg
The good news is that this was the one and only time he actually sat on the toilet with a smile on his face and after 3 weeks of 10 changes of clothes a day the nappy fairy wrote Bubba a letter and told him that “it wasn’t him, it was her” and it was time to get back into nappies.. as things were “just not working out”

Lily also had a big month and cracked her first 2 teeth..

as the days warmed up we headed to the beach…
e harry beach.jpge joebeach.jpge lily beach.jpg was a great morning out and about 10am got too much for lily so she had a little rest while the rest of us kept playing

November is also a great month for Mum as it’s her Birthday.. Ma helped Bubba and I cook a cake for her

and we helped her blow out her candles

and we also helped her eat all her cake as well

Now lets get back to me… November was also a massive month for me…
I made my bed by myself for the first time…
h make bed .jpg
and mum made a really cool dinner
h Harry dinner.jpg
and i ate all of mine…
h Harry ate all .jpg
Daddy was very happy with me for eating all my dinner!!

Dad also told us that we needed to learn how to box.. so he got Joe and I out the back and threw some gloves on…
i harry box.jpg
i joe box.jpg
i boys box.jpg
Lily took things a little too serious and ended up hiding under the fish tank!!!
i lily fish tank.jpg
cause no one would find her there!!!

Dad also ended the month with his yearly entry into Mowvember… He started with this ridiculous beard that then became a ridiculous goatie

Which then progressed to an even more ridiculous moustache thing..

Lucky he only does it once a year!!!!

Hey It’s Lily here again…
October started with a BANG and Harry’s School dance… The theme was your favourite toy etc.. Harry went as Buzz lightyear, Joe went as Woody and I went as a cute little butterfly angel…a school dance.jpg
Harry took a while to warm up but once he did he was unstoppable on the dance floor.. Joe on the other hand was unstoppable at the food table!!!.. consuming anything in site!!.. was quite embarrassing actually and at times i pretended I didn’t know who he was!!!

Harry also tried out this new sleeping style!!!. was the funniest… he was so tired he went to sleep like this!!!b harry sleeping .jpg ha too tired to even lay down…

Big month for me as I started to Crawl.. c lily crawl.jpg The world was now at my feet and my family at my beg and call.. the fun had begun..

We were also back into swimming lessons as well… We go every Monday and I swim first with Mum.. then Harry and Joe swim… we are going pretty good… Joe is by far the best looking guy at the pool…e joe swimming.jpg
While Harry leaves them all for dead in the water… e harry swim.jpg

October was also the month to try and snag the infamous “kids group” photo… You have to give it to mum.. she really puts in a good effort and did snag a couple of beauties!!!
f family pic.jpgf joe.jpgf lily.jpg

It’s been really hard to get a photo of Harry as he is always being really silly .. like sticking he tongue out or pulling my ears or something.. he really needs to just grow up.. seriously..
so mum had another crack one night after we had all had a bath and Ma and Pa were around and we were all massively hyped up.. but once again.. Harry had to be the joker.. check him out
g group shot.jpg
While Joe and I just nailed the photos..
g joe.jpgg lily.jpg
Harry was still struggling…

But finally after the photo shoot budget had completely blown out and we were getting on in the night he finally got it.. and yes there was only the one photo…

this is the best we could come up with
b silly hats.jpg
the little dolly was by far the cutest with this effort
c lily hat.jpg
what a little doll !!!

Early in the month dad took Harry and I out for a fish.. I loved it but Harry was the gun.. hooked one all on his own.. I was off busy playing in the sand!!

September also happens to be the best month of the year cause it’s my BIRTHDAY !!!
yep I turned 2 and of course I got lots of pressies… and I got some really cool dress up stufff joes bday.jpgf joes bday1.jpg
We had a BIG party with all my friends and Mum cooked me a really cool train cake
f joe cake.jpg
and I had heaps of fun
f joe party play.jpg

The one thing I did notice this month was Lily’s power to control.. Now this seems to be a gradual thing but she is really starting to put her stamp on things and has Harry and I both wrapped around her little finger.. Harry feeds her bottles while I give her feet a rub!!!
g boys helping lily.jpg

But she is still the cutest little dolly!!!
