Hugo Turns Two!

on his last night as a one year old

We kept things simple this year, celebrating our little boy. A BBQ dinner the night before his birthday with all his grandparents and aunty Lari. Just eight of us, some yum food, and of course cupcakes.

We spread the gifts out over two days, and it was a heavy train and book themed year. He was pretty happy with all his goodies. (the silver #2 balloon he was not so happy with. "no like." he declared. "scared.")

Happy Birthday Hugo David. We are so proud of how well you are growing up. We love you more than you know! xxxx

Sharing his bikkies with a galah. Didn't quite work out how he planned, but it wasn't for lack of trying. He chased that bird all around the park for about 15 minutes.

Falling Slowly - Once the Musical

Thoroughly obsessed with this song at the moment, and Cristin Milioti's voice in general. Desperately want to see this musical when it comes to Melbourne. I'm a little devastated I hadn't discovered this before we went to New York as these guys were still performing at that time. Ahh, well, at lease they are on the CD and I can listen to it on repeat.

Sleeping in his own room for the first time! After having started out the nights while we were away by sleeping on a trundle in his own room, we thought it would be crazy to have him back in his cot in our room when we got home. So on Monday the 9th of June we moved his cot into his own room, took the side off it and out him to bed in his own room. Such a big boy (and such a cheezy grin)

Phillip Island 2014

We spent the June long weekend in our usual way, at Phillip Island. It's our favourite weekend of the year. The mornings found us down at the little beach at the end of our street watching Dave fly his plane, us in coats, beanies and gumboots, watching the sun rise. Breakfast followed and wanding around town or playing mini golf. In the afternoons we napped and tried not to get blown off the cliffs at the Nobbies.
