This was Miller's first time "helping" me make a cake! He loved it. It took a complete outfit change at the end. He managed to get the cake mix all over himself, Indigo, me and the kitchen!

As Indigo and Miller get older there differences are standing out more and more. This photo demonstrates Indigo's clean eating and Miller's messy eating. Miller did find every piece of popcorn and eat it and when he was done with his, he roughed his way in on Indi's bowl.

Our 2 children could not be more opposite. I am not sure Indi has ever touched a dog and the first opportunity that Miller had he was all over the dogs in Dubai. His favourite part was their eyes. The dogs were the most placid things ever, they wouldn't even move when he tried.And yes, Miller is starting a new fashion with the no shirt, bib look.

Indigo had an excellent time with her Uncle Jack and Aunty Sam in Dubai. She would run around like crazy with Uncle Jack and get totally worn out, then rest and be gentle with Aunty Sam.

So going to the Middle East you don't really think about packing your winter woolies, but we needed them! We spent a morning at Ski Dubai which is in the middle of a shopping center and absolutely freezing. A quick stop at the shops by Grandma and Grandpa and Indigo was decked out in warm gear, (yes it was an issue that the gloves were green and not Pink, i think it is the first purchase for

Well, we survived all the flights to Dubai. Both kids were awesome (most of the time). They both slept a lot, Miller was wedged into the bassinet. We were lucky enough to be flown home by my Dad who gave Indigo her own message over the "loud telephone" (as Indi called it). We had the best in air service, we felt like celebrities. First class service......in economy.

I was never taught to cook, (my Mum says she taught me to read and that is all you need, she does have a good point....recipes) but I now have it in my head to teach Indigo. This is so that when she is old enough to operate the oven she can cook for all of us, I have no hope of Cam learning. If it takes longer than opening a cereal box he isn't interested. So, she had her first lesson today, we

Indigo used to sit and inspire Cam's creative work process, Miller has now taken over. The problem with Indigo is she has become too computer savvy. She now knows how to use the mouse and tries to navigate to Bob the Builder on YouTube. Miller on the other hand will look at the toy laptop for about 1 minute before launching himself at it and trying to eat it. His 7 teeth are making their mark

Although the family photo might show it, Indi and Miller love a morning at the zoo, especially when Cam can come. We have annual passes, so Miller, Indi and I often go there in the week to burn off a bit of energy. Indigo loves running from animal to animal and Miller loves sitting in the pram and eating while watching Indigo run from animal to animal. No trip to the zoo is complete without a

Top photo - Indigo 4 months Second photo - Miller 6 monthsThe blow up donut was a favourite for Indi and it is a favourite for Miller. He is getting very good at sitting up, but every now and again falls over. When he is sitting in the donut and he falls over he just bounces off the side.
