back on 30 October we celebrated the 1st birthday of our young one brodie. a day full of paper tearing, sugar coated, finger licking goooodenss. he had no idea what the fuss was about but indulged and humoured his mum and dad with the family for the day. like every first child/grandchild he was spoiled senseless but he took it on the chin.

speaking of firsts (his uncle waza will love this) we took brodie to the pool for the first time for swimming lessons or as i like to see it DROWNING. strangely this act didn't seem to bother brodie and we spent more time in the adult pool in the deep end than interacting with the other kids.

another feature that has taken place is on the sunday before his birthday, we were at the shopping centre. while i was getting di the morning skinny, half fat, double choc with cream coffee, brodie decided to get off his chair and walk to me as if he had been doing it for years, sneaky bugger. not just a couple of steps but a good 20 meters navigating through the crowd. i think he has been practicing in his sleep so he is off and about now

does it get better

here we are managing to put away one of Australia's (now America's) finest. the one and only classic, "TIM TAM".

hands on

one of my favourite photos. we brought brodie a guitar the other day but when he got his hands on it he turned it around and tried to play it the other way. think we might have a leftie
