Colouring in, is Boston’s latest craze!! It’s fantastic! He just happily sits in his high chair & colours in for ages!! Yay for me who now gets to have an uninterupted shower. Although sometimes I’m finding myself doing a bit of colouring too! Quite addictive! In fact mum caught me colouring while Boston & Montana were sleeping and she said I was sad but I just informed her I was merely finishing my picture!! :)

Fashion Parade

Montana doing a girlie fashion parade for Nonna! We’ve got her starting young! So many cute outfits to wear and so few days in the week!

Anthony's Birthday

Anthony turned 29 today!! Wow! Only one more year left before the big 30!! Scary. I made him a card & his present was the new LCD TV we picked up a few weeks prior!! We’re all enjoying the big screen & extra channels we can now get! Boston is particularly enjoying ABC 2 for kids!! Me too! We went out for dinner at the yatch club with Berwyn, Jen, Lisa, Mum & Dad. Had a fab meal. Boston has been sick so was a bit precious & didn’t want to sit still. We were keeping an eye on him as he scaled some stairs however next minute he ducked into the kitchen!! Getting too fast! Anywayz was a really nice evening together.

Protective brother

Montana had her vaccinations today. Thankfully I had enlisted mum’s help as it hadn’t occurred to me that it might be traumatic for Boston to see Montana get her needles. Boston was due a needle too but due to having a temperature he made a lucky escape. So mum took him to the waiting room to play. Meanwhile Montana was given some oral drops which upset her & she cried. Boston hearing this from the waiting room stopped playing & indicated to Nonna that he was concerned & was Montana really alright??? Then when Montana had her needles she screamed which caused Boston to jump into action & come tearing up the corridor to her rescue!! How cute! Such a protective big brother!!

Kiss Kiss

Boston has a new trick! Kissing!! We wanted him to love his new baby sister so encouraged him to kiss her, which is very sweet.  Dribble, bickie crumbs & all. But now after he has kissed Montana everyone in the room gets a kiss on the cheek complete with sound effects!! Sometime he even gives himself a kiss on his hand for good measure!! xxx 

Bye...

Boston was watching Jamie Oliver on TV with us while he had his bottle of milk. Never to young to start his “love of cooking”!! Anwayz he was yawning so Anthony said “Do you need to go to bed?” Boston promptly hopped off the couch, walked to the doorway, turned around & said “Bye, bye” waved & went to bed!! We couldn’t believe it!

The Year That Was 2010...

Happy New Year!! This year I have decided to keep a blog in order to document what our family gets up to & keep track of Boston & Montana!! So the year that was...2010 started with us spending 3 weeks down at Busselton with friends & family!! Such a great time to relax & enjoy good company. Anthony got his dive ticket & skippers ticket. Boston & I just chillaxed, doing nothing in particular & eating well...

Time sped by & next thing we knew it was our baby boys 1st birthday (11/6/10)!! Can’t believe how quick that time went!! Boston had a great little party at our local park with wonderful friends & family!! He was totally spoilt, which resulted in a trip to ikea to buy a new toy box!!

Next was our ski trip to Mt Hotham in August with the other Walker’s, Shotter’s, Ackland’s, Norwood’s and Bernie & Talitha!! We all had such a great time! Boston loved the snow. We built a snowman & went tobboganing. Anthony was snow-boarding, which he enjoyed as did everyone else so long as they stayed out of his way!! He did have a run in with a rock in which he came out second best but other than that not too bad! I was pregnant & not being a proficient snowboarder thought it prudent to stay off the slopes! I relaxed in our amazing apartment or headed into the village to watch the others while sipping hot chocolate!! We got to do a bit of tripping around either side of our ski week including Wangaratta, Glenrowen (Ned Kelly Town), Beechworth & Melbourne. I went to see Mary Poppins the musical with Jodee & Karen which was amazing!! Then we all went to the football at the MCG to watch Geelong vs Collingwood! Sadly Collingwood won :( Boston did really well on his first plane trip & had the hostess’s wrapped around his little finger. He must of spent at least 1/2 an hour with them and then still didn’t want to come back to us!!

The day after returning from Melbourne we had Karen & Tom come for a visit followed by Uncle Graham & Aunty Dot a few days later. We went for a whirlwind trip down south including; Albany, Augusta, Busselton & the farm. It was such a great time hanging out with family & such a shame we all live so far away!

Then on November 19th the big event of the year occurred!! The much anticipated arrival of our baby girl Montana Rose Walker!!! We were so excited to have a girl & Boston thought she was pretty good too. He give her lots of cuddles & kisses. He’s a great big brother & makes sure I don’t forget her when we go out by pointing at her & making noises!! Life has changed considerably but we wouldn’t have it any other way.

So Christmas was spent with family in a very relaxed fashion which was perfect! Our Santa photo tradition started the previous year with Boston did not go as smoothly this year as our usually gregarious little boy did not what a bar of Santa!! Daddy had to be part of the photo & I had to settle for a concerned expression rather than his usual cheeky smile!! Montana was fine munching on Santa’s beard!!
