Milestones to start 2013

The best and biggest news - NO MORE NAPPIES!  We are done!! Last night Tilly went to bed without one and stayed dry.  She's been waking up with a dry nappy for about a week now.  I think she just became conscious of it and decided she didn't want nappies anymore.  So she's been asking not to wear one, and after the first couple of nights I told her if she could do a few more with dry nappies then she could stop wearing them.  And she has.  Our last baby is out of nappies, may we never have to buy them again :)

Yesterday we took the kids to the park to learn to ride their bikes.  Lani had almost got it before we left England, and they got bikes for Christmas last year, but we haven't lived anywhere suitable to take the bikes out (it's very hilly round here!) and they don't fit in the car with all of us in it too.... so yesterday I walked the kids down to the park by the beach at Stanmore Bay and Adam followed after with the bikes in the car.

Lani has now got it totally on her own and picked it up again really quickly with a little bit of coaching from Adam.

Meanwhile I took Zach round the circle bit helping him get used to the bike and pretty soon I was able to let go for small sections.  He's still pretty wobbly and can't start himself off yet, but it was cool how much he did get used to it, and quickly too.

And afterwards playing with Daddy on the big swing:
