Defiant First Birthday Celebration
Defiant Development is Morgan & Dan's games company. We had their 1st birthday on Sunday afternoon, which was great fun for everyone. Gully was a super-star. What good times.

One of the first Simian awards at Defiant Development 2011. The finest home-made trophies from cork, pipe-cleaners, toothpicks, red felt and foam that money can't buy. Perhaps I am a craft-mum after all?

Boy and his cat
Gully had his vaccinations and was pretty quiet on Thursday. Luckily our pusscat Endymion was on hand to help with extra snuggles.

Gullys first opera
When I grew up there was always a piano in the house. We don't have enough room for a piano in our apartment, but we are able to hire a keyboard so that Gully has something really fun to interact with. The Casio is so much more interesting than baby toys! We just have to keep the drool out of the keys. ;)
Every day Gully tries out new things on the keyboard. I wish I could video each time he does something remarkable. For example, this morning he was pressing a single note repeatedly with such careful deliberation, it was hard not to think he would start playing a song. He often changes the rhythms and instruments as he plonks away. Anyway, this video's especially for Grandma-GXC, who brought music into my brother and my lives from the beginning.

Serious bizness
Poor little tacker has a cold and is teething. Still makes us laugh though! Also, look at those curls! More curly-haired pictures to come.
How things work
Gully likes toys alright, but what really excites him is getting behind, beneath and into things and figuring out how they work... not like his papa at all! ;)

Toast
What's even cuter about this photo is that it was taken soon after Gully and I were lying down together and he was feeding me buttery toast and giggling. One of my favourite moments of being a parent so far.

Fishing
Today we visited "The Corner" at the Queensland State Library. It's a kid section that is thematically linked to the library's exhibitions. Today the theme was Torres Strait Islanders. So, lots of fish!
What's this? A catchy-meshy-thing-on-a-stick?
Hmmm, I guess I'll see what I can catch...
...Oooh, something's pulling pretty hard.
Easy, easy.
Ahhh, a mighty chewing fish!

New skills
Kuala Lumpur tiger is fast becoming Gully's comfort toy. Also, washing baskets are barrels of fun!
Rolling is now the order of the day: Front to side, back to side, side to front, side to back. Gully's also rotating around and quasi-crawling backwards.
Concentrating on a new elephant/monkey train toy
Serious business! We must be teething based on that drool.
Gully was 74cm long and 10.2kg at today's 6 month check up at child health both >98th percentile. But, his head circumference is at the 50th percentile.
