Autumn baby

From beaches of sunshine to autumn leaves. Returning to Melbourne was a rude shock because when we arrived last Saturday, it was wet, cold and grey. But yesterday's lovely, warm, sunny weather – and the fact it was a public holiday – drew us out of the house and into the sunshine at Abbotsford Convent.

As you can see, Jamie had a great time playing in the autumn leaves that carpeted the lawn outside 'Lentil As Anything' cafe. I can hardly believe that my little baby is turning 1 next week! (On Wednesday!) It seemed only last month that I announced his birth on this blog. How time flies!

He's growing strong, crawling fast, and starting to stand up (tentatively) on his own legs without holding on – if only briefly. And, as you can see, he's also turning out to be a bit of an escape artist!
