Cosmo Adams

Cosi experienced his first music festival recently, when we trotted on down to Port Fairy for a day of the folk festival.

We caught up with some cousins and other bods we bumped into along the way. Check out the shots below for the 3 year old mosh pit for one of the acts we saw.

For all the music on offer, the highlight was definitely the jumping castle. It was Cosmo’s first time on a jumping castle, where he really got into it. Even being bowled over by a big girl did not dissuade him.

Mieke has some recent pics of fun times at home.

A very excited Cosi received a brand new camera as a birthday present from Nanna B and Nanna R. Please prepare to be bombarded with fascinating images from the view of a three year old.

There are some really great shots.

Apparently believing winter to be a time for hibernation, Cosmo surprised us all by embracing the idea of daytime naps and night-time snoozing… sometimes. We still enjoyed many awake hours together of course, in which he amazed me with his developing skills in rolling, sitting, teeth-growing, babbling, ‘reading’ and toy-playing, and I probably bored him senseless with my limited repertoire of nursery rhymes.

Winter was also an exciting time as Cosmo acquired another three cousins, Jordan, Reuben and Sia. Seeing Cosmo beside these babies made me realise just how big he has grown. He has been busy teaching life’s important lessons to the cousins, and can report that Reuben is a star pupil, while Sia needs to pay more attention, instead of sleeping all the time.

As we moved into spring, I began to wonder whether Cosmo was the first seven month old to have mastered the art of flirtation. I have noticed that he has a particular penchant for shop assistants and waitresses. I’ve watched as he has stared them down, apparently willing them to notice him so he can smile and be talked to. At what age will he learn that his smile and blue eyes won’t be able to get him anything he wants?

What do two overtired parents do while their newborn baby sleeps in the next room? Watch video of him giggling and playing of course.

Cosi is 17 weeks old today and four months old tomorrow – it feels like I have been losing various items (read unable to remember where I left them) for much longer than that. Anyone seen my glasses?

Some more pics up at the gallery. Since the last post, we have been on many outings (inc. the beach!) and welcomed various visitors.

Cosi is getting into sleeping, which has been a welcome event in our house. We try to remind ourselves regularly what it was like just weeks and months ago, how the incremental steps Cosi makes in his actions and behaviour, are actually quite significant when placed in the big picture.

I think it must be bedtime…
