Fans of the Thor flicks were excited to…

It's been more than a year since the Weekly caught up with Tamati and Tim, so it’s lovely to see how much Tutanekai has grown. It was last January that we met their adorable baby, who's now walking and talking – and still keeping them up at night! Tamati shares his gratitude for the support of the “village” around him and explains why the first 1000 days of a child’s life are so important. Tracking his son’s milestones and taking pleasure in fatherhood is so important to Tamati, who says, “you just want to try to be a better person” – a sentiment many parents will relate to. Meanwhile, in her column on page 77, Kerre shares the joy of being a grandmother , and how wonderful it is to…
