I had forgotten you started so small

Was just looking through older photos and found this - you look so cute - you still are adorable but you have changed so much - I know newborns and babies are heaps of work but there are some adorable things that I wouldn't want to change about a baby starting so fresh and new. I loved how at 4am this morning after a feed you snuggled your head into my chest and fell back asleep. There is such a cute baby smell and I love how warm and snuggly your head always is

Constantly on the move

At tahuna playground and him working out at home - crawling and sitting. First stood 16 March just 5 days over 5 months old. A bit wobbly on it but very determined. Little madam has dropped her afternoon sleeps almost altogether which quickly catches up with her later in the day (and us). I am loving being a mother but there are challenges but I just need to look at them and thank Heavenly Father for such beautiful and precious gifts. He is a whopper weighs 8.5 kgs - very solid thighs. As she says "baby has no hair" - he does have bit of fluff on his head. I cannot easily express the depth of my feelings for them both

funny funny faces

You are now another year older - what a wonderful 2 years - not always easy but worth it! These were taken on the way to playgroup - you decided you wanted to walk while I pushed the pram - you didn't mind posing along the way. You aren't camera shy anymore - sorry my son - I will take more of you soon and post them - we love you too - you are amazing - crawling and sitting at 5 months and you stood by yourself holding onto the couch the other day - your dad took the photo just as you fell backwards. I love seeing your toothless smile. You are keeping me up a lot at night though.

angels in disguise

I see it has been 2 months since I last bogged. What is up with that? It has been even longer since I scrapped a LO:(. What a busy fun week with you both. He is now crawling (has been for a few weeks) and sitting for a few days. I love to see them interact with each other - sometimes they laugh their heads off at each other - other times are a bit more trying when they are both crying at the same time too. Here are some pics - there have been lots in the last 2 months but here are a few - sorry son will get some of you done too. On the swing again - on 10 March, 11 in the pink long top at playgroup during music time and then the other pic was taken about a month ago - Tracy did such a beautiful job of editing it for me. Thanks so much. Will write more later - or soon

life is great

Lots of pictures I know - mainly of you taken on the swing this morning before the heat of the day. Gotta love that smile.

Happy New Year baby boy and grown up girl

I know I already posted this picture of him but my friend Tracy sent me this edited one which is 1,000 times better. Also my little girl growing up fast taken at Tahunanui beach on the same day.

Love your smile

Went for a family picnic today to Tahunanui beach - while your sister was playing on the playground I took to heart everyone saying I wasn't taking enough photos of you - I took about 15 today and this was my favourite. What a blessing you are. No wonder your Auntie Marena loves you
