Total Bliss

I could stare at her forever...


I love the cute little fold she gets in her bottom lip after she falls asleep all milk drunk! So much love for such a small creature...she makes my heart sing!

Tool time

We had an overload of cuteness a few weeks ago. Chad is building a deck and outdoor fireplace in the backyard so Cohen is constantly wanting to 'go help dad with the tooooooools'. 

As i was changing Willa i heard him fussing around in the lounge room...i came out to find him with his gumboots on and tool box in hand waiting at the back door to be let out. I helped him down the stairs and once he go to the bottom he reached into the tool box and got an old pair of sunglasses out, put them on and ran to find Chad, yelling...'Daaaad readyyy!!'. My heart melted...such a little man at only 2!

What a boy

Silence in the house usually means that someone is up to no good. So i decided to go and investigate....

A huge smile came over my face when i found one toddler happily playing with his cars in his bed room. He is obsessed with his cars at the moment. He knows all there names and loves to line them up across the table before he shoots them off the edge. Its so funny how boys and girls seam to gravitate to the stereotypical "boys" or "girls" toys. We be no means pushed him to play with cars, blocks and tools.. we even have dolls for him to play with. However he has chosen to go down the 'boy toy' path and is almost inseparable from his cars at time. We have found his fast asleep in his bed at night holding tightly onto his favourite car of the day. Such a cutie...

What goes up must come down!

For Chad's 30th we decided to get him a sky dive voucher. After many years on promising i would get him one for his birthday (i believe i said i would for his 21st and almost every birthday there after)...he finally got the chance to jump! We headed down to Byron on the most perfect day EVER!!! The bluest of blue skies, not a cloud to be seen and not a whisper of wind. PERFECTION!

The boys made it down in one piece, looking very pleased with themselves. Lets just hope they don't make this a regular addiction!

Change time

 A moment of cuteness at change time...couldn't help but grab the camera and snap a few pics...

Absolutely smitten with her smiles and her blue eyes. She is going to have her daddy wrapped around her little finger....this is going to be fun!

Sneaky sneaky..

Trying to creep up behind me and tip his milk on me, i spotted one very suss looking toddler behind me!

This is the look he gives me once i figure out what he's up to and reach for the camera...

All smiles once he realised thats his game is up and he finishes his milk!!! Sneaky sneaky sneaky...

Bath time is so much fun

Lately it is sometimes a bit of a challenge to get Cohen out of the bath. Ever since he started swimming lessons a few months ago, he loves to practice his kicks and bubble blowing at bath time.

As much as the saturated bathroom and protesting child can annoy me. It sight of him taking to himself and his cute little 'cheeks' always puts a smile back on my face and make up for the mess i have to wipe up haha.

Giggles

I am loving all the smiles and giggles Willa is making at the moment. Each day seams like she grows more and more into her own little person. I love getting to know our newest family member!

Who wouldn't love that big gummy smile!

Birthday morning...just like Christmas

Its not half obvious that this boy loves his cars! He will play for ages lining them up and driving them around this room, the lounge or anywhere he happens to be playing. So for his second birthday we decided to get him a multi level car garage to store and also drive his cars on.

We set all his presents up in the lounge room so that when he stumbled out of bed in the morning he would have a nice surprise waiting for him. He was over the moon and wouldn't even look at the camera so i could take a photo. All eyes were on his new favourite toy!


Happy birthday my boy! We love you xo

Love

Whilst we were having family snuggles i spotted such a beautiful moment with Cohen and Chad!

Love is so simple...its moments like these that make my heart melt. I love our little family of four...life is pretty much perfect.

Seaworld for the first time!

We decided instead of a party this year we would take Cohen to Seaworld. With his love of Nemo, and of Dora (mainly Boots) we thought he'd really enjoy it. With all the craziness that has gone on over the past month it was nice to just have a day with the four of us and also give Cohen a bit of 'spotlight' time.

Loving the carousel 

So funny watching Chad squish into the plane to keep an eye on Cohen

He is a real little kid now, going on all the rides with Dad. He loved the penguins, shark bay (the underwater tank) and of course the Dora show! Guess this is the beginning of our little family of fours big days out!

Hattie Turns Two!

Cohen's BBF Harriet was the second to turn 2 our of the three musketeers (Eve, Hattie & Cohen...we had a great afternoon at the Churchman's filled with lots of crazy toddler fun. Cohen almost never left Hattie's side especially when he cake came out, helping her sing happy birthday and of course blow out her candles.

 Almost smiling for me...

 Cohen 'helping' Hattie out...guess those cheeks are good for something : )

 Beautiful Mama and her #1 girl!

Gorgeous birthday Girl!

Looking forward to another crazy, fun and chaotic year with a whole bunch of 2yr olds. They can certainly test us at time, but we wouldn't have it any other way! We are very fortunate to have such a strong network of lovely Mumas a their beautiful kidlets to play and grow with.

Eve's Party

As the second birthdays begin, we found ourselves pretty much booked up for the entire month of May! Cohen has such a great group of friends (mostly girls which i'm sure if he was older he would love), and its been such a joy to watch them grow together over the past 2 years.

Cohen found a noise maker - of course!

With the birthday girl, talking playdough

Miss Eve 

Hattie - she never smiles for me! 

 Busy at work...

Was such a fun day...Cohen suitably tuckered out. He didn't even make it to the corner of the street before passing out in the back of the car!

Just laying around

I have vowed to myself not to let Willa have 'second child syndrome' and not have as many photos of her as i do of Cohen. So i am taking any opportunity i can to take some sneaky pics. 

Hi mum...

Its nice to have some time just the two of us on the days Cohen is at daycare. He has just started 2 days a week, which is a win for all of us. He LOVES getting to play with different kids all day (plus his BFF Hattie also goes there) and Willa and I have time to get to know each other! Plus it gives me some time to run around with just one child instead to double the work and double the time with two!

I know its was just gas, but its still cute.

Stay tuned for more Willa!!!

Our Girl

On a sunny afternoon (when i should of been cleaning), the light in the lounge room was just to perfect to pass up on and take some photos of our newest family member. Just 7 weeks old, she made the perfect little model. Poor thing she is going to have to get used to the camera in her face as there will be plenty more of these to come.

Piercing blue eyes that are going to melt her Dad...this girl is going to get away with murder...we are in BIG trouble!!!
