Things he says...

Our boy's words are slowly but surly started to get strung together to make small sentences and with them comes some very funny statements....


Picking up a piece of ice i had thrown onto the lawn to thaw out... C: "Mum away, hide I want to eat"


Reaching up to the sky...
C:"look moon. want to play with the moon" J: "ok sure, reach up tall"...he reaches with both hands C: "oh mum its a bit high"


Diving head first under the covers while getting dressed in the morning.
J: "Cohen come out and let me dress you" C: "oh mum, brrrrr, its a bit cold"


On turning around to the sound of Willa crying...
J: "Cohen what happened?" C: "Cohen poke Aloe (His name for Willa) eye...Oh no daddy angry...Cohen sit room" (his punishment or 'time out' for doing something wrong is to sit in the middle of his room and not touch anything and come out when he wants to say sorry)...and off he walks to his room.


The joys of having a toddler...

Little Blue

Our little blue eyed girl....

These are going to be dangerous! A very useful tool in getting whatever she wants...She already has Daddy wrapped around her finger. We are going to have a pony in no time.

Everything in the mouth

We are reaching the age when everything and anything is going into the mouth and coming out covered in dribble.....

At least she will be building some serious immunity, which with a big brother in daycare, can only be a good thing...

'P' Pups

Our poor pooches have taken a serious back seat since the arrival of bambino's.

Tonka - aka 'T Truck'

Poppy - aka 'Pop Tart'

At least they have each other to chase around and cause chaos in the backyard....they are seriously inseparable!

Man stuff

Chad has been building a deck in our backyard and Cohen has been in tool heaven. He rushes to get his boots on, and stands at the stairs yelling "Help dad build!?"

He usually down more 'getting in the way, than 'helping', but still he has soooo much fun running around pointing out each of the different tools. Mini master building in the making.

Little rolls

I just love the cute little rolls and dimples babies get....

I'm sure as a teenager i'm going to hear all about how she hates the way she looks, so for now i will enjoy my healthy chubba girl.

A winters afternoon...

I love winter not only because you get to rug up in wonderful layers and toast marshmallows by the fire, but it brings the most beautiful afternoon light. Camera in hand we headed out for an afternoon in the golden sun.

Finding creepy crawly's in the long grass  

just hanging around, being 'male models' haha

 They are so much fun to watch, showing each other all there delights

Always up to no good...

'nothing to see here mum!?'

Such a little man already

The boys!

These are are too cute together, but terrible at sitting still and following orders haha

Love them to the moon and back!

Fletchers version of 'smiling'...

About as close to a smile i am going to get.

Finding treasures 

Cohen will follow Fletch wherever he goes...little shadow!

A moment of stillness...

A rare photo moment

Family love xx

Sorry for such a photo heavy post...

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!

jx

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!
