Your SECOND first Christmas
Mama is finally getting to Christmas with Nanny, Poppy, Aunty Emma and Uncle Scott and wee baby Josie!
I didn't capture nearly as many photos as I would have liked for your first Christmas, but I can guarantee that we have a lovely day - the sun came out for us, the food was glorious, your were spoiled with lots of Nanny and Poppy cuddles and you even got to have a nap at the beach!
 |
| You actually allowed the Santa hat to stay on your head! |
 |
| Opening your presents on Daddy's knee |
 |
| Helping Daddy open his present from you! A seat to go on his bike so you can go riding with him! |
 |
| And, of course, the wrapping paper is the best thing ever. |
 |
| Santa bum! |
 |
| Stalking your prey... notice you aren't crawling properly here? It's because you hated the feel of grass on your knees :) |
 |
| Daddy is helping you play with your new remote control car (from Nanny's friend Sue!) |
 |
| A sweaty, sweet and cozy baby, napping after a hard morning of opening presents. |
 |
| Happy to spend time with your Nanny and Poppy |
 |
| Up, up and away! |
Where are all of the photos of you and Josie? I forgot to get my camera out! It's a fine line between living in a moment and capturing it on camera... this time, the moment won!
Christmas is over for another year, but Santa will be back next year.

7 and 8 Month update
Yup. As I said in an earlier post - I'm way behind in your updates! And I still haven't told you about your christmas with Nanny and Poppy down in Jervis Bay OR Your very first NYE... It will come, I promise!
Today - your 7 and 8 month update.
Let's start with this little GEM:
Today - your 7 and 8 month update.
Let's start with this little GEM:
Wow. I've said it every week.. but this is the FUNNEST age. I can only imagine it is going to get even more fun, but lately you have been a bright, shining star in our lives. Late at night, after you've gone to bed, your daddy and I lay next to each other and recount the funny and cute things you'd done earlier in the day. We lay there laughing and rolling our eyes - you are such a character little boy.
I have no weight or height measurements at the moment - we'll be getting those on Tuesday, but here's what the last 8 weeks have looked like for you:
- You have officially got 4 teeth - bottom two (at 6 months) and top two (at 7 1/2 months). Now, when you smile, you don't really look like a little baby anymore :(
- Crawling, cruising, jumping up and down in your bed (tsk, tsk), falling backwards onto soft surfaces (your favourite - I will try to video that too!). You are a mobile little creature, and I'm still trying to find a baby gate that will withstand your determination.
- Pointing - you can point your index finger like it's your job. At Christmas Eve mass, I have you on my shoulder so you could look out behind me. I look over at Aunty Emma and she is cracking up at you - you were pointing directly into the faces of the people behind us. You point at people, at things you like the look of, at your food (it's common for you to point, poke and then grab whatever it is we are offering), at Chelsea-dog, at a Bird in the tree, at the radio... you just love to point.
- And that index finger comes in very handy when it comes to reading your favourite books - the one with textures in them. You have come to love each new page, knowing exactly where to touch to feel the different surfaces - fluffy, scratchy, rough...
- You have learned to play the kazoo...oh yes. It's all very monotone at the moment, but you play it like a boss.
- You more or less sleep through the night now. Most nights you wake up once for a quick feed, then back to bed. But then, you're up at 6 most mornings. Daddy and I take it in turns to get up with you and feed you breakfast.
- No official first words yet! I was sure you were to become the strong and silent type, but in the last few weeks you've become more vocal and your favourite things to say are "Wa-wa-wa" and "Bra-bra-bra". You also like yeeeellllll. You stand up against things and holler and hoot. It's hilarious, like you are saying "I am Hamish - hear me ROAR!"
Little boy, you are awake from your nap now and sitting on my lap trying to 'help' me type, so I'll sign off now...
I love you
I love you
I LOVE you

Christmas take one!
Your first, first christmas was on Sunday 18th December at Grandma and Granda's house. Aunty Sarah, Uncle Simon, Aunty Kate and Uncle Chris were all there too!
You were spoiled with loads of presents (and so was Mummy and Daddy), but most of all you were spoiled with kisses and hugs, which are way better (in my book).
Some pictures:

Grandma cooked a HUGE turkey and we ate all day long. The weather was pretty chilly, so we couldn't have a swim in the pool like we wanted to, but it was still a gorgeous day. Mummy didn't take nearly enough pictures!

Picking up right where we left off...
It has been a whirlwind couple of weeks baby boy, but you've kept on trucking, as is your style.
How about we just start with some cute pictures?
I have so much more to write for you...
