Our little ray of sunshine


Bike rides

Your mummy loves going on bike rides, and for the first time since riding to the doctor to find out that you were growing in my tummy I went for a little ride around our new neighbourhood.

It must have been a magic bike ride because you started coming that evening!





Sing-a-longs

Your daddy loves singing to you- in all different voice and all different songs!

We think 'twinkle twinkle little star' is your favourite, and you get very excited when he sings you 'i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts'!


Baths

We have so many baths together in the new house little one. I think you like it- as you go very still when we hope in there. 

I like to sing to you in there too- I wonder if you will like bath time when you are out in the wide world?

Home is wherever I'm with you

Oh little one- we have been busy with setting up your little home!

We are so so happy here- and can't wait to bring you home to your very own room.

Your daddy has made the most beautiful life for us here.











Lullabies

Your daddy has crafted quite the repertoire of songs that he likes to sing to you little one.

We think your favourite is 'twinkle twinkle little star' because you always stop kicking and listen very carefully to that one.

Your dadda likes singing 'i've got a lovely bunch of coconuts' and 'you are my sunshine' changing the words to include you. He likes to sing in a very high voice and I like to joke that you are going to think you have two different pappas!

Your mumma likes to sing to you in the car and in the bath! Even your aunty Sarah and Emily and Gigi have sung to you.  Maybe Poppo will sing you his favourite Christmas Carol 'Jerusalem' at trissmas time!

I wonder what your favourite song will be?

Giggles

Little one, your daddy and I have been going to bed in fits of laughter talking about what you might be like and things that you might like to do.

It's the nicest way to fall asleep. Some times I think of the giggles in my tummy as rocking you to sleep.

We already love you so much.




Growing....

We are getting big little one- you do the cutest kicks. I love being with you every day.



Your house!

Little one, look what daddy did for you!

I think we are going to make lots of happy memories in this house.

We can't wait to bring you home to our own little house.

Aunty Sarah and Aunty Emily

We took you on a little trip to Canberra for Aunty Sarah and Aunty Emily's birthdays.

We got dressed up and went to the movies for Sarah's birthday party.



I even found a maternity flapper dress for us to get dressed up in.


I cant wait for you to meet your Aunties- they love you so much already.


Check out your Great Gpa's bow tie- him and your Great Gma were the last people to leave! 

Button nose

Look how much you have grown little one!

I think you look like your daddy but lots have people have said you have your mummys nose. I cant wait to pinch it every so gently.




Aunty Adventures

Your Aunty Amanda and Mel came to visit and we went on a girls trip for Mothers Day.

It was really fun and we even found a special cocktail that you and I could have.


They are so much fun- you're very lucky to have lots of people who love you and will look after you already.



Parties

I keep dreaming of parties with you little one.
I've started making some things for your first little party.
Everyone I make makes me smile because I think of you!

Bumps

You're getting bigger now little one, and I love feeling your kicks.


Everytime you kick I yell out to your daddy to come feel but as soon as he puts his hand on my belly, you stop. Hehe you're funny bubba.


Peter Pan

one of the rooms we stayed in in New Zealand had a map of the exact point your daddy asked me to marry him in London. There is a statue of Peter Pan there. We will take you there one day. I think you will like it.


Travelling bubba

Now for your third adventure- we're off to New Zealand!

It's a beautiful country although your daddy laughs because your mummy sleeps through a lot of it!

We showed you a glacier from this rickety bridge. I hope you like adventuring little one.

Pumpkin


You have been showered with love already little one and have been receiving gifts from all your extended family Aunty and Uncles!

Bebe on Board

I snuck this baby on board sign, that the hospital gave me, onto the car while your daddy was overseas working in America.

It makes me smile everytime I see it.

Little feet

We bought you your first pair of converse shoes this weekend little one.

I cant wait to see you wobble around in them : )

Sharing our news


Your daddy and I kept you as our little secret for a while. But when we knew you were safe (and you waved at us in the ultra sound!) we knew it was time to share you.


This is your Great Nanny and this is what she looked like when we phoned her to tell her the news.


Your Great Grandparents came to visit us and GGma had alread knitted you some booties! They brought me a special dress from Gigi too because my clothes are starting to get a bit tight.


And then we took you to Sydney and told all of your Craven family. It was so special and your Grandma and Aunty Alex screamed!
It was a really nice weekend, your daddy even whizzed us around the dancefloor at Anita and Warren's wedding.





One year

  One year ago your daddy and I got married at a beach house on a rainy day.


We took you to Tasmania to celebrate. I've got a bump already- Gigi thought I might have been having twins from this photo!

Poppo and Gigi


One afternoon your Poppo was visiting Melbourne and he brought a little gift along from Gigi.


It was the dress that I wore on my way home from the hospital as a newborn!

You are one very lucky little bubba to be coming into families who already love you so much! I can't wait for you to meet your Poppo and Gigi. Poppo said he is going to feed you lots of lollies- we will see about that : )



Taste buds

i noticed lots of little changes in the first few months we spent together.


but the biggest by far was the foods that I wanted to eat.

 pancakes with lemon and sugar
 spinach triangles

tiger toast!

and these were the ones that didnt make me sick!

 pikelets with jam  

lamington fingers

and lots of fruit!

Your Gigi used to make these for me when I was little. I wonder whether you will like them when you grow up!
