Oh lamb chop, how do I love you, let me ponder the ways

We joined Angela to celebrate her birthday today, and there were lots of dress-up clothes…

Stick ’em up and hand over the cake.

Milestone cards seem to be quite popular these days, even on this blog, and it’s not surprising seen as they are cute and help to keep a record of all the traditional milestones. There are some that they missed though – the real milestones. These are the ones that every parent gets to experience, but wouldn’t necessarily make for the best photos.

• My first volcano poo (the one the spurts out the back of the nappy and up their back)
• My first projectile vomit (typically aimed at a parent)
• The first time daddy dropped me
• My first visit to the hospital (after daddy dropped me)
• My first medicine (and how I spat it out)
• My first suppository
• My first time with the nebuliser
• ….and the list goes on

Little sick guy passed out in the Ergo on a very tired mom

Pictures only tell the story of a moment, just like this one. It looks like they are playing sweetly together with the little cars, but what is really happening is that Adam is grabbing Eli’s cars, and Eli is getting worked about it. And after Eli has put them all onto the truck? Time for Adam to knock it all over.

Grace used to build block towers for Eli to knock over, I wonder how Eli is going to deal with a crawling baby messing with his stuff.

Gogo has been knit, knit, knitting for all of our children, and little Adam likes his new jersey.

And this is too cute not to put up

Getting to grips with some banana and avo can be……messy

We had an excellent day with friends celebrating Oliver’s birthday today.
