Ditching the dummy!

Well this is a bit of a ramble.... kind of like the rest of my blog really, but we have made the tough decision to ban the dummy! Yep, that little bit of plastic that was oh so sweet and bought us some lovely sleeps turned evil and deteriorated our little girls sleep so much that we have had to reverse the affects before she gets so far dependant on it. So far it has been pretty pain free - for us and her! One night of some grizzling and lots of cuddles, and today we hit the jackpot with a nap with NO grizzles or whimpers.

We have our great sleeper back! What a little champ! Let's just hope that this little man turns out to be the contented little bub that his big sister is!

Our woodland fairy.....

I love bubbles mummy!!!
Cutie!

We went to Xavier's First birthday party today and Isabelle was all dressed up and ready to party! She had a ball playing with all the toys, kids, bubbles and drew her first picture!

Ramblings of a mummy.....

In light of recent news events etc.... I have come to appreciate my family even more so and have realised what an absolute privilege it is to be a parent. The news recently has affected me in so many ways and my heart breaks for those children who don't hear their own laughter or their parents joy and laughter and feel any love from their parents.

I have loved every stage of Isabelle's life. From tiny baby with flailing arms and dinosaur croaky voice who fed every 2 hours, to a 3 mth old roly poly smiley happy bub, to 6mth old crawling bubby to the 13 mth old toddler who explores everything and anything with such joy and perserverence. I love you my baby girl and I love you my little boy who is already such a huge part of our lives. You are both my life and I adore you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISABELLE!!

I love my Dora couch!!!
Mummy made my cake!!

We just can't believe our baby girl has turned ONE!!!! Isabelle, it has been so amazing to see you grow, learn and have so much fun over the last year! You are our absolute joy and blessing my sweetheart and we wish you a very HAPPY FIRST BIRTHDAY!

Isabelle had a party for her birthday and was completely spoiled! She had an absolute ball playing with all her little and big friends and loved her fairy cake that mummy made!!

We also had a brief dedication service for Isabelle, that her uncle Anthony organised which was great. Overall it was a lovely day and one that we will all remember for a long time!!

My First Mothers Day!

My first mothers day was great, just to be able to spend time with my gorgeous family!

We went to the Cranbourne Royal Botanical Gardens with Isabelle's nana and pa, and with her uncle Ben as well. She has loved being able to hang out with him recently while he was in Melbourne.

IT'S A BOY!!!!

It's a BOY!!! It's a BOY!! Whoo hoo!

We are very excited that Isabelle's new sibling is happy and healthy and growing so beautifully but also that he is a healthy little boy!!

Enjoy the pics of our spunky little man!

We had a sad day today. Isabelle's Great-Grandfather, Ron passed away after a long illness. We will miss him very much.
