Many faces of Minna

Ok I finally found a few minutes to update the blog with some photos of Minna.

She is changing daily and it's all going too quickly! my baby is now no longer considered a newborn :( she is 3.5 months old and I'm so in love with her.

She is putting on weight really quickly now, 6.2kg of baby and she has the leg rolls to prove it! she is enjoying her sleep time which is great considering the other 2 kiddies were also good sleepers, I thought I would be punished with the 3rd baby but luckily it hasn't happened.

She loves her mummy to bits and loves to talk baby babble all the time. Her face lights up when I get close and have a little chat. Her favourite song is row row row your boat, even if she is getting cranky she will smile when I sing to her. I really don't know why because I think I sound like Fran Fine when I sing eeeek!
Fortunately I've been able to keep breastfeeding which is great, we still need to give her formula as well but it all seems to be working well, she doesn't care what she gets as long as she has a full stomach!

This photo was taken yesterday just when she woke from her afternoon nap:) 

I love this face! she is such a happy baby and I'm thinking big giggles are about to start

Checking out her mobile :)

Her hair is starting to settle down (thankfully!) 

4 Years ago today...

..... I gave birth to my son Leo. Wow it has gone by so quickly, today I had a look through some old photos of him as a baby and I remember thinking back then "I wonder what my boy will be like in a few years time" well fast forward to now and I know. My boy, he loves his family and never wants to be in trouble. He is sensitive and caring. He loves to push his older sisters buttons and he loves to be gentle with his baby sister.
I've noticed him change over the past few months, he is becoming more confident which is great and he is even trying to push some boundaries with me. But they are the joys of having a 4 year old boy. He is my little man and always will be.
I love him to the moon and back.

Opening his birthday presents

A quick game of Putt Putt over the weekend.

Leo loves his bear Mr Tickles formerly knows as Dufus (as the tag states) oh and we can't forget Luigi

With his baby sister

This one is especially for you "Poppy"

Ok so this post must be way overdue, I keep being reminded by my dear father in law that I need to add some more photos. So here they are.

First off we have a few pics of her cute little face, she is changing daily and I'm just trying to absorb my beautiful baby girl as much as I can. Sometimes my face literally hurts from smiling at her. She is simply DIVINE in every way, it never ceases to amaze me how much love you can feel for your own children.

A sneeze action shot. Hehe it makes me laugh out loud :) 

And here is a colour photo because I know my parents prefer a bit of colour :)

As for life with us, all is good, actually NO all is GREAT. Minna loves her sleep YAY!!! just like her brother and sister she loves to be in bed dreaming about her favourite things. Her record for sleep so far is 11 hours straight, yep what a good darling, she knows how to make her mum happy. As for other things she is making all sorts of baby noises, she loves to have deep long conversations. She loves listening to me sing nursery rhymes (I'm sure that will change soon, I was not blessed with a singing voice)

Thanks for checking in and don't be shy, add a comment.....

Oh and here is a macro photo I took the other day, I'm sharing it just because I can :)

2 Months old already!

The last 2 months had be jam packed with all sorts of adventures for us. Wow having 3 kids is not what I thought. In many ways it is easier than 2 but in other ways it is so much more hard work. The easier bit is that the older kids have each other to play with and are not jealous that Mummy is spending so much time with the new baby. The harder things are juggling normal duties like getting one ready for school in the morning while also trying to do a load of washing, do breakfasts, make sure teeth are cleaned and kids are dressed, Lunch is packed and baby is fed and happy! Oh and yes there is myself to attend to also. 

On with some photos.................. 

Sadly she gets that frown from me and the other 2 kids got that gene too. I swear the frown doesn't mean we are unhappy people ;-) 

Day - I have no idea............

So I need to slow this blog down a little, everyday it seems to get harder to find the time. From now on it will be when I've got the chance :) 


Minna is doing well, she is now gaining weight quickly and even has chunky thighs! she is getting more and more active and her favourite thing to so it smile and chat when she is awake.  8 weeks have gone by so quickly, she is now due for her immunisation and Leo is just about due for his too. 


On with the photos, these were taken a few days ago :) 

Oooops a bit late: Day 24; 25; 27; 28

Photos from the last few days minus Australia Day, I was too busy taking it easy at our friends parents house by the pool, water + camera don't mix. 

Day 24 - my parents came down for a couple of days to visit :)  here the kids are doing the obvious..... drawings. 

Day 25 - Someone got their hair cut!!! she wanted a fringe badly and I think it looks quite cute.

Day 27 - Yesterday I had a visit from an old mate Pete, we used to work together many years ago.  The last time we caught up Abby was only a few months old!. This photo was taken with his 50mm Sigma 1.4.(I won't be buying one :P)

Day 28 - Back to School!!!!!! it all went well considering someone was a bit nervous about which teacher she would get. She got a good one :) actually they are all great there so there was no issue.

Day - 23 My Big girl

She really loves having her photo taken, it's good for me too. I not only get to play with the camera but I get to have nice photos of her growing up. 


Oops forgot to take a photo of Scott! oh well it will happen one day.
