Archie’s growing so fast. It’s kinda killing me inside just how quickly he’s changed from a newborn baby to a baby baby! Archie’s a bit tall and so while he’s a healthy ...
Tomorrow Mum takes her little range of handmade childrens clothing to the Mummy Tree Markets at Morningside. Needless to say, today it’s all hands on deck. Well, most hands anyway… Archie...
Have you ever really felt a baby fall asleep in your arms? With every little breath out their body gets heavier and heavier. A little head squishing even more into the crook of your arm. This might s...
At our wedding, our young cousins read the story “A Lovely Love Story” by Edward Monkton and so at our non-baby-shower baby shower, one of my best friends gave “Lentil” a hand...
This little man is starting to get vocal. And, he tells us quick smart when he wants to be up and watching the world, which is pretty much all of the time. Don’t tell Loc, but I’m not sur...
Archie loves to play. But he’s still a very serious fellow…
In Archie’s nursery hang three pictures we made for him before he was born. Loc and I really enjoy spending time on little creative endeavours, and I can’t wait for Archie to grow up play...
Loc says I spend too much time on Facebook. And it’s probably true. But I have to say this new stay-at-home-mum gig can sometime leave me craving a bit of adult interaction during the long days...
It doesn’t happen all that often that the three of us get out of the house for some relaxing and ‘just because’ activity. It seems that our weekends together too easily become days ...
Dad: So Archie are you enjoying life outside of your mother’s uterus? Archie: I sure am. I do miss the serenity of the womb sometimes. Dad: Really? You think a womb is serene? Isn’t it re...
I’ve been a busy bee. 99% of my busy time has been with Archie. No surprises there, right? However, in addition to that I’ve been asked to join a super exciting, and super excellent blogg...
Yes, sleep reading. I am reading about sleep in a state of extreme sleepiness. I’ve spent the greater part of three months cuddling my little Archie while he slept on my chest. While I’ve...
Today I am learning how to really tell stories. My instructor? Archie the chatterbox. When I interrupted my lesson to take a photo, I was to be quickly reminded that storytelling is a very serious bu...
If Loc had prepared a post for today I’m sure the content would have brought a whole new meaning to “We Get Tired”. Neither of us have prepared anything for the blog this week, and ...
Sometimes you just have to find a way to get things done.
I kissed the Sphinx. On the chin, of course. Because I’m short.
Maternal instinct is a pretty phenomenal thing. I wouldn’t have ever really believed it until I experienced it. I must say, however, that it took me quite a number of weeks to realise that I h...
This kid is expressive, and until he began to smile the most exercise his facial muscles got was when he was on the change table pushing out a poo. Let’s be honest, we all know how difficult th...
We all have expectations. When we go to the movies, driving through MacDonald’s, purchasing a car, meeting someone for the first time and believe it or not, when you have children. I cat...
There we are! Loc and I had our first baby-free ‘date night’ a few weeks ago. My Mum came over to look after Archie and gave us a free movie ticket that she hadn’t used. We went to...
Once upon a time we were sitting on a hill at the top of Taquile Island. Eating freshly grilled fish we gazed out over the crystal blue waters of Lake Titicaca. This day made the previous nigh...
Is Archie too young to have his own archives? I feel like he’s changed so very much in the last eleven weeks that he already has previous stories that are a distinct part of his history...
Oh, how different it feels to write a Humdinger post again! It’s been almost twelve months since I wrote the last post about our wedding details. Getting back into Humdinger posts is a great m...
We have been super lucky that people have passed on a lot of boys baby clothes to us. We even ended up with three pairs of Pumpkin Patch overalls, and for some reason a little part of me always hesi...
It’s been a while since I last jumped on the good old trampoline. I did it on the weekend and I had the kind of fun that means you can’t stop your mouth from smiling. That must be ...
Once upon a time, Archie was just eight days old… I love how at peace Archie is when he’s asleep. I love the little tent-shaped mouth of a baby’s slumber. Looking at these photos y...
We love baby-wearing. I love my carrier. Loc loves his sling. And, yes, we have one each! I’ve written before about how much of a cuddle monkey Archie is. He is most happy, mos...
Our Easter Sunday…
As a first time parent it’s so hard to know that you’re doing the right thing by your newborn baby. For what seems like an eternity their only means of communication is to cry. For us ad...
