Samuel - Happy as a clam, in a Samuel-sized seat on Grandpa and Grandma's front porch.

We enjoyed a beautiful week filled with family for Christmas. We went for swims, ate loads of food and had heaps of down time. Exactly as Christmas should be.

Linking up with Jodi's 52 project. Last one for the year, but we'll be continuing next year as I'm loving watching him grow from week to week!

Samuel - caught mummy spying while he was busily chatting to his little buddy in the mirror!

This week has been hot, hot, hot and this little man had his first swim in a backyard swimming pool. He was quite the water-baby, happily swooshing around in the water without a care in the world. 
Samuel has been chewing on anything that he can fit in his mouth; there's no teeth yet, but I think they may be here soon. He also had his immunisations this week, and I'm so thankful that we don't have any more for another 6 months.

Samuel - eyes always looking for Daddy

Andrew and I had our first date night in forever this week while Samuel happily slept at home in bed (while Aunty Hayley babysat) so happily in fact that he slept for a full NINE HOURS! Super excited mumma over here!

Finders Keepers


My dear friend Mandy took us into the city on Saturday to finally experience the fabulous Finders Keepers markets. Samuel was on his best behaviour, so we got to have a couple of hours to browse the delightful stalls and enjoy the atmosphere. We left with a delicious snack of sweet potato crisps with some sort of basil dressing and a couple of goodies for Sam, and boy was it a fun way to spend our morning. I can't wait for the next one!

Samuel - happily blending in with the cool kids at the Sydney Finders keepers market

It's been a busy week for Samuel and I; we've had loads of trips out and about, getting ready for Christmas, whisking up to Newcastle and hanging out at the Finders Keepers Market. But my favourite of all was listening to a sweet little voice saying "mmmmummmmummmummmummummm...' even if it started at 4am.

Samuel - peek-a-boo!

There have been many sleepless nights this week as well as noisy mornings as Samuel has been testing out his voice. As tired as I am from the little sleep, I can't help but smile as he tests how loud he can yell at 4am. I know I've said it before, but he really is the greatest joy in my life.
