Aunty Col's 50th Birthday Celebrations

Saturday night saw us at the CBX to celebrate Coralie's 50th birthday.

Paddy got lots of cuddles - especially from Auntie Joc who is missing her grand babies.

Lots of dancing to be done - of course by the birthday girl. Mum & Dad even got in on the action

Where was Paddy when all this was happening? Asleep...finally!

It was a really great night. Thanks Mick & Kate!

They are all staying at a beautiful beach house at Moffat Beach for a week - I think Paddy and I might be spending a bit of our time there as well.

Love you Auntie Col xoxo

We went to the Ekka!

Gram and Poppy took us to the Ekka for the day. Paddy had his first train ride which was super exciting.

He spent a lot of the day with pants off in the pram.

Watching the horse events in the arena with Poppy.

Poppy got the essential dagwood dog.

It was the first time that I have actually been anywhere other than sideshow alley at the Ekka. It was a really great day.

Winter has arrived.....

Gives us a chance to wear our hats.

We are out and about a lot these days - Paddy doesn't like staying at home and much prefers to walk the streets of Maleny. He will happily spend hours wandering around though if I try and spend more than 5 minutes inside a shop he gets very unhappy. That is unless the shop is the IGA which he absolutely loves.

And the big news on the Paddy front is that he now sleeps in his own room all night. No more cot at the end of the bed means we all get good sleeps. He is a super big boy now!

Troy's 24th Birthday

We spent Troy's 24th birthday with a dinner at his house. Troy got to choose the menu - steak, sausages, mashed potato and packet Alfredo. Not a bit of green in sight - just the way he likes it.

Of course the birthday cake was Chocolate Marbled Cheesecake and Troy's favourite dessert - ice-cream and milo.

Mum & Renee were too sick with a tummy bug to join us so the boys got stuck into Rock Band. Danny on the drums was a classic - especially after a few heavy stubbies.

Paddy woke up and had cuddles with Uncle Mister to end the night.

Great night with family and lots of laughs. Happy Birthday Uncle Mister

Paddy at 4 months

He can....

Grab his feet

And fix fences with Dad.

So beautiful!

Work Wednesday

We aren't against child labour at Hawko

Playing with Uncle Mister in his office

We don't get much achieved on work Wednesday, especially when catnap Paddy only has two short sleeps of 45mins each. But at least it gets us out of the house.

Hope your day was a good one xoxo

Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See

I see the blanket my Aunt Ren made for me, looking at me.

Isn't it great. The bottom half hangs in Paddy's cot and he loves talking to it through the day. It really is a part of our every day routine.

It was inspired by cousin Amaya's favourite book and now we have a copy of our very own. We read it a lot through the day to try and keep Paddy occupied. He is starting to grab hold of the pages too.

We just want to say thank you Aunt Ren for making Paddy such a beautiful blanket xoxo
