Happy Birthday Finn!

Our nephew Finn turned 2 on Sunday. Saturday afternoon we went to his birthday party. My sis-in-law made a fantastic cake and we had a really lovely afternoon at their house :)

think I'll have some more, thanks!
Finn is so sweet, he just sat down of his
own accord to have a chat to Emma :)

A sweet kiss for cousin Emma

(actually this is a bit of a favourite pasttime for him, we'll see how

it goes when his baby brother or sister arrives in September!)

"Eeeee, I'm wearing daddy's hat!!!"

Cute outfits

We have received so many gorgeous outfits for Emma from so many people it's really a huge blessing. I think I've bought her maybe three things since she was born!
This one from great uncle Les and great aunty Marlene - Thank you!

Little fingers and little nails

So babies have really, really, really, reeeeally small hands...and hence, small fingernails. I've sat with Emma in the past, nail scissors in hand and ready to cut, but could never gain the courage to do so, so I'd resort to biting (I know it's terrible!) or just tearing - sounds painful, but they're so soft it doesn't phase her. The other day I finally got the courage to cut, it was easier than I thought due to the fact that we're getting scratches on our faces from Emma!

I figured that being outside would be a good distraction for her

Happy that the ordeal is over with no fuss!
(except for the camera...and loads of attention from mum and dad)
