It is all happening!!!

I need to get photos of all that is happening, but for now I will just say to Francesco's fans that he has his 1st tooth, sitting on his own, standing while holding onto something and practically crawling all within the last 2 weeks!!! I need get the house baby-proofed!!!

It is harsh living down here in winter

My favourite mums
Me, Amanda, Kate, Victoria and Ana
We are not totally free, we just pushed the prams off to the side ;o))

We have all not taken a photograph together in a very long time, maybe since we were pregnant. I have known these beautiful women since we were all 5 months pregnant and now we all have 7 month old bubs. It feels as if we have achieved and lived so much in such a short period of time together. We are fortunate to be able to spend at least 1 or 2 days a week with one another...sometimes more. Our babies have become very fond of one another and my first months of motherhood are so much more for having these wonderful women in my life. Without my family at this important time in my life, I feel blessed to have the next best thing, Amanda, Victoria, Kate and Ana xoxoxoxoxo

Wow, it is such a cold winters day ;o)))

Mums and behinds

Beautiful bubs

Ana and I decided to kidnap Victoria's girl, Ava, while she was at the hairdresser. Francesco was very happy to share his pram.

In the last month

Ros and Craig gave birth to a long and beautiful girl on the 29th of April...well Ros did all the work ;o)!
Welcome Emily Louise!!!

Cousin Bates and his beautiful daughter, Jasmine

Going out for his usual walk with Papa. He is quite the wiggle worm except when he is in his Papa's pouch. Here in Australia even the humans are marsupials ;o)))

He always 'crawls' to this speaker, more like rolling and army crawling, but he gets there. There is a Sargent Peppers album cover here that he always stares at...good taste already

Happy 6 months Francesco!!!

Rosetta, Francesco and Bates.
Bates always being silly to make Francesco laugh.

Well he is 7 months now, but here is his 6 month party. Family from Melbourne were in Adelaide to celebrate with us. We had a wonderful dinner cooked by Rosetta, a cake, music and dancing...what more could you ask for for a 6 month celebration!

Francesco, Lina, Bates and lovely little Jasmine

Dancing to Raffi!
...Ring, ring, ring, banana phone...

Happy 6 months lovely boy
