Happy 3rd Birthday Molly

Three years ago today our beautiful baby girl Molly was born at 12.37am by emergency caesarean section. She weighed just 2.545kg (5lb 10 oz) and was 48.5 cm long.

Just look at the beautiful young girl she has grown into! Where did that time go?

We love you Molly and we are so very proud of you.

Happy Birthday from Mummy, Daddy and Max
XOXOXO

Nice Photo of Max You Say??

Take another look!

This is Molly in April 2005!

The Junies

For those who don't know the Junies are the children of my online mothers group. They were all due to be born in June 2004 but their birthdays fall in May, June and July. Most of the mums have been friends since we were all pregnant, while others joined us after the kids were born. We have become great friends over the past 3 and a half years.

This week Danielle, one of our interstate members came to visit us with her Junie, Alexandra and little brother Lachlan. It was a great excuse to get the whole gang together. We almost pulled it off too except Jamie took ill and couldn't join us.

Since it is June we had a birthday cake for the kids to share. Here are a few photos of the kids having a great time at Yvette's house, the ultimate kid friendly venue!

The Day We Saw Dorothy

Last weekend we went to the Parents Childrens and Babies Expo so Molly could see Dorothy the Dinosaur.
Here is the big girl in all her glory.

Molly was a little overwhelmed and was just warming up as Dorothy sang her last song.

Afterwards we enjoyed the great playground and fountain at Homebush Bay.

A great day of fun, free entertainment.

Out and About with M&M

As M&M get older the pram becomes a less enjoyable way to get around our little suburb. Sitting back and taking in the scenery is losing its appeal. Here is the latest attempt to keep everyone amused while walking to the shop.

So far, so good.

Why We Love Maccas

One of our favourite family outings these days is to head to Maccas for lunch or just an afternoon coffee. The reason is not the food or the coffee but the playground. M&M have a ball there and always strike up friendships with other kids. Max has now really started to explore the space and he likes what he finds.

Rides and Tantrums

Max has taken quite a fancy to shopping centre rides. Unlike his big sister he is never content when the ride comes to an end and it is time to say goodbye. It is then that he shows us just how determined he is. I look to the future with a degree of trepidation!

2nd Haircut

Despite being almost 3 Molly had her 2nd ever hair cut just recently. It took a little encouragement to get her in the chair, or rather Mummy's lap (note the little pink dog) but she impressed everyone with her ability to sit still.

Tough Day

Sometimes playing all day can really take it out of you.
This was one of those moments when things go very quiet and you need to investigate.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAX

Sorry for the month long hiatus everyone! Now prepare for a blogging onslaught as I share a months worth of photos and memories with you all.

Max's first birthday was on 11th May. Almost a month later I am still having trouble accepting that my baby boy is ONE!

We spent the morning at a playcentre where we met up with Kris and her gorgeous girls. Eliza took her first steps while we were there! Molly and Sophie got to spend some quality time together giving the slide a good workout and Max had a ball exploring the place. Here are a few photos.

Our gorgeous boy!

Next stop was Nanny's house for cake and a present.

Opening his present

A very happy boy

After a big day we headed home where Max finally got to try out his main present, a new car! It was all a bit too much in the end. Rest assured he really does love his car and even makes the broooom brooom noises to go along with it.

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!
