Emma's 4th birthday party

Sass and zig at Emma's 4th birthday party. Fairy-themed!

Ziggy hugs

Hey little miss ziggy, this one's for you!

It was my 35th birthday today and you are 17 months old. You have one big sleep in the middle of the day at this age and today you woke up before sass. When I brought you out to the lounge room and we sat in the late autumn sun you gave me the best birthday present - about 10 minutes of squishy, squeezy, absolutely beautiful cuddles. It was gorgeous. You are a lovely little girl. So full of character and determination already. You are very loved by us - we think you are great x

Sass says Ziggy!

Yesterday Sass tried to say Ziggy. A beautiful moment (at 15 months). Alex and I melted at that moment...

Well life with Saskia and Zara is just lovely right now.  The girls are the sweetest little poppets.  Our daily routine at the moment consists of rising at approx. 6.30, having some breakfast and a play, getting dressed and heading out for a morning play at Edinburgh Gardens.  The favourite piece of play equipment is by far the seesaw, followed closely by the slide.  The swing gets a look in too from time to time.  Then lunch, a long sleep and then out we go again if the weather is nice...often to the park, sometimes to library reading time for stories and songs.  If it is Mummy-Al Wednesday then there might be a trip to the zoo involved.  Into bed at about 7.30pm.

Saskia is very keen on using words, Zara is not as chatty but very capable and so far we have heard Mummy, Dog, Jasper (per!), Nana (for banana), cheese, shoes (favourite item and favourite word!) and many other sounds. They are both also fans of stylish hats and are both very determined to dress themselves each day.  Independent ladies!
