Reminiscing

Since Cadell's first birthday last weekend I have as most people do, been reminiscing back to Cadell's birth.

It is hard not to think about what I was doing this time last year, how small he was, how far we've come since then, the sleepless nights and worrying about how he wasn't gaining weight.

Now he is a great big heavy lump at 11kgs!

Its so easy to forget those early days as they were so hazy, with sleep deprivation and the newness of the situation.

It is amazing for me to look back at his early photos and realise the similarities, how much he still looks like he did then.

I guess before I had my own baby I kind of thought all babies looked the same, but their little personalities and own features are there right from the beginning.

He is so precious to us! Its hard to know just how much they will change your life when you are pregnant, or even when they are first born. 

He is so much fun, and always a joy to be with. I am sure when he gets into his toddlerdom we will have challenges, but I will always enjoy being with him.

Things Cadell says

I want to remember the way Cadell says things at this age, I guess the best way is to video but I haven't been getting to do that as much so I thought I'd write them down. His favorite thing at the moment is Helicopters, considering the rescue choppers fly overhead here 3+ times a day it's not surprising. The way he says it is " E - tot - ta".

3d scan pictures

At 36 weeks we got a 3d/4d scan done, it was amazing to see the detail!

Today

I wish it didn't feel so difficult to update this regularly.  I feel like  I have missed all these opportunities to record little things that I will want to remember when I am older. I have to say though it is much easier and quicker to type than to write with pen and paper, I guess thats cos Im a lefty. Liam has done a few nights in a row now of sleeping 12-13 hours straight, he goes back and forth with the sleeping but hoping this is it and he has finally settled into a routine. Cadell is talking so much more these days, will attempt almost any word and comes out with things that we think 'where did he get that from?' They have very good listening despite me feeling as though he never listens to me especially when i say No!! Liam is waking up now from his nap. Here are a few photos
