7 years

Today is our wedding anniversary. Cant believe its been 7 years already.






We've done a lot in that time. It definitely hasn't all been easy, but thats not what a marriage is. It takes work and commitment.

We've had a lot of great times, and not so great times. But im definitely looking forward to a lot of great times ahead and as we are growing as a family, our marriage is also changing and growing.

One of Matt's greatest qualities is his caring nature. He is always ready and willing to look after me when I am sick, in general I think he always wants to take care of me and our family, everything he does is because he wants to provide the best for us.

He is a great father, as I knew he would be, and as a husband he has been amazing over this journey of having our first child. Through my pregnancy he looked after me, drove me to work most days even though it meant going out of his way, dealt with my pregnancy cravings and freak-outs about money, labour, etc etc..(all those things that pregnant women worry about). When Cadell was born he was an incredible support for me through labour and then afterwards while I struggled with new motherhood. He can be extremely long-suffering ( all though I tell him to express when he is frustrated otherwise it all comes out at once!) and managed to suffer through a lot of hormone/sleep-deprived/pain induced behaviour over those first few weeks of Cadell's early life.

I do not probably appreciate him as much as I should, and I want to work on that during the next stages of our life together. I know with young children often the marriage can get forgotten about, and I don't want that for us. As we are wanting to grow our family in the next year or so I know we need to prioritise to make time for our relationship. I want our children to see how much their mummy and daddy love each other as well as how much we love them.

Our life is a great life, and I am looking forward to many many more years together, growing our beautiful family and whatever our little family ends up doing, I just want us to be doing whatever it is,



Together.

18 months old

Our little boy is a year and a half! Time is flying by at the moment. So far, he hasn't been saying too much, but I think he has been trying to say a few things such as 'truck' and babbling in his own lanaguage. He also says 'Yeah' when we ask him something and its something he wants! He is understanding so much now though. We can ask him questions and he definitely knows what we are saying and what he wants/doesn't want!! if we ask him 'where's your tummy/nose/mouth/etc' he will find them and point. He is running everywhere, loves kicking balls around the house + outside, although when he is outside he seems to prefer to explore, try and dig with a little shovel, and play in water! He is fascinated with spinning around at the moment, I think he likes the dizzy feeling he gets!

13 months old

Today our beautiful boy is 13 months old! I can't believe how the time is flying. I think its only going to get worse! He is changing so rapidly these days, losing his baby look and becoming a little boy. He is so close to walking. This weekend he was attempting to take some hesitant steps to me or Daddy, and standing by himself for longer. He is still apprehensive though. Tooth number 5 is almost through, and tooth number 6 is on its way also. He is still sleeping great, 12 hrs most nights, and when we are at home at least a 2 hr nap. At daycare he isnt napping well though, which makes for a very tired and cranky little boy when we collect him. No real words yet apart from 'Mumma' and 'Dada', he does a lot of pointing and 'Dat' and 'Dere' especially when we are looking for birds which he loves. Hes waving, and we are currently showing him how to blow kisses. Dada has started putting him to bed occasionally, this came out of neccessity...
