8 Months!


It seems like only yesterday I was blogging about Zara being born, and now she's 8 months old today!!

I really didn't have time today to go out and take some 'nice' photos, so these ones from my phone will have to do!

Anyway, Zara has managed to pick up some big milestones in this last month.  Yes, our little girl is now officially a crawler.  Well I use crawler in a loose term, as she is more of the army crawler, like Noah was!  

She just loves her new found independence.  Her favourite place in the house is being next to the big window in the dining room where she can see into the back garden.  She just loves looking (and being) outside.  On the other hand her freedom does come with some insecurities.  The other day she crawled all the way to our bathroom, took one look around, realised she didn't see me or the boys, freaked out and just cried until I came to the rescue! 

The other milestone is her teeth.  Yep, just a week or two ago she cut her two bottom teeth, both at the same time.  You can only just see them, so getting a photo is near impossible if you want to keep your fingers.

She is our water baby!  Zara just loves the water.  Every time she's in it she tries to drink it, although I'm pretty sure that's just a baby instinct?! However, its pretty cute to watch.

She can wave hello or goodbye!  The boys love practicing with her ~


She is slowly but surely getting more hair, not that you can tell as yet.  But I think I can safely say that she has as much hair now as she did when she was born! :)  No matter what, she's still a beauty to us!  I mean look at her.....





 PS Thank you to Nanna and Granddad for the beautiful dress!! It's mummies favourite!

Noah's Baptism

Image
It really is great to be 8!  Our handsome Noah has been looking forward to this day for over a year now.  In our church you are able to get baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints at the age of 8. We believe that Baptism is an important first step to returning back to our Heavenly Father and to be able to eventually live together forever.  (For my non LDS friends you can read more about baptism and our religion here .)  We have been planning for a few weeks some of the things he wanted and he was super excited because both his grandparents were able to visit for his special day. He was baptized on his birthday by his daddy and the given the gift of the Holy Ghost by daddy too.  We had a small gathering, but enjoyed a yummy ice cream bar afterwards, Noah's request! :) We are so proud of him.  Noah is growing up to be a fine young man, he's caring, loving, intelligent, humble, crazy (the good kind :), there is never a dull moment with him around,

It kind of snowed.....twice

Image
So my lovely little (or not so little) cutie pies were really excited to move here for one main reason...SNOW!  They had never seen or can remember seeing snow.  So after hearing that last years snow fall was a crazy amount and the schools were closed, they were super excited for this winter. (A lot more so than mummy, let me tell you!)  If there is one thing I have learned from moving here, although I do like it here, I DO NOT like cold weather!  I just cannot stay warm....but hey that's another story.  A few weeks back we did indeed get snow. This was the second time this year.  It was a very little but it pleased my children all the same!  They had fun in the snow till their fingers froze.  There was enough snow to make a snowman this time so they were happy.

2 Months

Image
I know that Mateo will be 3 months in a few days, but I haven't caught up with his 2 months as yet, so I will post that now! At 2 months, he took his first airplane ride from Hawaii to Washington (state).  He is a brilliant flyer.  He slept the whole flight!  I even had to wake him to feed just before we landed. He is loved by all his siblings so much and mummy and daddy too, of course.  I often here Zara saying "I want Teo!" repeatedly till she gets him on her lap.  The she proceeds to sing to him and kiss him continually.  It's so cute!  Although I fear he will always have 2 mothers growing up :)  Noah and Roman love their cuddle times with him too.  Noah is such a great big helper with Mateo.  I know that they are all going to be great friends as they are growing up! Mateo loves to smile at everyone and he has the biggest most beautiful smile!       Mateo loves to eat. At 7 weeks he weighed 13lbs 4oz!  Who knows what he will weigh in
