7/52

On the weekend Sean set Lincoln's cot up in our bedroom and he slept in there for the first time on Sunday night. Seems like it was the perfect time to move him into it, because just last night he started rolling over. Neither of us has seen him do it yet, but we would find him on his tummy sound asleep. Smartie pants!!

Last week was also the week that I finally got a double pram. I've been wanting one since before Link was born, but could not convince Sean to spend over $700 on one. I got this one from a school friend for an absolute bargain, plus it's in incredible condition because they barely ever used it. Max absolutely loves it and will happily sit up the front. Makes shopping, posting off orders and going for walks so much easier!

Over the weekend I also headed down the coast to visit my Mum. She normally comes up to my place so it's been ages since I last went down there. The boys were on their best behaviour and we had such a good time. Mum and I bought some fabric and recovered her dining room chairs while I was there. I loved the fabric she chose so much that I bought some for myself in a blue/grey. My sister and I are planning on swapping dining room tables and I want to recover the chairs before I give it to her. I'm hoping I'll have enough fabric left over to cover a few boxes as well. I'll keep you posted on how that goes :)

I hope you're all having a great week!

Max is so full of character and energy and imagination. This is him giving me his 'angry bird face'. Love him!

Lincoln is absolutely loving this play mat. We pulled it out last week and he loves to bat at the toys and kick his legs in the air. Such a joy to watch him learn and grow :).

5/52 + Our Weekend Away

Last week I misplaced my camera battery charger so I really didn't get any great snaps of my boys during the week. I did of course get plenty of them on my iPhone. Better than nothing right!?

Max - This weekend a friend of mine and I took our kids down to my Dad's place for the weekend. Max loved playing with his little friend Chloe, they had their moments, but were generally very sweet to each other.

Lincoln - Not a great photo, but I love his little smush-face sleeping on Dad's shoulder. He slept right through the night while we were on the Gold Coast, and I couldn't be prouder!

******************

 

A weekend on the Coast was just what I needed, I actually felt like I'd had a holiday! We swam, had a barbeque, relaxed out by the water and had some quality family time. Bliss :)

Max's first ride on a Jetski. I made Dad keep his speed to 6 knots, but I still found it completely terrifying

 I hope you all had a gorgeous weekend too!

Max - Oh Max, you have been an absolute handful this week. Naughty, cheeky, and pushing the boundaries left right and centre. I still love you to pieces though :)

Lincoln - Last night you slept for 8 and a half hours straight. Bliss! Back when you were 3 weeks old and screaming for hours on end in the middle of the night your Dad and I thought that a good nights sleep was a distant dream. Oh how you've changed my gorgeous boy!

{I love this photo so much because it shows how similar their eyes are. Lincoln's are getting browner and darker every day :). }

Max - absolutely loving the fishing game that I made for him (I'm slowly getting used to his newly short hair).

Lincoln - this kid loves swimming so much. Once he gets in the water he kicks his legs and paddles his arms as hard as he can. Completely cracks us up every time!

Max - My happy little man, one of the last photos of him before he had all of his hair cut off.

Lincoln - 8 weeks old and looking a lot less like a newborn every single day.

When Max was a baby I took hundreds and hundreds of photos of him. Not on the iPhone, but with my big old clunky 500D. I always had the camera with me and I love looking back at all of those photos.

I haven't been so great with the camera this time round, I tend to rely on my iphone and the ease of uploading photos to instagram.

But last week I remembered to get my camera out and take some 'proper photos' of my gorgeous boys. So when I heard (through Julia) about Che and Fidel's 52 week project I knew I needed to join in.

2 boys. 1 photo of each per week. 52 weeks.

Lincoln. 7 weeks. Smiling more. Crying less. 6.6 kilos and wearing size 00. Off the chart for height and weight. My beautiful big baby boy.

Max. 3 years. Happy. Fun. Independent. Funny face extraordinaire. Loving brother. My beautiful big boy.
