A first "big hurt"

Harry had a fall at Kindy this morning. Poor little boy ended up with a massive egg on his head.  It looks worse than it is, he was fine and running around again ten minutes later.

He was actually quite proud of his wound, he ran straight up to me saying "look look" holding his hair back with a big smile on his face???  Poor little man xx

Princess Holly

 Since I have hurt my back, I have been trying to lay down for a few hours each day. Thanks to a team of Grandparents, Nannies and babysitters, the kids have been well occupied! Holly and Briony made this princess crown today!

And this morning, Holly decided to take matters into her own hands and "fix" me herself!

Another party to celebrate Two!

 We  had another little party on Tuesday - a handful of Harry's friends came over for cake and a game.

 Harry is so funny, he loves to blow out the candles, however he hasn't worked out how to blow straight, instead he blows up - to his hair!

 Thanks for making the cake Grandma!

 We had a not so successful game of pass the parcel (unlike the one on the weekend?)  This was pretty much the theme of the game, no one wanted to let go of the parcel! 

 It was pretty much the theme of the game! This is Harry's friend Lucas.

Harry and I made Hummus yesterday - and then he devoured the majority of it with a bowl of carrots and a spoon!

A beautiful two

Our little Harry is now Two! Where has the time gone!! He is such a beautiful little child in every way possible.  Just so we don't forget, here is what he is up too;

• Harry loves to snuggle, he is always full of kisses and cuddles for everyone. If he kisses one person in a group, he will usually equal it up, by going around and giving everyone a kiss so they don't feel left out.
• He is very soft natured, although a boy, through and through, he is very gentle by nature.
• He is an amazing communicator - his range of words is not massive but he can completely let anyone know what he wants or needs and can follow just about any instructions,
• He has a great memory.
• He just about always uses manners saying Ta or thank you when you give him something
• He is full of charisma - just like his Daddy, Harry is one of those kids that people just gravitate towards
• He is generally always happy, always smiling.
• He still loves to play pretend cooking and dress ups, much more than cars typical "boy" things.
• He loves to join in with what ever Holly is doing
• He is so easy going and quite content to play on his own and wander around, never getting worried if your not in sight.
• He love love loves his books and we read at least 5 a day
• He loves to sit in the kitchen with us and help us cook.
• He will eat most things still, but has a sweet tooth
• He has all his teeth bar his molars.
• He loves to play outside and at the park
• He loves animals, we often go to chesterfield farm and he will sit and play with the bunnies for ages
• Harry's favourite thing is when I take him to the train station and we wait for a train to come! He love the anticipation of the trains coming then the bells going and then waving at the train as it goes by.
• Harry is just a gorgeous child, and from what I can imagine, just like Andrew when he was little - liked by all and very affectionate - he is independent and easy going and everything you could ask for in a son. He is a beautiful Two.

Harry's turns 2!

 Opening his presents on Sunday morning. 

Harry was very lucky to have Nanny and Pa here and GG, to help celebrate his special day.

Thank  you to everyone for all his gorgeous presents xx

A game of pass the parcel when all the cousins arrived - yes these are JUST cousins!!

 Harry took charge and cute the cake himself - he did a great job too!

 Last week, I got out the trusty womans weekly kids cake books and Harry and I had a flick through them.  As soon as he got the the page witht he Teddy Bear on it, his eyes lit up, he was so excited he yelled "TEDDY"!!! So a teddy cake it was.  Daddy whipped up this gorgeous teddy cake for his family party.

 It was a rainy morning here this morning, We all stayed in our jammies until lunch time!

Then we broke into the craft that Daddy bought home yesterday from Eddies (our favourite shop in Queenscliff, and Daddy found another one yesterday in Geelong!)

The cutest little puppy in the world!

 Harry's love of dress ups us is still strong!  He love to play with hats and costumes and will let you dress him up in practically anything!  This one was his own creation though!

A weekend with the Vicos

 Aunty Pol, Uncle Filipo and Marley came to visit last weekend, we had such a good time hanging out. It was just a shame that Mamma wasn't in beter form! She has hurt her back and not much good to anyone at the moment!

Lunch at Rochford Estate Winery

After the miniature railway on Sunday - we headed out to the Yarra Valley. We had a nice long lunch at Rochford Estate.  The company was lovely, the setting was beautiful, the wine was apparently gorgeous, however the food and service was dismal - very disappointing. Not a winery I would recommend eating at.

Harry on the other hand absolutely devoured his desert, I'm not sure how much he ate, but he rubbed a fair wack of it into his neck and face!!!
