Spring has sprung, and so have the babies!

Spring is my favourite time of year.  Most likely it is due to the occurrence of my birthday, but also the appearance of blossoms and the pleasant temperatures (questionable in Melbourne) make for a lovely time of year.

Spring is also known as the time of year for babies, whether they be animals or human.  To prove the point, my Congratulations and love go out to Katherine & Andrew who gave birth to Penelope (Poppy) last week, and Lisa & Ben who also welcomed Dylan to the world (on Lisa’s birthday no less!).

Beautiful spring blossoms on our visit to the Maternal & Child Health Nurse

 

Also worth mentioning from the last week or so… the Pies won the grand final on that special last weekend of September…hmmm… make that the first weekend of October (and earned the AFL, Channel 7 and MCG a heap of extra money!).  And we had a special visit from our proud paternal grandparents from up north.

All the grandparents

 

And with regards to our own little cherry blossom, she is growing quickly (above average at 350g between visits with the nurse).  For everyone who has been asking, we still have not finalised a name, although we are very close now.

Looking all rock ‘n’ roll for the camera.  Thanks to for all from Credit Risk for the gorgeous hamper-box (including cute t-shirt and socks) and Lynn for the stripy pants!

I love this time of year actually.. the cherry blossoms.. green leaves coming out of seemingly dead wood.. colour coming back to the earth and most of all, the feeling of the sun on my face in the mornings again! Nothing screams 'new life' quite like spring does! I hope one day your little bub feels just as lucky to be born at this time of year as I do! But for now, seeing your pics, all I can say is.... AWWWWW!!! She's absolutely adorable =)

Cant wait till you announce your little lady's name. Looks like she is doing well. Such a cutie pie! Look after yourselves and enjoy the lovely spring weather with your little one.

Darwin is now stinking hot. Wet season has come early. We are all hibernating in air con rooms and pools. Gonna be a hot and sticky one this year.
