Just Because....

This post is a 'photo-free' post....just because I feel like it!

Four and a half months have past since Lachlan was born. As you can tell by this blog, he is the most precious thing we have ever done and the most precious thing we have on this earth. He fills up our lives completely.

Last night we were talking about how we really did not know having a baby would be this great. Someone said to me the other day 'Just wait until he is 2' - and yes, I know there will be heaps of challenges ahead of us, I know sometimes it hurts to love this much. There is a quote that says 'Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body' How true.....

But we would not change our lives right now for anything. This 'season' of our lives is a huge change for us, and we are loving the newness, unpredictability and beauty that it is bringing.

Life and Times of Lachlan John

Lachlan goes to the shop in the Lachlan Mobile! Thanks cousin Nicholas for the hand-down-hat! It fits just snug!

Lachlan has learnt that there are options to sucking his hands....now he's desperately trying to suck his feet.....but first he's got to get the socks off!

Sunday Morning at Grandad and Grandmas

Proud parents to say the least! Our son is just so adorable....what a BLESSING!

Grandma and Lachlan in the garden. Grandma made Lachlan this wonderful little suit...complete with all the old time "smocking".


Lachlan's cousins Hannah and Sarah spoil him so much! He especially loves smiling at Hannah.


I ain't proud! I just cant wait until we can do some stuff together.

Introducing Lachlan to grandma's garden....I am sure he'll have a few jobs around the garden to do when he's old enough to push a broom.

Lachlan at 4 months. He smiles continually....from the minute he wakes up, right until he goes to bed. In fact....he gets extra giggly when he's tired. Although those giggles quickly turn to cries...it's funny.
