Day TWENTY-TWO 22.1.12

22.1.12

I took this today to remind me that you DO sleep and when you do (just like your sister) you look possitively divine. Your little baby perfection astounds me - Yes. Even in the middle of the night when i feel sleep is necessary and you... well... you do not.

Day TWENTY-ONE 21.1.12

21.1.12

Crazy Wild Summer Afternoon Thunderstorms. Today we had another thunderstorm in the afternoon. There was water everywhere (even in the Garage). It was similar to the storm that Indi and i had to wait to pass before Gav and Marli could come and pick us up from the hospital. There was so much water that the dog's bowl was floating across the pavers out in the back yard. Marli and Indi both slept through the massive ordeal and woke none the wiser.

Day NINETEEN 19.1.12

19.1.12

UGLY. I know. Maybe a little frightening perhaps? It's a long story about these statue(s) that have come to be affectionately known to us as the "Children of the Corn". Two statues came into our possession in early 2009 and it became one of the family's longest standing pranks to place the pair of statues at each others houses. They have had alterations and They have even been interstate on several occasions. Most recently as the McKay family left town we received an all to familiar visit on their way out of town. It wasn't until later that day (after the Community Midwife had visited - God only knows what she thought about this monstrosity on our letter box) that we noticed that the Children of the Corn had come home... temporarily anyway.

Day EIGHTEEN 18.1.12

18.1.12

I LOVE LOVE LOVE these two little cherubs. I love that there already seems to be a strong bond growing between them. I love the moment that has been captured here and the sincerest and most innocent of adoration in both of their eyes.
Marli, you are a truly nurturing soul. You are so helpful and interested in your little sister, always ensuring that you do not forget to give her kisses when you go to bed at night and always telling us to pick her up if she lies awake in her cradle.

Day SEVENTEEN 17.1.12

17.1.12

Indi sleeping peacefully in the afternoon warmth (despite the level of noise and activity that comes with the living room hardly big enough to contain your older sisters' personality). At the moment our 4-day-old lady is so chilled out. She lets us know she is hungry way before uttering a single cry. She sleeps despite being passed around the room to curious visitors several times a day. She smiles with contentment. She has the coolest fluffy black baby hair i think i have ever seen. We love you Indi Rose (how could we resist).

Day SIXTEEN 16.1.12

16.1.12

3 day old Indi has just been fed. This is her first ever milk-induced smiling picture. I just love when babies have full tummies and in their eyes all is right with the world. I have already taken to talking to Indi when she has just been fed and just closely watching her little facial expressions, stroking her silky baby hair and her soft soft skin.
