My Messy Monkey

Finn loves rice but I don't let him have it very often - you can see why in this picture!! He is only just starting to get the hang of a spoon as up until very recently he has preferred the hand to mouth approach to eating.

All about Mikko

Mikko will be 6 months in a couple of weeks and enjoys rolling, watching Finn, boob and cuddles with Daddy. He is such a happy baby though not a big sleeper. However the last couple of nights have not been to bad and he has slept in his own cot for up to 5 hours without needing a feed :)

Mikko looks just like his daddy (see photo) except it looks like he will have very blonde hair.

Who needs sleep???!!!???

Not Mikko that's for sure. he is a very happy chappy all day despite the fact that for the last 2 weeks he has kept me up all night wanting to feed. Thank goodness big brother sleeps happily through the grumbling :)

Finn has also been a big helper for me with the packing that is currently going on. 2 weeks till we move and our garage is already almost full of boxes!

First trip to the movies!

Yesterday I took Finn and Mikko to see Kung Fu Panda. Finn loved it and ate A LOT of popcorn (including some that had been spilt in the foyer!). Mikko watched a bit and had a sleep. I was so pleased that we managed okay and now we have another rainy day activity :)

lookee what I won! (I mean Mikko won)

My good friend Lisa had been telling me how great these bitti d'lish nappies are and then the other day I found out that I won one from http://www.motherinstinct.co.nz/ one of my fav nappy shops.

Doesn't he look cute! Now I want more....

Drama on our street

A few weeks ago Col and I woke to the sound of popping and breaking glass. When we rushed outside we found our neighbours house on fire. It was really scary but the fire crew were great. Check your smoke alarms people!!!

to blog or not to blog???

Am just figuring this blog thing out finally. But thought it would be a good way to share what me and my boys have been up to with all of you where ever you may be.

Finn and Mikko are really starting to enjoy each other's company - though I think Mikko adores his big brother a little more than Finn cares for him! Mikko's favourite time of day (aside from bathtime) is just before bed when he has a story with Daddy and Finn. Sometimes he looks like he is about to explode with happiness :)
