Happy 2014

Christmas came and went in true interesting style with no power and a brand new three legged sofa. We survived with smiles on our faces and are starting 2014 with big changes, Paul is back on the road again working on projects so will be out of the country quite a bit this year. Piran is loving school and has made lots of new friends and Kate is enjoying being a big fish in a small pond at nursery!

Last year I took a picture of each of them every week which you can see all of on my personal blog - 52 Project.

This year I plan on taking a picture of the two of them together once a month so I can record how they change as well as capture their relationship at this age. I will share those pictures with you as I take them. For now here are some I took in December. Thank you Nanny Lin and Grandad John for the Spider-Man costume.

Happy 2014 everyone. We hope to see you all soon.

Nursery picture

I got the disc with Kate's nursery picture on this morning. We decided to get a disc instead of prints so if you would like a copy just let me know what size and I will get some printed for you.

Kate

It was Kate's turn to be featured talking about Christmas this week. You can see her over on Bambino Goodies.

She has also had a hair cut this week - I will try and get a picture if I can get her to stop moving!

Piran

Piran was featured on Bambino Goodies this week, talking about his favourite toys and Christmas.

Kate October 2013

I just realised how long it is since I shared a picture of Kate so here is one from last month.

Strawberry Certificate

Piran was given a certificate by the headmaster in assembly last week. He was so proud of himself!

First Day of School

Wednesday was Piran's first day of school. He had a great time and has been happy to return the rest of the week. He is very close lipped about what he does when he is there, telling us that it is a secret!

Four!

A whole month ago Piran turned 4. He had a brilliant birthday followed by a wonderful holiday in Cornwall, so it has taken me a while to get this made, but here it is at last. Piran's fourth year.

Big School

Piran had his first visit to Big School yesterday.

His verdict: Please could he go back today.

He seems so excited about the whole thing and starts officially on the 4th September. I was so proud of him yesterday, he went into the school, where he had never even been before, by himself without a look back and had a brilliant time. He didn't want to leave at all. 

Family Portrait 2013

Every year on Father's Day we try and take a picture with all 4 of us in it. This was our third year and I love the picture. Happily it stopped raining in the afternoon and we could do it in the garden.

And this was our Family Portrait 2012

  

Spot the hand me down top that Kate is wearing this year!

Kate's Second Year

It has been too long since we have managed to add any new pictures on here. I will try and update it soon but for now I just wanted to share Kate's birthday video with you all. We can't believe our baby is 2!

A trip to the park

It has been so long since I added some photos here. Piran, Kate and I went to Hampden Park in Eastbourne today. They have both had a tummy bug so they were a bit grumpy and really didn't want their photo taken much but I did get a couple of nice ones.

Happy First Birthday Kate

Kate's first steps

Please excuse the wobbly camera but I finally managed to catch a few steps!

Kate: 352 days old

Sometimes I am worried that I will forget all these little things so I thought I would write some of it down.

Kate loves...

Piran...her Daddy...shouting...Piran's toys...climbing...waving...dancing...clapping...playing boo...her monkey...wrestling with Piran...chasing Piran...cuddles.

Kate eats...

all fruit...yoghurt...cheese...more cheese...pasta...sweetcorn...bread...toast...biscuits...fried apples.

Kate will not eat...

eggs...potatoes...avocado.

Kate is...

always on the move...loud...funny...standing on her own...ready to take those first steps...

Kate can...

climb the stairs on her own...say yeah...say hiya...say boo...say mama...get up and down without holding on to something...give proper kisses.

The best thing that Kate does right now though is crawl over to you if you bend down, climb up you, give you a hug and pat you on the arm.

The many faces of Piran

Water baby

Kate had her underwater photos done at the end of last month.
