Estelle Miette. 4 months old. Last January she was growing in my womb. Next January she will likely be standing and talking. Today in this sweet in-between, she is my baby. My last adorable baby. It’s been 140 nights since her birth and she’s slept in my arms for every single one of them. 140 nights I treasure. The...

We went back to the beach again today. We all wanted a repeat of yesterday’s fun. I’ve had two days in a row of swimming & playing mermaids with my fun daughters. Yes, we played mermaids & it reminded me how much fun it was to be a kid. I took this photo after some swimming,...

… and so we’ll tell her she was 4 months old when she had her first dip in the ocean.

Anouk. 7 years & 8 months old. Loves to tell jokes. Has a great memory. Had a brilliant report card at the end of grade one. Loves to read books, especially if they are funny. Leaves folded up pieces of paper in every room & writes ‘do not throw me out’ on all of them....

Now at 4 months she only stays on her back for the shortest time before commencing the inevitable roll onto her belly. It doesn’t matter how many children you’ve watched go through development milestones,...

It’s true what they say. Girls just wanna have fun.

She started piano lessons last year. She’s fairly reluctant to do the weekly piano homework in her book, she does however sit at the piano at least once a day and just play. She can play 15 tunes, plus the Lady Gaga song she taught herself by ear. Then there are the tunes she creates, which is...

She arrived here 4 months ago. We’ve watched her go from sleepy and inward focused to bright eyed and outward focused. She wants to touch everything. She grabbed a bag of chips right out of my hands today. She’s curious about the world and the people around her. She tried to crawl towards a plate...

Our traditional ‘1st of January’ photo to launch my January Photo-a-day project for 2017. Last year I told Ava & Anouk that next year it would be a photo of three, rather than just the two of them and although we couldn’t imagine that there would be another person in our family, we all felt...
