Happy Halloween!

Like a good mother should (or so they say), I made Xander's first Halloween costume.

He was a lion. He wore lion shoes, brown top and bottom, he had a tail, a mane, and a tummy. I painted his faced (as much as I could!) to look like a lion. And when we started he was as cute as a button! Off we went to a party with the Mums and Babies.

Auntie Sal and cousin Louis came to visit

And Xander took his first steps from the rocking chair he's sat on to the trampoline. (Oct 28)
Big brother Jack has done Xander's hair.
Love to all,

Happy Brithday

I can't believe a year has past! These two are totally enamored with each other.

Here are some photos of our party at home with Christie, Jack and Grandad David.
