Welcome 2013 - I wonder what grand things will happen this year?
I know, it's taken me fourteen days, but that's just how life rolls around here. Reality is, it takes a lot longer for me to sit down and write to you than the quick 2 minute Facebook or Instagram (@cinderberries) update and let's face it - I have a 12 week old and work into the wee hours of the morning.....sometimes I struggle to put two words together.
Did I say 12 weeks? Yes indeed I did, although I must say it feels like our little guy has been with us forever. We love him beyond imagination and his big Sister thinks he's rather awesome too.
You can tell by her smile.
Hansome? yes
I found a trick to photograph one fast moving 4 year old....get her to lay down, it worked a treat - and I possibly said the word 'bum' just as I took this photo (a trick I learned from our photoshoot with Sara Taylor last year). I am not ashamed, if it works roll with it - the laugh was priceless.
Mummy's can be silly too, in my book that is 150% okay.
This little guy couldn't be happier or more relaxed if he tried, and that just about makes my heart sing, and to think that this time last year we were wondering if our family would ever become that of four.
What a difference a year makes.

Cute kids! I find saying "stinky nappies" always makes my 3yo giggle and smile. Doesn't twelve weeks of waiting take an eternity, and twelve weeks do life fly by? It's sooo not fair!

Your two little poppets are just adorable. And doesn't it just melt your heart when the new addition is so unconditionally loved by the older sibling/s. I had baby number 4 a week before xmas - his 2 big sisters and big brother are just besotted with him - they can't do enough to help me. I am so proud of my family. And time does go extremely quick - in the 5 weeks since our little man has been born he has changed so much - I sometimes wish I could slow down time.

We had our 2nd little bub last year as well, on the 4th of Oct. There is an 8 year age gap between my son and daughter, a miracle i didn't think would ever happen. It's so nice having a bigger age gap as my son is such a good little helper, as your little girl would be to you. They look so happy together - very cute

I can't believe how big your daughter is! Your son is precious! You have lovely children, enjoy every moment - the good ones and the bad. My "baby" is 31 now and although he'd think I lost my mind, I'd still love to squinch his face and tickle him!

Beautiful post, and if Bum works....go for it and enjoy!!! Boogy is another good one!!

both beautiful little possums... treasure them for they are the most precious things you have... Although when they throw a wobbly or your up in the wee small hours rocking a restless baby it seems forever... I remember the smell of freshly bathed children and how I could never get enough of it... They are now both in their thirties - that time seemed only yesterday... Take care x

They grow too fast!!!
Our new granddaughter was born last week, and I know in a very short period of time she will change so much!
I can't believe my eldest granddaughter will be 8 this year!
Beautiful photos, Natalie and such gorgeous kids! I wonder if it will be another 12 weeks before we see some more? ;)
Too cute!
