I love this age...

Luca absolutely LOVES cuddles - He will sit with us on the lounge and put his head on our chests...ask for his blankie (which is really the throw on the lounge) and start making the sound of a baby for attention...just so we hug him tighter.

As much as my husband hates the fact he does this, I know deep down he loves it too. The photo above is proof.

"He's a boy!" - "He's not a baby" - "Stop encouraging him"

I can't help it....I love wrapping him up in the blanket and as long as he still loves it...I will continue to do it.

I appreciate every moment Luca gives me when we cuddle like this...I know, in the not too distant future, he won't even want us even around.

Cherish your family every day - every moment counts.

It's been over a year since my last blog....opps!

...and boy what a ride I've been on the past 16 months.


This was a video I did for Luca's first birthday - enjoy!

Luca continues to grow and develop his amazing personality, be blows me away with how lovely he is..laughing, joking and now putting sentences together to let me know how his day was. I won't lie, there have been tough times as well...we're all learning how to cope with tantrums. But ultimately being a mum is the greatest achievement of my life.

In July of 2011, my half sister Rebecca, who was also adopted out by Debbie, found me. It was a great to meet her and we've developed a friendship which has been exceptionally easy. Like we've been sisters all along.

On other news, mum was diagnosed with Pancreatic cancer back in November 2011. Basically a few days before Luca's 2nd birthday. It's been a roller-coaster of emotions as we come to terms with our new reality - but we're remaining positive for her...I believe she will fight this with all she's got...

And as 2011 draw to a close, and I kicked it out the door...we're now approaching February 2012. WOW....where is the time going?

We're moving into our house, hopefully, in late February and we're going to start trying for another baby.

I'm excited about what could possibly happen this year....I just have to keep my head up and carry on.
