Cherub chatter:
Oh! my! do my little cherubs love to chatter with each other. Some days it seems to go non stop!
When I take the time to stop and sit down to listen to them it just amazes me the amount of different topics they can cover in such a short time.
This week we have had conversations about rain, thunder, babies, poo, presents, Santa, swimming, chickens, Handy Manny, caterpillars, best friends, castles, Lazy Town, teeth, Tashi and lollies to name a few.
I love the facial expressions, the vocal expressions and hand expressions that go with these conversations. It is fascinating to watch and a blessing to listen to.
Cake:
One of the great things about having a large family is that I get to eat lots of cake!
For six months in a row I get to create and bake cakes and enjoy the delight of eating them.
I get to treasure the beaming smiles, the chubby cherub cheeks as they blow them out and the twinkle in their eyes as they stare at the candles alight on their cake.
I mean seriously! just look at that happy face!
Ahhh! the wonder of it all!
Just so you know this is my chubby half of the year...
"Chubby half of the year" - that's gold!!
ReplyDeleteSo is the look on Liberty's face. She is so beautiful, Naomi (but don't tell her that!!). Happy birthday to you both!! x
I don't think you're alone in having this as your chubby half of the year, although with all of those birthdays you do have some extra sugary challenges!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you have a lovely weekend and the first week of the holidays is looking fabulous!

ReplyDeleteI love the expression on your daughter's face and that cute Tinkerbell cake. What special memories you have.
ReplyDeleteI love the topic of conversation.... I listen to my two chatter away sadly these days most of what I hear I'm normally saying after...Excuses please don't speak to each other like that .....

I love these photos. You really have captured how cherub-like they really are! Happy birthday to your little one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics, beautiful cake, beautiful girl. I love little kid chatter too - particularly when they're talking to each other, and not to me. Mr3 just never stops.
ReplyDeleteYou have some seriously gorgeous children. Your sweetheart clearly had a very happy birthday. I'm looking forward to a holiday of (mostly) happy chatter here as well.
ReplyDeleteLove Maxabella’s linky idea. Have a wonderful weekend.
Oh I am loving the new banner on your website! Too cute. You daughter looks so pleased with her Tinkerbell cake, and I can see why.
ReplyDeleteWhat's not to love?? xx Gorgeous photos. I adore that chatter and those hand movements and facial gestures too, even in children who are not my own. I did kindy duty this week and was almost a puddle on the floor by the end, I was so mushy with all the gorgeousness going on! ;)
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I LOVE your new header. So cute. I laughed out loud when I saw all your cherubs lined up with beards! And secondly, I'm loving any excuse to eat lots of cake. The chubby half of the year. Must take the other half to get rid of it???? Happy grateful day. You have so many reasons to be grateful. xx
ReplyDeleteI am popping over to see you, Naomi. I am minding MultipleMum's twins tonight (sleepover), so we have five under six... and I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you AND admiring you even more than I already did!!! x
ReplyDeleteLOVE your header :) I love the chattering that goes on here, too. They're such clever little things aren't they!
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous photos and I would say I've entered my 'chubby' part of the year too ;)
Great Blog!! I am now following you, from MBC.

I love the tinkerbell cake!! SO CUTE!
ReplyDeleteI love the tinkerbell cake too! I think I might make one for myself next year! love your comments and thanks so much for dropping by my blog :)
ReplyDeleteMy chubby half of the year! HAahaha!!
ReplyDeleteI too LOVE the chatter. I love sneaking up on my kids and listening when they can't see me. I love the little stories they come up with during imaginative play! I especially love that when my boys do it they speak with an American accent. hahaha. we assume it's from the kids movies we watch because we are not American :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your chubby half of the year comment, so funny! Gorgeous pics and gorgeous cherubs!
