My baby is six!

Six years ago today this little man emerged from the world sunny side up. He was destined to go against the grain from the very beginning and has stayed true to form ever since.

He lives his life in costume and character, playing with his Lego and weaving elaborate stories and games.

Happy 6th Birthday Master Connor.

Connor leveled up in swimming this week and has conquered his fear of diving into the deep end! This has been quite a big deal seeing as he wouldn't even step into the water a year ago!

We had an early family birthday party today with all of the little cousins and assorted Aunties, Uncles and Grandparents in attendance. We had pizza and cake in the park with a dose of soccer thrown in for good measure. Connor had a blast and loved all of his presents. The Toy Story Lego sets were a hit and are already sitting proudly on his shelf :)

While at the park today, my gorgeous nephew Lachlan showed off his newly acquired walking skills, enabling me to snap a few pictures. I struck gold with this little beauty!

Is he not the cutest thing you have ever seen with his little puppy? Rich says he looks like a doll in this shot with his porcelain skin and pused little lips...love it! 

Here he is demonstrating his other new love - pointing. He ppoints at everything and is rather happy with himself ;)

And just for fun - a sweet photo of the birthday boy and his long-suffering sister at swimming lessons this week. Mikaela has graduated to squad this week and is a very happy little swimmer.

Mind you, seeing as this is how she spends a good portion of her time there, I have no idea how she leveled up....she's such a shy, delicate little flower *sigh*....

Well I'd better go...I have presents to wrap and cupcakes to decorate. A mother's work is never done.
