Looking backwards and forward

Looking backwards and forward

by Alexandra Dawe

Wed, Jun 30, 2010

I’m delighted to say that we’ve been blessed yet again in the Dawe house. Just over twelve weeks ago we celebrated the safe arrival of our new baby boy. He’s adorable, and very hairy! We’ve named him Jacob, although he is often affectionately called ‘Wolfie’, ‘Jacob the Bear‘, or ‘Monkey-Boy’! We’re sure the excess hair will drop off… eventually. His big sister adores him and likes to give him lots of cuddles and kisses, which is quite worrying for us as parents, seeing an enormous toddler about to sit on a tiny baby while yelling “CUDDLE” at the top of her lungs! Megan is fast approaching her second birthday, we’re not quite sure when she went from being a tiny baby to being almost two years old. I think we may have an infestation of some time-stealing goblins!
