Acquisitions | MOX Moccasins

  Moccasins are huge right now in the spendy land of baby fashion {which is going mental atm}, but their place is warranted in my opinion.  I just cannot squish my bubba’s fat little sledgehammers into hard, uncomfortable shoes.  Nix will be wearing Mox exclusively

Bunting Stickers for cake topper from Typo So initially when I realised that Nixon was indeed going to turn one against my wishes, I was planning on having a “small, easy party”. Maybe we would just invite friends and no extended family?  Or just family and

nixon: happy birthday my darling baby!  and you are still a baby, so much more so than your big brother at one and that’s just fine with me.  you had an amazing birthday, having your operation postponed meant we were all happy, relaxed and you felt great.  it was a blessing in disguise really.  you enjoyed daddy’s birthday pancakes so much i really think we should have given you a pancake stack instead of your own cake {not such a fan of cake and icing!}.  this has been hands down the best year of our lives, you have completed the jack family, created a wonderful big brother in ethan and we all just can’t stop loving and kissing on you x

ethan: we wanted you to celebrate with us and nixon on his birthday so you took the day off school and we headed to mexico for lunch.  you have always been the best kid to take to restaurants.  you love trying new food and flavours and your dad and i both really enjoy discussing recipes and critiquing dishes with you.  mexican food is our family’s firm favourite so it wasn’t too surprising that we loved our meal but it was great to see you enjoying and appreciating the experience.  plus you have the most brilliant blue eyes my boy xx

Realising you were doing it all wrong; the bedtime breastfeeding debacle.

Today, on the eve of Nixon’s first birthday, I woke up without having left my bed at all {!!!!!!!!!} the night before.  My serial night-feeder only woke once and settled himself back to sleep after about 5 minutes of fussing.  This is a huge deal for

nixon: your last days of babyhood are upon us!  you walk when you feel like it, you talk all day long, you are stroppy and know what you want and you are the most delicious, happy baby we have ever known.  i am so looking forward to celebrating your first birthday this week.  where this year has gone, i can’t even fathom.

ethan: we headed to waiwera on a whim on sunday and scooped up one of your besties on the way.  we had such fun!  it was a relief to shake off our rather stringent naptime routine and just roll with the punches for a day.  you definitely appreciated having a day that didn’t revolve around your wee brother and it made me realise that it’s ok to throw routine out the window every once in a while.
