“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”
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.

nixon: i was about to dress you when i realised that i really needed to enjoy your baby chub more often. so we turned the heat pump on and you had a lovely play in your nappy and i went a bit snap-happy. you are such a very scrummy baby!
ethan: june was a lucky month for me, i won two tickets to the all blacks v england at eden park so opted to let you and your dad have a boys night out. you guys had some fast food for dinner and rode the train to town where you had a blast watching the first nail-biting test. it was a timely treat as you received player of the day again at your own rugby game! you are so handsome and growing so fast at the moment, that’s my kathmandu jacket you’re fitting rather nicely!

“A portrait of my children, once a week, every week, in 2014.”
nixon: your dad and i realised that our second-child-slacker affliction extended so far that you had never been on a swing! quelle horreur! so, you and i hit the park and you swung and you slid and all you really wanted to do was to eat bark {which we can do at home fyi}. i love you little baby.
ethan: you are constantly needing to have physical contact with nix, always picking him up, moving him around, wrestling and cuddling. you were busy explaining all of the trinkets on the wall, insisting that a photo of nix was actually you {you were obstinately sure you were right!}.
