James and Amy + two

Happy Grandparents and Dad...

Big Brother saying goodnight to little Eira

Checking Daddy out, She knows his voice and always gets wide eyed when she hears James talk.

Zeric keeps putting her little teddy in here with Eira and gets upset when she doesn't have it. So we will always find him making his way to put her teddy in with her when she naps. Big Brother watching out for her.

Zeric enjoying Eira's car seat. leave it to a little boy to make fun out of almost anything.

Zeric's new favorite toy is James Didgeridoo... He calls it a didge-do and makes the noise.

My little boy thinks he owns everyones touch phones and he knows how to work them better then most people.

Daddy and his little girl...

Spending time with Dad, she just loves to hear him and be with him

Two SLEEPY parents ;)
but two very happy people

Asleep in front of the Christmas tree, both Zeric and Eira love the lights

Nan and little Eira Lee

Yes she has a flower on her head, but she does look cute in it. Thanks to Grandma, I would have never put this on her, but now I love to put little headbands on her.

Mama Dixie, Mama Amy and little Eira Lee. My Mom has been such amazing help with the two kids and me. She has taught me so much while out here. Thank you Mom ;)

Our little girl

Brother and Sister

I have happy kids

A early Happy Holidays to everyone !!

Eira Lee Stephenson

Zeric giving Mama's belly one last cuddle.

Now one last kiss ! We dropped Zeric off with Nan and Gramps (bugga) and took off to the hospital.
That same hour my Mom flew into Sydney where she met Colin to make their way up to Newcastle. I was hoping to have my Mom make in time for the birth, But it all went so fast. No time to make it. I had a one hour labor and an amazing team at the hospital. James was my number one of course. And the Two Midwifes that were with me from start to finish made my time there great !

Grandma makes it to the hospital to meet her new Granddaughter Eira Lee Stephenson. 6lbs 14 oz and 20 inches.

Big brother Zeric loves his new baby sister oh so much.

Nan and Eira with Zeric wanting more time with his little sister. He would keep saying "baby"
I am also waiting on pictures from Nan's camera too. I know they got some good ones !

Eira Lee

Happy Dad and Brother

She sleeps so much, so when she's awake... we take it in !
Already a Daddy's girl

Zeric loved the treat Nan gave him... if only he could eat it faster before it melts !!

Dad and Zeric going for a walk in style

My Mom has been the most amazing help. If she wasn't her... I'm sure I wouldn't eat during the day. She frees my hands when needed the most. Thank you Mama

My big boy.. keeps growing up toooooooo fast

She lightens up when she hears Dad's voice and she falls right asleep in his arms

Zeric just loves his sister. He always makes sure she has her teddy and always covered up. He always gives her kisses and laughs at her feet when she moves them. He also loves it when she sneezes.

The first few weeks is always the hardest, no time for anything.... even sleep. But we find ways to fit in sleep ;)

Zeric just loves having Grandma here and I think she's also helping with his adjustment to not being the only one anymore. She has given him the attention he wants ...

" Hold the baby " is all he says now

Awake and enjoying looking around

back asleep

Big Brother love

The new member of our family

Z Man

Zeirc showing off his new shirt.. He loves Dinosaurs !

He knows exactly where to go when we go to the shops. We try to go in another entrance , but he runs right over to the Wiggles Car !! he loves it.

The Day before the new Bub, I wanted to do something special with Zeric. So I made a bunch of Halloween cookies and let him decorate a bunch. He loved it !

After the first bite, he decided he didn't want the cookie, but the decorations on top.

Our Halloween cookies were oh so yummy and I had such an amazing time with my little man.
