The Shelly Belly 2.0

On Christmas Day in 2009 I launched my business with The Shelly Belly as my first post. My gorgeous sister, 36 weeks pregnant with blog regulars Charlie & Digby.

Now, just over 2 years later, the belly is full again while she’s expecting another one! I can’t wait for the addition of a niece or another nephew and am super excited to be flying up to Alice 2 weeks after her due date to meet and photograph the brand new bub!

So here’s Shelly again, with one on the inside, and the two gorgeous little fellas on the outside :)

It’s so cute watching Charlie play with her belly. Blowing raspberries, reaching up to touch it, & using it as a rather convenient seat :)

Digby has recently taken to referring to himself as Bibby (Shell reckons its Bigby, but I can’t hear the g). Anyway, it’s completely adorable!

The still shot doesn’t really do it justice, but Charlie has a new move, dubbed the Old Man Dance. Really slowly walking, wobbling side to side and flailing his arms about. Very very funny!

I am just bursting with excitement to meet the little one, and watch the boys become big brothers.

A Christmas that was Twice as Nice

I’ve been one busy little bee lately, & it’s only now I’ve had a chance to dig a little into the personal files & share a few photos from Christmas out in the central west.

Christmas 2010 was incredibly special, as it was Charlie & Digby’s first one with us (even though they got completely spoiled in 2009 when Shell was 36 weeks pregnant!)

Here’s Digby first thing in the morning – Did someone say Santa?

Their first taste of Christmas ham went down very well.

I wonder who gave them a camera ;)

I love watching babies learning to figure new things out.

Digby cottoned on to the fact that when someone says ‘Who’s on the phone?’ you have to put it to your ear to find out. Quite hilariously, it didn’t seem to matter what he was holding, even a water bottle at times, or just his bare hand. Very cute.

I don’t blame Digby for wanting to take off his crown. Who actually enjoys wearing them?

This was easily the best Christmas in years (not that the others were bad), it’s so much more rich when there’s little ones so amazed by what’s going on around them.

Merry Christmas Charlie & Digby!

PS Congratulations to the twinnies, as they’ve started walking in the past couple of weeks! Aunty Fairy is so proud of you xx

Guess who’s 1 today!!!

Happy Birthday Charlie and Digby!!!!

To my most favourite little bubbas in the world, Happy Birthday. I wish I was there to give you a cuddle, but at least you chatter on the phone these days :)

Missing you every day. Love Aunty Fairy xx

We had an early Birthday party for them on Boxing Day in Dubbo for the family (like me!) who wouldn’t be able to make it to Alice Springs for their actual Birthday today.

Still a little young to understand the concept of blowing out a candle.

Digby was a little more than chuffed with his ice cream cake

Charlie was a bit worn out after a big Christmas. I promise he did actually enjoy himself!

It was also their first experience with bubbles. It was very cute; they kept squinting the whole time.

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to :)
