Feisty Little Ones

We went to see Anya twice during the week, and from both visits I've come to the conclusion that Asher and Anya will either love each other cos they are equally feisty and energetic, or hate each other cos they are so similar (from what I can tell so far...it may change as they grow up of course).

Our first trip was just to catch up cos we hadn't seen my dear cousin since we visited her at the hospital. Both Mummy and Baby were doing great, not to mention Daddy too :) It was great that Adrian was able to take some time off so we could catch up with him too! Daddies need encouragement and support as well :) It was fun hearing stories about Anya - that she's perfectly happy sitting in soiled diapers, must eat the instant she's hungry, and hardly sleeps. I can totally empathise with Del especially on the last point cos having a baby who hardly sleeps is tiring! Asher used to need to eat instantly as well, but now he's more easily distracted and can forget his hunger for a few minutes. Actually, nowadays he's so distracted that I sometimes worry he's not eating enough cos he'll stop, look around, and sometimes not be interested in eating at all.


A lovely smile for the camera!

Anyway, the second time we went over was for Anya's one month gathering. Time flies man. It must have felt that way for our friends when Asher turned one month, but hearing that Anya was almost turning one month old was so surprising to me! It was great to catch up with relatives and meet some friends I hadn't seen in a super long time. There were also many, many, many, and for good measure, many, babies at their house! So many of Del's friends have kids! How fun for them when they all grow up! :) Most of them are boys, and I hear quite a few of the Daddies are Everton fans, like Jon, so maybe Asher can and join their little Everton-baby soccer club, heh.

Daddies and cousins Asher, Anya & Aidan. No, we did not plan to have all our firstborns start with 'A'. Just one of those funny coincidences :)
