January was a bitter sweet month!
I just love summer, I feel so alive in the warmth and I love getting out but the high of having all the grand and great grandparents here with us, followed by Max and my parents moving back to Sydney was a little sad. I wish my boys had their grandparents near to unconditionally love them and to know them, that's one thing Jony and I will never stop missing if we stay... We are both big on being surrounded by people we love! (Despite the chaos that comes with it)

My Grandparents were never baby people... (I think they felt it was better for babies' health in the early months to not be passed around) so I've never seen Grandma sit and relax with a baby like this before and Bailey only ever went to sleep while feeding (mostly) and in his cot...
So I love this photo!
