our little TOBIE.....

It feels like an eternity since I Blogged and by the date on my last post I guess you could say it kinda has been... :)
 
The ol' Blog mojo seemed to fly out the window come mid November as the weeks past my due date kept ticking by and still there seemed to be no baby in sight...
 
After many long days sitting around doing a lot of this... nothing but knitting....

My third bundle of joy finally decided to make its way into the world nearly 3 weeks late...

So on the 25th of November in the wee hours of the morning I delivered a healthy baby boy with DH by my side and my girls sleeping peacefully in the room next to my labour-sweet...

'Tobie' weighed in at 8 pounds 11 ounces and is my longest baby by far, measuring a good 8cm longer than both my girls...

At a week old he began his trips to town with me and the girls on a Friday to help out in my Shop and proves to be the perfect side-kick, wooing in all of the customers... LOL!!!

Now at 5 weeks old I can safely say that life feels pretty amazing at the moment... Tobie is an awesome baby and I find myself falling in love with him over and over again each and every day...

And you know what??? I'm not the only one - the whole house is pretty smitten with our newest addition....

Which has made his long awaited arrival oh so much sweeter...

So, here's hoping you had a gorgeous Xmas surrounded by family and friends and that you bought in 2013 just how you'd hoped to...
 
One of my New Years Resolutions is to try a little harder to make time for the things that make me super happy and guess what - blogging is one of those things so look out 2013....

What are your New Years Resolutions???

  8. He is a very adorable little baby boy Jodie. I saw your posts on fb about him, and was so excited for you all. It doesnt seem like he was in a rush to get out into the world and looks like a very calm little baby. I wish I lived closer so I could pop into your shop and visit you all.

  13. Jodie, congratulations to you and your family.
    Tobie is such a beautiful baby boy. How fun for you to take him to the shop and show him off to your customers. I love the photo of him in his little jumper.
    It was so nice to read your post this morning and see that all is well in your world. I thought of you often this holiday season as I had numerous gift requests for fingerless mitts this year and your pattern is my favorite...Happy New Year and enjoy your new bundle of joy,
    Hugs

  15. Oh bless you! I just knew when you were absent from blogging that maybe you were busy with a new baby, and so be it, a darling boy to add to your family. Now your husband has his son and not so out-numbered by all the females in the house. Tobie, how fitting, the name suits him well, he looks like a Tobie. Congrats to you and your family and glad to see you are back and looking forward to seeing more of you in 2013.
    Happy New Year!

  21. OMG!!!! What a Happy New Year for you and me finding out about your little man...although he's not little! You can tell in the pictures how long he is! He's going to be a tall one that boy. How precious is he? I bet the girl's are ecstatic! Their own live doll....my daughter used her younger brother that way...dressed him up and put barettes in his hair. Now that they're all grown up he is the fussiest about his clothes and how he looks....too funny! You definitely had a happy holiday season. He's just so cute! Congratulations to all and I'm so glad you're all healthy and happy!
