Our Lovely Lani

 Hello everyone, I again have had to acknowledge that I will not be able to find time to sit down and type out a proper blog post. I'm okay with that, though, because I love how I'm spending my time! I've done a video update, which is too big for blogger but can be viewed by clicking here, as well as a little video explaining the pronunciation of Lani's name, which you can see by clicking here.

I have also uploaded a bunch of videos and pictures. We have hundreds (not an exaggeration) but I have tried to be selective. It's still lots, but hopefully that's okay.

 

(This one is me when I was a baby, wearing the same clothes as Lani in the above picture and demonstrating how much we look alike.)

This is Lani's NZ passport picture.

Lani's Birth and First Weeks

Lani is 3 weeks old today, and what an amazing three weeks it's been! I'm not going to spend much of my precious time typing, but rather have two videos and lots of pictures to share with you.

For a video I made a couple weeks ago about Lani's birth, click here.

Okay, so those are the birth pictures, and then come some of our favourite pictures of our life with Lani so far, in no particular order. For a video of me talking about our newborn experience, click here.

This one needs some explanation - this is an outfit I wore when I was a baby.

See? That's me wearing it, about 32 years ago. Also everyone's been commenting that she looks like J, but she also looks like me, right? Of course, at this stage all babies kind of look alike, but still.

This is J when he was a baby. The resemblance is pretty strong, we think.
(Side note, that is his Great Great Grandma holding him. Isn't that amazing?)
