Bedtime cuddles with Mum


A little movie we put together last night - Probably a bit long! There's us clucking over him, him chilling out in the bath and Kaisha and Coen oohing and aaahing over Skype. Coen is quite fascinated by him, I guess its because its another little person!

LAKYN JAY KNOWLER...

 ... I was born on Thursday the 16th August (same day as Aunty Merle!!) at 5.08pm, it took me 16 hours to find my way into this world! Mummy and Daddy are very happy and so in love with me! Here is my 1st 24 hours in photos....

                                      
                                                        Here I am just a few minutes old!

Daddy, Mummy and I

My name is Lakyn (pronounced Lay-kin) I weigh 8 lb 1 and am 54cm long. These are my cute little feet!!

Here's Mummy with the best cup of tea she has ever tasted!!!!

Here's Daddy putting me in clothes for the 1st time to take me home!

I headed home just 4 hours after I was born, Mummy and Daddy couldn't wait to get into there own bed!

Here I am at home with some gorgeous flowers from Grandma, Grandpa and Grandma and Grandad congratulating Mummy and Daddy on my arrival. Thank you so much!

Here's my Daddy changing my nappy. Mummy and I think he's the best Daddy in the world!!

Sherry was my very first visitor, she thought I was pretty good looking!

I met my cousins Kaisha and Coen and my Aunty Melissa on Skype. I also meet my Aunty Janelle, Grandma and Grandpa Bassett, Grandma and Grandad Knowler, Roxy and my friend Kingston and Steve and Jess all over Skype today! Whew, all that showing me off really wore my out!!

Meeting my Aunty Levarnee and my cousins Bo, Carley and Sophie!

Here's my Daddy giving me my very 1st bath!!

I wasn't so sure about it but once I relaxed I loved it!

I'm pooped!! But I'll have to tell you a funny story, when I was in Mummy's tummy she thought it would be a good idea to get a bassinet for me, but Daddy told her I would be sleeping right next door in my cot so I wouldn't need one. Mummy, being a good Mummy agreed with Daddy. Well, the 1st night at home Mummy went to bed and woke up a couple hours later with Daddy coming to bed carrying a dressing draw with me in it! He put it down next to his side of the bed so he could keep a very close eye on me all night long!! (Daddy first tried to put me in the clothes basket but I was too long!) Daddy thinks maybe we can wait a few more nights before putting me in the big cot!

Here's my Mummy and me, she loves having snuggles with me and she could just stare at me in amazement for hours.

I met Adrienne and my girlfriend Tahlia who was SO excited so meet me, she clapped her hands and jumped up and down!

Me having cuddles with Cam

My Daddy went to the store and brought Mummy brie cheese, pesto and crackers! She sure was happy! 

 Janine and Belinda called around to oo and ahh at me, they thought I was pretty handsome!

I hope you enjoyed looking at my 1st day! I am now in my PJ's, wrapped up in my blanket and lying on Daddy's tummy about to hit the sack for the night!! I'm sure Mummy will be posting a lot more photos of me in the future!!
Love Lakyn
