Two years ago on this day, we welcomed another beautiful blonde bundle into our lives.
After months of waiting and worrying about this pre-labelled baby, Nicholas arrived and fit seamlessly into our family. Never in a million years could I imagine just how much more joy and love and delight our littlest Love would bring into our lives. While it’s hard to believe he’s two already, in some ways I feel as though he’s always been a part of our family.
It’s difficult to choose exactly what we love the most about our two year old littlest Love right now. Is it that little voice that yells out ‘hellooo’ from his room in the morning to let us know he’s awake. Or the cheeky grin and wave as he speeds away from us on his trike. Perhaps it’s the full body cuddles, complete with chubby arms around our neck, that tells us he loves us back. So many reasons to love this boy that some days it feels like our hearts are going to burst.
Happy 2nd birthday to our funny, cheeky, clever, spunky, delightful Nicholas who, along with his brothers, teaches us so many things every day. The first two years have been a blast, and we can’t wait to see what’s yet to come.
And you’ll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important things
And all that I have lost along the way.
And I can’t wait.

Here’s a little video celebration of (a very often photographed) Nicholas as we look back on the past two years. Thank you for being part of our village and loving our littlest Love almost as much as we do x
This is absolutely beautiful! We are so blessed to be on this journey with you. I can’t wait for our boys to meet some day! Happy birthday, Nicholas!!

Happy Birthday, Nicholas, you gorgeous little fella! You were born into a cracker of a family, kiddo. And you fit right in.
Much love, Annie. That video was heaven. xxx
😉 Sorry, didn’t mean to make you cry. I thought about you when I wrote about Nicholas fitting seamlessly into our family – I think that’s how you described him in your Love Letter blog post. Thanks for the birthday love xx
Happy birthday Nicholas! Annie you are the definition of super mum and I always look forward to reading your blog. Hope to meet your little Nicholas one day, he is truly a blessing to the Love clan. Enjoy being 2 Nicholas!! X
Thanks Soph! Aaah, not sure about super mum, but thank you 😉 Nicholas truly is a blessing xx
Happy 2nd Birthday Nicholas. Annie thank you so much for sharing your lovely family with us. Nicholas, that smile of his just melts my heart! Hope that it’s a day filled with lots of love, laughter and of course birthday cake. Especially good when eaten with fingers!!
Thanks again for sharing your ‘Love’ly family. Can’t tell you how much I love seeing their smiling faces.

So sweet of you, thank you Creina. Glad we can share our beautiful boys with you xx
Happy birthday little guy! Such a beautiful video. Looks like Wade and Nicholas shared the same curl on the top of the head when they were little and the same cheeky grin!!
I always loved that Dr Seuss curl of hair – looking much more conservative these days 😉 Thank you for your birthday wishes xx
Just beautiful.
Thanks Angela xx
