Siblings {October}

It still amazes me how much babies sleep. Almost four months in, and I still find it crazy how small the windows of opportunity are for me to capture a moment with all three siblings together. With Ava at school now, with Jonas' naps and feeds, there are only a few points in the day when the three of them are actually all awake and in each others company!

And one of my favourite daily moments is breakfast...


One sock on, one sock off on baby Jonas... an eclectic mix of cereals and croissants... the table strewn with hair ties as I conjure up the wish of the day on the girls heads. Breakfast varies from day to day... some days a frantic shovelling down of cereal, other days an opportunity to sit together, chat and talk about the day ahead. Ava always wants toast or a croissant, and needs a little encouragement on the cereal front; Heidi's bowl is bursting at the seams (branflakes are the current favourite), Jonas coos and babbles his way through the whole experience, and smiles if you so much as look at him.

Or very cheekily does this...


My little people in October. Adjusting to this new "structured" school day. Loving each other, winding each other up, but being the best of friends at the end of the day.

Just like siblings should be.

  3. Ah so cute and it is great that Jonas can sit up high and be in on the action with his big sisters. You must have to pinch yourself that these three gorgeous little people are yours Claire. x

  9. I love the last photo! I am in awe of how you have time to do not one little girl's hair but two...Meg usually goes with a ponytail unless I happen to be up an extra hour earlier to spend faffing with it ;)
