Soooooo its been a while since i posted but with having a newborn and all the washing, cleaning, cooking and working (oh poor me haha) ive been doing whilst letting Kirsty concentrate on neurtering Flynn there hasnt been alot of time for anything else.
Weve had Flynn home for nearly a month now and its just been the best, Tane has taken to him better than we knew he would and there is certainly a protective/gaurdian/brotherly bond that is forming, Any little murmer from Flynn and Tane is there, Just last night Tane was sitting out in the front section and Flynn started crying whilst i was changing him and next thing you know Tane is inside looking for him, i had Flynn up high on his change table and you could see Tane searching for him in his hammock on our bed etc etc and there was a distinct look of concern on his face when he couldnt see flynn untill he realised i had him then he just plonked his butt down and waited for his chance to give flynn a reasurring lick /sniff and kiss.
Tane has enjoyed having Flynn home especially as he thinks that everyone that comes to visit is here to see him and flynn is just an extra hahaha,
Probably the hardest thing is for me to remeber who is DADDY'S BOY (Tane) and who is DADDY'S MAN (FLYNN) so as not to confuse tane when im talking to either of them, ive have slipped up a few times.
Weve really made an effort to include Tane in everything we do with Flynn but ive also made a point of having Dadda & Tane time ..extra walks, cuddles on the deck etc etc just tane and me and it seems to be working fine not a hint of jealousy.
We had a family photo shoot the other week and yes when i say Family it means Tane as well,
In the photos of Flynn for anyone that is interested he is wearing a traditional peice of Maori (our Native people of which im part...say it like MOULDY bread) Jewllery . Its called a PONAMU (PO-NAH-MOO) and is made of greenstone which i think is only found in the beautiful waters of the South island rivers here in New Zealand. Traditionally it is handed down and given to you, you cant just go and by one for yourself (well you can but it loses its meaning) and has to be blessed by a KAUMATUA (CO-MA-TO-AH...an Elder from your tribe) in a body of running water and was traditionally given to the strongest most fearless Warrior of each tribe, They come in alot of different sizes and have alot of different shapes and each shape has a different meaning of what it stands for, Like diamonds the colour is a signifcant part in the $ value although as a family hierloom you cant put a value on it...Flynn's one is a traditonal shape given to men only and stands to protect him and give him strength and prosperity.... Anyway enough babbling from me here is some of our latest pics of FLYNN?TANE and the FAMILY...
Tummy time with big bro keeping an eye on him
Tane , although aloud to doesnt hop up on the bed but just as i was leaving for work this is what i found
