They Say It's Your Birthday

Harry feeding Esme.

Well, look at this cool dude!

And this cool chick!

Darby as a toddler. He is Inquisitive and he looks like he's going to look like Max.

Esme as a toddler. She's Fussy. Does it get more adorable?!

Hugs for Darbs.

Toddlers make all of this worth it, I tell ya.

Well, honestly, don't smash your dollhouse and then cry about it!

My reaction when I got billed $47,720!! I even have the frugal trait and all.

Don't let this sweet face fool you!

Uh oh, looks like Beckett's got something!

It also looks like it's his birthday.

Blow out those candles, baby!

Baby 42, Beckett Ryan, as a Young Adult. His final traits are Unflirty and Responsible. He got a job in the writer career.

Oh look, it's Zoe's birthday too! Her party is at the bowling alley.

She's a teen!

Baby 37, Finn, was there too, bowling with a group, but he fell over! Luckily Mum was there to capture it!

Sweet twinnies.

Father material?

This is Hugo (not my son Hugo), the uncle of Darby and Esme.

Back home, we are being musical. I'm playing the piano, Elliot is practising violin and Darby is dancing!

Here's Baby 43, Zoe, as a teenager! She gained the Materialistic trait and her aspiration is City Native, the first of my children to have that aspiration!

A common sight, Esme throwing a tantrum! Those fussy toddlers...

Darby gazed at a picture of his big brother Hugo.

Story time with Elliot, Darby and Esme.

These two were in foul moods as it was before we received the news that Baby 36 Melody had passed away.

We were all upset.

It's so hard losing a child.

Zoe asking Beckett for advice.

Harry had some trouble with his umbrella.

It's birthdays galore around here.

Go Elliot!

Stinky toddlers in their party outfits.

Go Darby!

Go Esme (with Harry)!

Baby 44, Elliot, as a teenager. He gained the Good trait. His new aspiration is Archaeology Scholar. He looks just like his dad.

Baby 45, Darby, as a child. He gained the Squeamish trait and has the Rambunctious Scamp aspiration.

Baby 46, Esme, as a child. She gained the Outgoing trait and has the Social Butterfly aspiration. She looks like Melody did as a child, which is quite scary considering Melody just passed away. We received news that Hugo also passed away.

Pretty Ottilie got fit!

Zoe running outside to see her first snow!

Yeah, I may have looked cool doing this, but I sprained my ankle.

Christmas, Followed by Babies 45 and 46

A cake can only mean one thing...

Why, it's Reilly's birthday!

Looking surprised!

Baby 40, Reilly Bray, as a young adult. He gained the Self-Assured and Responsible traits. He also joined the Doctor career, the first of my children to have a profession!

It was then time to do some family Christmas tree decorating.

And by family, I mean the WHOLE family.

It was a little crowded around the tree - Scarlett, Reilly, Finn and Ottilie.

Mama Bear with Melody and River.

Even my grandsons, Zackery and Roland, joined in.

Squishy!

At the same moment, my current oldest baby, Hugo, became an elder!

Harry wanted to cook a grand breakfast for us on Christmas morning.

A pair of stinky toddlers gobble it up!

Excitement around the tree.

Hugging Zackery (son of Archie).

Zoe being cute as she opens a present.

Asking Father Winter for a gift!

Elliot also asks Father Winter for a present.

Beckett receives his gift. And then Father Winter nicked off up the chimney before we could all get presents!

Caught Harry and Elliot being cute.

So sweet.

Ottilie, Harry, Reilly and Beckett watching the TV season premiere.

Zoe being cute.

And look, it's time for another birthday.

Make that two birthdays!

That's a grin.

Baby 42, Beckett, as a teen! He gained the Bookworm trait and his new aspiration is Bestselling Author - I don't think any of my children have had that aspiration before (I may be wrong though).

And Baby 43, Zoe, as a child. She gained the Lazy trait and has the Artistic Prodigy aspiration.

Words with Elliot.

Work out!

Tierra (Finn's daughter) and her aunty Zoe.

Harry cooking up a storm to cater for New Year's Eve.

Reilly, Beckett and Yaretzi (Cameron's daughter).

Countdown!

Happy New Year!

Hugs all round. Mama with River.

Scarlett and Zoe.

Selfie with River.

And her twin Melody.

Ottilie!

It's Reilly's first day on the job and his patients are his nieces! Tierra...

... AND Yaretzi!

Beckett looks excited about something.

Duck faced Reilly.

GeekCon is always a good father scouting opportunity. This cosplayer is Max Villareal. He was in the same club as Finn and Elsa when they were kids.

Changes clothes but leaves the creepy mask on to kiss me...

Harry's baked a cake! It must be someone's birthday...

It's Elliot's!

Hey guys, it's me Elliot!

My boys always greet each other with this bro hug, regardless if they are Bros or not (not bros as in brothers, because that's what they actually are, but as in the trait).
