Hi everyone, I hope you're all well and your babies too.
I bought Yasin his first pair of shoes on saturday so that I can let him walk outdoors if he wants to. He's so funny in them. He sits down and refuses to stand up and when he does finally stand and walk he start picking his feet up really high. I geuss that we won't get much wear out of them #-o . The lady who fitted them said he had fat feet :-s which is a bit wierd because the rest of him is very skinny indeed. He eats like a horse but he just stays skinny. Every time he gets plumper he seems to lose it all within a week or two.
DH and I ended up not going to SILs party. I don't know what excuse he made (probably work - his family must think he works 24/7 ) but we spent a lovely day relaxing, doing a bit of shopping and watching movies.

Michelle, IKWYM about being a bit teary because Jesssica is almost one. Sometimes I feel a bit the same way especially since Yasin is in such a hurry to do everything. He's walking more and more now. He hardly ever crawls unless he's in a real hurry and this morning he walked in a hurry so I geuss that he's almost over the crawling.

Mel, I'm sorry you have to delay TTC for a while. Sometimes I think I should have waited because of the hard work aspect and also because I feel a bit sorry for Yasin that he'll suddenly have to adjust to having to share his parents. On the other hand I'm really looking forward to watching Yasin and his sibling growing up together. I geuss that whatever the gap is between siblings it has its pros and cons.


Michelle, good luck with the BD fest. I hope we're reading about your BFP in a couple of weeks.
Sorry to hear that the Christmas photo was so upsetting. One day you'll make a gorgeous ablbum for Jessie.
How are your party preparations going? I'm not sure what to do about Yasin's party. Its in the middle of Ramadan so my original idea of a picnic is out and I have to plan something for night time. my house is too small to have a big party here so I'm kind of stumped for ideas that don't involve hiring a function room. Maybe a BBQ by the beach would be nice but most places turn off the BBQs at dusk.

Lara, I hope that you have recovered from the punching incident. You've got to watch out for those first teeth. They're sooo sharp. I found that out when I got my boob bitten. I was scared of losing a nipple every feed for a week afterwards.

Snowy, I hope that the move is going well for you. I hate moving - I always manage to lose something and injure myself trying to pack. DH and I are planning to move somewhere bigger in about 6-8 weeks so we'll have to start looking soon. I'm hoping that DH can move us while I'm on holiday. It will keep his mind off being lonely. He's planning to go to QLD to play golf with my brother and his best friend but that will only be for 3 days so he'll need something else to keep him busy for the rest of the time. I think he's going to miss Yasin like crazy. He misses him when he has to work late so I'm not sure how he'll cope with a long seperation.
