Hi there Ladies and Babies \/

Just wanted to pop in to say hi and catch up.

Brodie is 6 weeks today!!! - I can't believe how fast time has flown.

My gorgeous little man is getting bigger and more alert daily.

He now weighs a whopping 4.3kg - which is pretty good considering he was only 2.6kg born....

Lately he has decided that he doesn't want to sleep through the day - ironically the minute we go visiting though or shopping the cheeky monkey will sleep and sleep and sleep - I think he just likes to make a liar out of me.

This morning we have been for a power jog/walk - he likes it bumpy and fast - needless to say I pooped - he slept for the walk home but the minute I put him into his bassinet - forget it!!! - wide awake and hungry (again 8-[ )

He has also discovered the "Witching" hour - or should I say hours - 6.30am - 10am then again from 7.30pm til say about 10.30pm.... - during this time he will not go to sleep and pretty much just wants to be held and nursed - he will then decide whether he wants to sleep or cry - but none the less - he makes all the decisions -there is no way of forcing him to do something he doesn't want to do (just like his dad!!!!) - other than that I'm not going to complain.

what more can i tell you?? :-k - I feel like I have lost my identity a little - I mean I am totalling enjoying being a mum and don't care that I am not the "centre of attention" any longer (thank goodness I say - it was starting to drive me bonkers) - but what I mean is that I am so enthralled in everything baby that I just don't seem to have time for anything else...oh well no use fighting it they obviously grow so fast that I'm making sure I spend as much time enjoying it all as possible, everyone keeps giving me mile stones to look forward to - like Xmas, Birthdays etc....at this rate I'm just looking forward to him sleeping the next 2hours so that I can miss him enough to want to cuddle him so hard it hurts (me not him O )

Well anyway - hope you ladies are all travelling well and that your babies are wonderful.

I have updated Brodies site with more piccies (well I'm going to do that after this post anyway)

Sorry - one last thing before I go - there is one thing that I am definately looking forward to - THE END OF SUMMER!!! - COME ON COOLER WEATHER - it makes me feel better to say it out loud - I'm sure Brodie is suffering from the heat hence not wanting to sleep - he's a bit of a "sweaty baby" (just like his dad again) - so really looking forward to milder temperatures - 23 or 24 would be just lovely.....

talk soon
