Happy birthday Melissa, I hope you have a lovely day and that your DH spoils you today and over the weekend. Birthdays are a great time to ask for massages, sleep-ins and for DH to cook you a yummy breakfast he he! Can't believe Benjamin was standing on his own. How exciting! Sounds like you are about to have to do a lot of extra house baby-proofing in the near future! Wow - and he seems young to be speaking all those words. What a clever boy!!! Must catch people by surprise when he is still so young but can do so much!
Kristie, Gus woke at 6am today as well, and also must have decided it was a bit early as he went back down for some more sleep at about 7.30am. DH was up at 5am watching the football and I think let out a "roar" cheer that I think woke Gus. Perhaps your DH did the same? Naughty boys! Louis sounds like he's having a big learning spurt at the moment. Thinking of him practising standing up and sitting down puts a big smile on my face. Sounds very cute!
Linda, I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble with the gym creche. Tis amazing to think the gym may well lose members b/c of this woman! Doesn't seem like good business sense to me. Hope a solution acceptable to you comes about very soon. Hope your sore throat goes away quickly. Sorry to hear Emma didn't sleep well again last night.
Kell, Hope your throat is much better today and that your voice has recovered. Lovely to hear your mum is ok. Must have been quite a scare for you all! Congrats to Will on mastering rolling. Must be very cute watching Will roll all over the floor. This should help him to chase after Molly. he he. Our bubbas really are at a gorgeous age! I LOVE your new ticker picture. Will looks absolutely adorable!
Tracey, Well done on the nail biting front. Must be encouraging to be seeing some new "white" growth. Keeping your nailed covered in polish sounds like a clever strategy! Love the sound of your costume for the party.
Kerrie, Congratulations on your new home. Hope you are settling in nicely. Must be three days that you've been there now so I guess there is still loads to be done. Hope you get some relaxation time in at some stage over the weekend.
Nikki, How are things with you? Has the bleeding stopped? Look after yourself honey.
Hi to everyone else.
Gus has mastered removing his new helmet. It's driving me crazy. He pulls and pushes at it until it comes off. Until today he hasn't known how to undo the velcro strap, so he was pulling it straight up and off. So the narrow part at the base of the back of the helmet was having to push up over the wide part of his head to get it off. The poor little tike's head is covered in purple and red bruises from it all. I was asked yesterday whether I had dropped him - cause his bruising is so bad!!! I look like a very neglectful mummy. But then today he worked out how to undo the velcro. I was driving in the car with him and I heard "rrrriiiipppp" as the velcro came undone and the next thing I know the helmet comes thumping into the front passenger seat. Gus had taken it off and then threw the nasty helmet away. Aghhhh not sure what the next step is. I think it will be an under the chin strap.
Had a lovely day today. I dropped Fergus off to Tresillian's Occasional Care (between 9.30am and 2.15pm) and then went into the city to do some shopping and to meet one of my darling working girlfriends for lunch. Was soo lovely. Had some yummy risotto and a beer down at Circular Quay. he ha! Was lovely to catch up with non-baby stuff. Shopping was not so successful. I've been looking everywhere for a thick jumper. I can't seem to find anything really warm in all my usual chain store spots. Lately I have been seeing ads for a particular shop that seemed to be selling exactly the type of jumpers I was after. From the ads it looked like it might be a little more expensive than I am used to so DH had said I could spoil myself and spend up to $200 on one if I saw something I really really liked. he ha. So I made a trip to the store today to discover it was sooooo out of my league. Their jumpers ranged between $800 and $2300. Can you believe it????!!! I thought I was being extravagant with my budget. he ha! Needless to say I left the store very empty handed. And, now I've had time to reflect I think my original budget of $200 is probably to much to spend at this time in my life given the frequency with which vomit and pureed pear etc ends up on my clothes!
Anyhoo, this has turned into a marathon post so will sign off here. Hope you are all having a lovely Friday.
