Gosh it's been absolutely forever since I posted in here LOL.

Well the whirlwind that was Christmas came and went in a flurry of tinsel and brightly coloured wrapping paper. The kids were thoroughly spoilt, but *santa* was a bit scroogy here - we went for quality this year and not quantity as by this time last year I was already throwing out the remnants of broken cheap-ass toys. The IL's god bless them always buy a lot for the kids, but not always the best quality, so it never lasts long. This year they did a lot better and brought some pretty cool stuff for the kids (not that they always brought the wrong toys, just cheap ones).

So now I have to deal with the kids all at home for the next 4 weeks and by golly I am looking forward to Erin starting school LOL. She will do my head in that child (I love her, I really do, but she knows how to push my buttons thats for sure ) She's not bad, but very high maintenance.

Alister is just gorgeous. he thinks he is so funny now when he rolls around all over the place, but now we get the 'help me I'm stuck' cries LOL. he's also going through a lot of cranky phases, which I think it just developmental as he is in that terrible age of being just mobile enough to get frustrated at not being more mobile kwim? Erin was exactly the same and didn't let up until she started crawling (which thankfully was at 4.5mths so the grizzling stopped, but terrible because she grew up way to fast then). So I think Alister is following her trend for that. he's not like it all the time, but he has moments when it just seems like he wants to be more active. he is starting to develop good hand-eye coordination too now and can reach out for specific things when you hold it in front of him.

We still aren't in the crawler nappies yet - he's too lean for them, but the infants are looking small now. Hopefully it wont be much longer, but we aren't having problems with leaking though.
