This is why H looks.....

like this....

He has been teething and had his 1 year old injections 10 days ago.  He has his top left tooth, his top 2 teeth have cut through and his top right is now cutting through.  Poor little bugger.

I would just like say a very big Thank you to Mathew, Clay and Rachel for sending the intire Minti community a pair of Muggies. 

The Muggies are very much appricated and it was a very lovely gesture from the Minti team.   In this cold weather the muggies will come in very handy to keep my feet warm. 

It was quite funny and also hard to keep track of what people were up too last night as the intire activity list was full of people I have never heard off accepting muggies.

I love my muggies, Thank you!

Well about 3 weeks ago I joined the toy library... great idea, don't have to buy toys, and they get to go back so we don't have a mountain of toys piling up... Cool yes? Well, Until I got this letter yesterday.

I received a letter yesterday from the toy library stating that I am on the roster to man the library on a Saturday. I am on their roster. If I don't do it, it will cost me $20. I mean the cheek of them to do this with out asking me. When I joined up their was no mention that I would have to do the library duties.

Also the library is having a BBQ fundrasier and they would love it if I would put my name down to do a 2hrs shift.

My partner and I like to have time on our own on the W/end. I suppose it would be a great way to get out and about and to meet new people and hopefully meet some one with a bubs H's age. We are not that good at meeting people or doing things like this so it puts us off a bit.

Oh well, it is for a good cause and I may just only just enjoy myself and besides it will only be for 4 shifts a year. If I can't do the shift that I have been given then I have to ring someone up and swap! I don't even know these people yet!!!

Well it has got to be done and I will do it and who know what will happen.... Isn't this what having children is all about??

It would have been nice to be asked to do it, or at least mention it when I signed up.   Oh BTW I got a mention in their news letter as being a new member.

Yes!, that's right all the blocks are gone.  I am sick to death of my son continually throwing them around and not caring whether it will go through the glass window or hit one of us.

He loves to play with his blocks he will crawl with one in each hand and make a huge loud noise, he loves to stack them up and knock them over, but the one thing he loves to do is throw them about  ARGH!!!!!

I understand that he probably does not understand at this young stage of his life, I get that, I really do.   But for the past week or so I have been walking away from his behaviour and ingoring it with out any improvement......

So, today I got all the blocks and put them in a box, and put them away.    He may get them back on the W/end, he may get them back on tuesday.  It really just depends on how I feel and if he is playing with his other toy well or not....

So Good bye blocks!!!  May they RIP for the time being!

Well, I'm not sure how I feel really.  At a loss I suppose or I just wanna cry.  As most of you know it is my babies birthday today, god bless him he is turning 1!

I love him so so much....  It's his birthday and I don't know how to feel.  I have to go to work today, and I have just left him at childcare is that so wrong?

Am I upset that I am loosing my baby that used to go to sleep in my arms?  am I now gaining a toddler that is terorising (sp) everything?  How he has grown up so so quick, once he was a tiny tiny little thing that could do nothing but cry when he wanted something and sleep when he needed to.  Now he is into everthing growing and learing so fast it is unbelievable. 

So today I guess I am happy that my boy turns 1 but on the other had I just feel so empty.  I love him so much.  I look at that cute face of his and my heart just melts.  That funny little giggle that he has........  I could go on..

Thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings.

ps thank you to everyone who has left birthday wishes for my son in my lounge.  I love it all!

The day started out well, never in my life have I wonted my baby to wake up early. LOL  I wonted him to wake at 6.30 so his naps could be a little earlier so he would be awake for his 1st birthday party.  He woke at 6.45.  Had an hour nap at 9.30 yeah!!!  Went to bed at mums at 1.30 and woke at 3.15.  The guests had arrived at 2.30.  Thats ok we had started on the champers.

H opened one pressent b4 the party...  It was a present sent from my partners mum and dad they live in the country.. 

He got some clothes and a golliwog teddy that he decided to eat....

This is what we gave him for his birthday a play gym he is a bit young yet for it yet but he loves it.......  

Anyway H dressed up for his party...  What a spunk LOL..  The outfit was given to him by grandma, my mum.  My mum knitted the cardy.

There was lots of food at the party and we had cup cakes for the cake....

H got lots of loot (pressies)...

His cousins were all too eagar to help him open them.....

H ate lots and lots of food....

We had a ball, H had a ball.  All very exciting we left the party at about 5ish and when we got home H wanted to play on his play gym so he had dinner then supervised play on the gym he go very up set when we told him after about 20 min that he couldn't play on it anymore.  He was very tired and had an early night tonight.  I really hope he sleeps through tonight as the rest of us are all pooped out.....

H's birthday isn't untill tomorrow but a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my gorgous boy...  I love you so very much!  Oh how they grow up too quick.

 

Mesmerised by the bubbles  (I had to try and get rid of the redeye that's why they are strange looking)

I can't beleive it, it is so exciting the year has gone so quickly my boy turns 1 on Monday.  It is hard to believe!!!

We are having a small party at my mum and dads place on Sunday.  It will be a joint party with my neice who turns 2,  2 days after my boy.

Anyway mum likes to do all the preperations so she is making the cake, she is going to make lots of cup cakes and tier them up like a triangle if you get what I am saying.  They will have pink and blue icing on them.  For boys and girls.  We will have fairy bread, sausage rolls, little sandwhiches,fruit platter, lemonade and of course champers to toast the day. 

My whole family will be there and my very good friend and her mum and dad (they are like my second parents) and my sister is inviting her very good friend.   So all up 14 adults and about 7 kids.   My boy will probably sleep through some of it like my other neice did.  It is going to be an afternoon thing.  

I can't wait it is all very exciting!!!!!!

Try your hand at putting.  It looks easier than it actually is
