My baby is nearly 2!!!

Comment Published at 14:3314:336 comments6 comments30 Visits30 VisitsReport

Hi all. Im back!!

It has been a while. I have been incredibly busy the last 4 months. My new job is fantastic!! I am working in the claims dept at an insurance brokers.. man the things i see!!! I am learning alot! I have also started my Certificate III in Finacial Services and i think that i will have that completed by the end of the year. After that, i will be doing my diploma! Good thing it is on the job studying, i doubt i would have time to do it at home.

Austin has grown up so quickly. He talks alot. He is stringing small sentences together now. like "I dont like it" hehe that is one of his favourite. But we now get hello Mummy Hello Daddy. Nite nite Naa Nuu (love you) He is really becoming a little man now... which i find amazing and sad all at once!

I am eagerly awaiting the birth of my best friends baby too!!! After 2 years of trying she finally conceived and carried past 6 weeks!!! She is now 17 weeks pregnant and i am SUPER excited that she is going to be a Mummy!! I also have another friend who is due in September! God i wish i lived closer to them all!! But dems de brakes hey!!

My Dad is at hospital at the moment. Hopefully they will figure out what is wrong. They have him on new meds that are meant to take away 90% of the pain. He doesnt think they will cure him, but any relief at this stage will help. 4 years with a constant migrane is not good.

Anyway, my boy is letting me know that he has finished his brekkie, so i gotta go.

Take care xx

Just thought id drop in and say hi.

Not much has been happening here. My new job is fantastic. I love that i actually have a role. And i have only been there for a month, but already i have my own claims to deal with, and i have made some of my own contacts, which is great.

Austin is loving being at school 5 days, but i am a little concerned about another boy there that is biting him. My daycare lady has told me that it is a boy who is the same age as Austin who wants the toys that Austin has, but Austin wont share. I am on a mission this weekend to try to teach SHARING... but i dont like my chances in 2 days. Any suggestions???

I have asked the carer to talk to the other boys mother to get her to teach him not to bite, but im not sure how that will go either...

Other than that, not much is happening. I am FINALLY back at the gym, only 2 days a week, but it is better than nothing. I ave decided that i am better off doing classes, coz i am pretty lazy out in the general gym area, so the only 2 i can do are body attack and body step, but they are alot of fun, so im happy with that.

I am shocked that next weekend is easter. Where is the year going???  The weekend after easter, we are having our kitchen, dining room and sunroom tiled, yay, no more crappy lino. I am taking Austin out to my workmates farm that weekend, she has a little girl who Austin can play with and they have little chickens and stuff which he has never seen before. I am looking forward to watching him play out there.

We have invested in a potty and we are going to start toilet training soon.... well as soon as i have taught him to share lol.

OK, i have to go. Have a great weekend everyone!!

We have moved in!!!

Comment Published at 18:3718:374 comments4 comments54 Visits54 VisitsReport

It has been a loooooong couple of weeks. I have been meaning to blog for a few days, but have just been so busy.

our move went well. Shannon's mates helped us and we managed to get it all dont in 1 day.... The unpacking however, well, we are still unpacking. Dont you just hate it when you realise that a place isnt as big as you originally thuought until you get all your stuff in and go "where will we put this??"

Anyway, we are planning on doing some renovations, shannon is already pulling apart the garage so he can turn it into a music room. We will need to take out the fridge area in the kitchen coz our fridge is too big to fit in there, so it is currently living in the dining room. Along with out deep freezer.

Austin is settling in really well. So far he has only woken up 4 times crying in the middle of the night. I was expecting it to be alot more than that (especially with the heat) He adores his sandpit and has a great time chasing the dogs around with the hose. We can now let him play outside whenever he wants because alot of it is shaded.

Anyway, here are some pics. I just took them off my phone, because Austin killed my camera - apparently sand and cameras dont mix well... Oh well, what can ya do???

Hope everyone is surviving this heat ...

Do you ever???

Comment Published at 15:4015:4013 comments13 comments46 Visits46 VisitsReport

Do you ever miss the baby baby stage? I was just looking at some old pics of Austin and caught myself wishing he was still that little. Still little enough for me to pick up and cuddle whenever i wanted without him running away, or feed him without him throwing it at me, or even just play with him without tantrums being throw randomly.

Dont get me wrong, i love that he is growing up and i love watching him learn new things and do new things. But i really miss the little baby stage.

But i thought i would do a quick blog and share some of my xmas pics.

We had a lovely christmas day. Woke up nice and early and got the opening of pressent out of the way. Austin loved everything he got. Which i found to be a miracle. I thought for sure he would only like 1 or 2.

We went up to Shannons sisters place for brekkie. The kids had a ball... tearing up paper... lol.

Boxing day we went over to Mudgee to visit my Dad and Chris. Again, more paper ripping lol. Austin had fun "helping" put together the ride on lion thing with Dad.

Anyway, this really does have to be quick, so here are some pics... providing i can get into the uploader...

Austins first shower...

Comment Published at 15:1415:143 comments3 comments17 Visits17 VisitsReport

ON HIS OWN!!!

Thismorning, Austin was clutching at me, trying to drag me off somewhere. I followed him down to the bathroom, expecting him to want his toothbrush and toothpaste (this is normally what he wants in there) but he didnt. He walked straight up to the shower and tried to open the door... Me being the accomodating mummy that i am, opened it for him and he tried to climb in... clothes and all.

I undressed him and popped him in... He spent a good 10 minutes in there laughing his head off.

This is a huge deal for us... Before he was too scared to even stand in there with me or shannon, we had to be holding him, but now, he seems to be fine. This is a huge weight off my mind. Our new house doesnt have a bath and i was worried about how i was going to wash him, coz it is so difficult with him now that he is about the weight of a small truck lol.
