My Baby is 9 months old today. It has gone so quickly, it feels like yesterday that we were bringing her home from hospital. She was so small when she was born and we stressed for weeks trying to get her to put on weight and now she is this big girls with the biggest cheeks. We get so many comments on the size of her cheeks and everyone feels they need to squeeze them.

It is so different to when Josh was a baby, at 9 months Josh was walking around holding on to things and walking unaided at 10 months and Amy isn't even crawling yet. Josh was still waking up every 2 hours overnight at 9 months and Amy sleeps 12-13 hours.  By 9 months Josh had 6 teeth, Amy has none. Josh was never babysat when he was a baby and i had him with me 24 hours a day until he was 2, Amy had her first overnight stay when she was 5 weeks old. So many things we do are different.

Just an update on how the family is,

Amy is still sick, we are heading into the 3rd week of this cold that she has. Her Asthma is playing up again and she is back on the ventolin. She just can't shake this cold, she will be ok for a day then wake up the next morning and be sick again.

Josh has been playing up a bit but we are putting it down to him just trying to test the boundrys. He has started to hit people when he doesn't get his own way and has started throwing his toys when he does get into trouble. So he has been spending a bit of time in his room as we try to work out other ways of getting past this. The toilet training has gone out the window in the last few days as he just doesn't want to sit on the toilet but we are just going to keep at it.

Me, i am just counting down the days till we are on holidays. We go away at the end of August for a whole week, our first family holiday and i can't wait. Since Hubby started his new job we don't see one another half as much as we did. He leaves the house at 7am and doesn't get home till 6 some nights. This has gone from him getting home at 3:30 everyday. He now also works Saturdays so we miss seeing him then as well. So this holiday can't come quick enough.

Anyway must finish here, i don't think Amy is going to sleep today because i can hear her having a party in her cot.

Hope everyone is doing well, Bel i hope you get better soon,

Love Juzzy

Well i guess it's time for another blog.

Hubby is away for the weekend, it is his yearly trip away with the boys. It is the first time i have done it by myself with the 2 kids so it is going to be very interesting to see how it goes.

We warned Josh that Daddy was going away for a few days. Josh has seperation issues so we need to tell him for a few days in advance. It was so funny when hubby was packing this afternoon Josh was saying that daddy was going to hospital. We couldn't work out why he was saying this until we worked out the last time the bag was used was when i went into hospital to have Amy. I hope he doesn't think that daddy is coming home with another baby.

About 10 minutes after hubby left i had both the kids crying because it was dinner time and i just couldn't get it to them fast enough. But by 6:45 this evening i had 2 sleeping children so i was happy. Not sure what to do with myself now.

I am taking the kids away for a few days on Monday to my sister's house in the country so i guess i can spend the weekend packing for that. It is going to be hard to have the kids by myself for 5 days all up. Oh well i guess hubby owes me big time when he gets home.

Everything else is going fine. Amy is finally better. She is off the ventolin for the moment and Josh is finished the antibiotics so hopefully we can keep them healthy for a few weeks. Amy seems to be teething so we will see how she goes over the next few days.

Anyway best finish, Hope everyone else is well and all the pregnant ladies are keeping well.
