Charlie turned one




Well how fast does a year go by, let me tell you it goes very, very fast when you have a new baby that suddenly turns ONE!! My golly, golly gosh, I really love the fact that Charlie is just about walking. As he stands unaided waiting for that little bit more confidence that will alow him to take that very step that will thrust him into a toddler.... With each day I see the confidence building and in a way I can't wait but at the same time I feel the pang of sandness wash over me as I no longer have a little baby anymore.


Untill next time........ I hope to ttc next month or so... It took one month to fall with Henry and six months to fall with Charlie, we or should I say I was hoping for an 18month age gap but got two years so this time I am aiming for two years so lets see what happens.... I feel for all the woman whose blogs I read who have so much trouble falling so I should and I do feel very blessed for the two precious boys we have..


We had a little party at playgroup for Charlie and it was very nice and fuss free. Henry is doing really well with going to the toilet, I may even venture to Albany pullup free tomorrow although I probably just jinxed it by writing this on here.

Upgrade


I'm pretty excited, I upgraded from my Canon 400D to the 450D with the twin lense and I also got an external flash. Of course there is not a lot of difference between the two but I am excited non the less. Yesterday I registered to sell my photos on istockphoto, so I cant wait to see what they come back with for my three sample photos. In four weeks, easter weekend my brother gets married and I have offered to be the photographer, it was going to be a tiny wedding but suddenly it has blowen out and they are having groom and bridesmaids so I will have to learn a few tricks pretty quick smart so the photos are not just good but fantastic. I am also making well not making because we have ordered the actual cakes but I am doing the icing and the decorating of the wedding cake.

Molly and Me is not going so well at the moment, we have done a bit of advertising around the place and with the quokka. We have had an add in the quokka for two weeks so far and only got one order out of it. Tomorrow we will take some photos of the kids in winter stock and put on the website. We are also going to work out some other advertising ideas.

So Henry is three and he still is in a reggressing from toilet training. I can't stand it that he is still peeing in his pants.

Charlie is so sticky at the moment, if Damon or I leave the room then he starts screaming and doesnt stop till you come back for him. For quit a while now, when you are getting him undressed for the bath he lifts his legs one at a time to have his pants taken off. He chucks the shits by putting his head down between his legs and cries. He will be one in just over a week, I can't believe it.

Pirates, Pirates, Pirates










We just had a week in Perth and Mandurah visiting with friends and family. Crystal, Simon and Jake come over from QLD so we court up with them in Perth and then went to Mandurah for two nights to see them again. We had Shane and the girls come over with Linda and we all went to the park for a play and lunch and Tracey met us there and it was really nice. We then headed to the water park for a swim (pretty hot day) and then a lovely italian restaurant for dinner. While in Perth we headed to the Zoo, Henry and Charlie really loved that. We also court up with Aunty Hilary and Geoff and the girls. Of course we also made it to Ikea for a fun filled morning, I never bore of that place. Had also planned on catching up with Kristy and Sarah but there just was not time.

When we got home I had two very busy days getting ready for Henrys Pirate Party. All the kids had a lot of fun even though I didnt play any games. They all played and ate. Cant believe Henry is 3 already and Charlie will be one in two weeks.

Charlie is a cheeky little so and so, he is so adorable. He really loves to make you laugh and spends a great deal of time pulling funny faces and as soon as you laugh he laughs along with you.

When in Perth we ran out of Zantac and for a few days he was fine and then he started waking in the night so we put him right back on it. While he has been standing at the furniture he has let go a few times and just stood all on his own.
