You're 23 months
I cant believe you're almost 2!
:: You're speech is coming along. Something new every day. You are starting to put a couple of words together now and you understand so much. I love our conversations and listening to you talk to others.
:: You can easily count to 10 out loud and we can make out the ABC song even though not all the letters are clear. The tune definitely is.Along with Intsy Wintsy and Baabaa Black Sheep.
:: Still with the transport. You still point out every single bus. Even managing to find them before I do.
:: Your eyesight is impeccable. I love the way you view the world. You take everything in. Stuff which us adults just take for granted. I love learning with you.
:: You have now given your beloved Seahorse a name-Seesaw. Love.
:: You make every word sound so cute. Sushi, Taco, Seesaw, snuggles, the list goes on. Daddy and I make you repeat so many things just to hear your cuteness!
:: You're bed is filling up with all your favourites. Some are regular characters like Yoshi, Monkey, Hoot, port car and Seesaw but sometimes you sneak in an extra car or train, Brown bear book and one day even your new massive bus to bed!
:: You now call my brother , your uncle, Matty. Again said with delightful cuteness.
:: Unfortunately you have caught your first cold. And im sure its one of many again this winter. lets hope your immune system is slightly better than last year.
:: You mostly love food. Still struggle with the veggie side but we continue to try. Some days are much better than others but hey, youre not starving so that the main thing!
:: We see slight glimpses of tantrums but we certainly cant complain. And its usually because your tired or just having a grumpy day. But because youre generally so good, I panic at the sign of one thinking you've turned into a monster! But then you calm down and snuggle up for cuddles and I feel like I won that battle...for now.
:: You LOVE watching videos of yourself on Mummies phone. 'Photos' 'Photos' you say. Youre quite Iphone savvy now. My little tech baby!
:: Oh and you dont mind watching DVD over and over and over and over again. The latest craze is Justine Clarks DVD with the 'Dinesaur' song. You LOVE dinosaurs too :) Such a boy.
We love you to the moon and back Little Man. We are always so, so grateful to have you in our lives.

Today- The Day I was Pining
Today was one of those days where I was pining for time with my son. I think because on the weekend we were so busy with organising and building our shed, I didnt get to spend much good, quality time with him. And I miss him so much today.
Sparked by IG, I saw photos of other mums tending to appointments, school runs, shopping dates and hanging with their babies and I was really feeling sorry for myself.
As some of you may know, Ive worked full time since Little Man was 7mths old and normally it doesnt bother me too much. I mean, of course Id love to be at home with him but I do like my work and I know hes having a great time hanging with Daddy, my mum or his mates at child care. And I especially love the moment when we get reunited again at the end of the day.
Today I just wanted to be 'Homemaker Mummy'. Waking up to his smiley face, getting his milk and having those morning snuggles. Feeding him brekky whilst I enjoy my morning coffee. Chinking our drinks when he cheekily says 'Cheers'! Letting him loose outside, whilst co-ordinating hanging out a load/s of washing, going for a walk to the playground, reading books, pottering around whilst he naps, getting dinner ready and doing some baking.
Im not trying to make it sound being a SAHM is the easiest gig around. I know I probably have it easy some days being at work but somedays you just wish more than others, to be at home with your kids. My ultimate work/life balance would be a PT worker then I could kinda have my cake and eat it too :)
Anyway, back to the grind again tomorrow. Maybe time to book some more holidays!!

3 Things Thursday

It was a great night, being able to relax , have a few drinks and not have to worry about driving home to relieve a babysitter. I did miss him like crazy though. Funny how youre body clock changes so easily. Despite having a late checkout, we were both up initially around 6am but managed to 'sleep in' until 8:30am. Then we had to get up.
OUR SLAB IS DOWN!
We already have a pretty big shed but we'll be turning that into the 'man cave/band room' and this will be the site for
I pre-warn those who want to marry musicians: Make sure you have a large enough house in order to store all of their crap!!
The shed will be up this weekend. Never been so excited about a shed before!
Not sure of where they'll end up but couldnt pass them up at that price.
