Brag book:look what I made,hehehehe

Every now and again every mom wants to just be like, ooooooh look at my cute kid! soooo LOOK AT MY CUTE KID 🙂
Even though he exhausts me, has wayyyy too much energy,doesn’t sleep and can even throw tantrums, I could not love him more if I tried so I thought I’d share some of my recent favourite pics….

Rare sighting of a sleeping Aidan

Get me out of here

Ohhhh I’m so crafty I made a person (saw that on pinterest and thought it was cute)

Congrads to my special girls

Two of my favourite little girls had special days this weekend. Kirsten turned 3 on Saturday (oh how time flies) and Taylor got an award at school…very proud aunt over here:

Taylor received an award for being joyful and compassionate, how sweet is that

Kirsty celebrated her 3rd birthday. She received a bunch of gifts but was most chuffed about her story books…
I see a little bookworm in the making
This is aidan “singing” happy birthday to kirsten he got a little excited with this one and was singing long after everyone else was done
Tried to get some work done with Aidan watching a cartoon on his dad’s laptop…it didn’t work for long, at all

I’m in the paper, yeah me!

So seeing my name in the newspaper is hardly a new thing, I have worked as a journalist for many a year (lol) but I stopped writing about three years ago and I’ve really missed it! (working on the design side now) So when a opportunity came up to test myself and write again, I jumped at the chance. I love hearing people’s stories and putting it on paper and I guess the narcissist in me loves seeing my name in print, hehehe.
Well today a story I did about an amazing couples romantic engagement is featured in The Herald’s new celebration section…Do check it out 🙂
*here’s hoping I get to do more in the future, writing is definitely “my happy place”

7 months and counting

Aidan and his bday buddy Lilitha are 7 months today, how time flies!

Wow can’t believe how big he is now
APPEARANCE:  The jury is still out regarding who he looks like , but I think he is just the cutest thing, all cheeks and eyes

PERSONALITY: Aidan is soooooo busy and he is getting “naughty”, tests the waters by crying for stuff but in general he is such a pleasure. He responds to music now too, and drums along to any tune playing or even when you sing (this includes lullabies, unfortunately)and he dances and sings too, very cute!

ROUTINE:  He sleeps less plays wayyyyy more and is such a danger to himself, thinks he can stand so will pull himself up against things, but since he isn’t strong enough yet you have to watch him like a hawk- he is also learning to crawl, give him a week or so and you wont be able to stop him!

LOVES: rolling around and banging everything , my lil musical prodigy 😉 – feel like he needs a drum for Christmas , but I in fact don’t need him to have one, hehehe

DISLIKES: Sleep! Still doesn’t want to sleep, ever! Also doesn’t like having to wear clothes


MOM:  Feels super guilty for him falling off the bed yesterday. Shame man, he seems great though, very resilient, I’m the one still in shock.

Picture my weekend

Soooo this weekend was quite sociable,  here are some of the things we got up too:

 

Amazingly Aidan is tiny in Robs arms and giant in mine – This doesn’t represent something we did , just showing off my little family



Rob’s cousin who was my friend first, well not before they were cousins as they are both older than I am, but I knew her as a friend before I knew her as a “cousin-in-law” (she introduced Rob and I ,actually) well she, Luchae, is getting married, and we had a kitchen tea for her the weekend 🙂 Music themed, as most everything about her is music themed, lol – Congrads and good luck lady
We had our second Mommy Group playdate this past weekend, MUCH FUN! I wore shorts, i know shock horrow, hehehe
