62 - Happy 18 Years

Its our wedding anniversary today.

Aidan and I are in TSV and J is in Bris.

We have been together for a while but married for 2 <--feels like a long time so we say 18 years.

We got married at sunrise on the beach at Palm Cove.

So when we eventually move to Cairns we will be able to go back to the same spot and celebrate.

61 - Curled Toes

I have a foot phobia.

I hate looking at feet, I hate people looking at my feet, I hate dirty feet, I hate my feet being touched.

Have I passed this on to Aidan?

The little humbug curls his toes when I put socks on him.
Its cute but very frustrating!

60 - A little bit of sickly sweet

I need to have at least one of these when they hit the shops each year.

I don't think I ate them when I was a child but now I just can't help myself.

59 - Real Estate

More Cairns real estate.

These photos are from one house.
I don't even know where to begin.
Perhaps in the last pic with the glass sliding door into the ensuite?

58 - Sunday Walkies

How cute are my boys?

The stripey pants that Aidan has on were retired without being worn but it was cool on Sunday morning so out they came.

57 - I am awesome

Even if I do say so myself.

Here I was 2 years ago.


And here I am today.

56 - Garden

We have been at our house for 2 years now which is hard to believe.

J has done a lot of work on the garden with many trips to Bunnings. I think J gets quite antsy when I go with him so he flies solo on these outings.

This photo was taken before we moved in.

I took the following photos this morning....what a change!

J also painted the side fences and has left our 'mark' for when we move.

I will do the backyard update soon.

55 - Eye Bath

My poor eye!

I was cleaning the fans and got dust in my eye and no matter what it would not come out.
I went to the chemist and got an eye bath and some saline to flush through it.
I hate anything to do with eyes so this was not a pleasant experience.

54 - Mr Independant

J feeds the little man an expressed bottle each morning.
Apparently he can do it on his own now.

53 - What the animals have instore for them.....

I received an email today with pictures of dogs in various costumes.
Perhaps I have even dressed up our animals.
I imagine Aidan will be able to blame me if this were to happen when he is a little older.....

This picture was included in the email, I have seen it before but it always makes me smile!

52 - Thank you Aunty Chris!

Mail.
Again...so soon?

Thankfully I love opening mail and he needs me to do this for him.

These bonds panties (yes thats what WE call them, even his nappies get called panties - poor baby) are the best!

They are perfect for the hot climate but are so hard to find!

I am not a fan of just a nappy when out so they are excellent 'panties' :)

51 - Aidan gets mail

Aidan got his first letter in the mail today!
His hospital certificate.

I was happy my name was before J's (who did all the hard work?) - yes its always a competition!

50 - Tummy time

The Little Man is getting a lot stronger!

He can now push up when he is on his tummy and can hold himself in position for quite a while.

I love the little rolls on his arms in this photo!

49 - Fruit Salad - Yummy Yummy

My new favourite CD!

When Aidan has day sleeps we listen to Christmas carols and I am done with them!

J bought some CDs for him on ebay and they arrived this week.
The Wiggles are so much fun!
The songs are catchy and good for dancing.
Aidan likes a bit of heavy rocking and patting when going to sleep so this works a treat!

48 - New bed covers

The dogs love their beds but they are due for new covers.

To an extent they like sleeping on the old ones in the 'hole' but it is time to replace them.

Aka will wear out both beds but Starzy would rather sleep on a wooden chair then go on his bed.

Little humbug!

47 - Not so red velvet

This morning I made some cupcakes FF style.
They are supposed to be red velvet but I wasn't sure how much red colouring to add - I guess I will know to use more next time.
No picture of the icing as it is a little lumpy - most of my kitchen is packed ready for the move so I make do.
I used a cream cheese icing...Yum!

46 - Sitting up

I took this video after feeding the Little Man. I wanted to capture him when he is 'milk drunk' but he wasn't having any of that this morning.

Over the past week he has been trying to sit up..more of a force his body forward - he tends to do this when he is strapped into the pram or car seat but this morning it came out of nowhere.

He is lying in my lap on a pillow so he isn't completely flat on his back and he is holding himself up for a good amount of time so I am still proud :)

P.S Chubby cheeks anyone?

45 - Daily Breakfast

This entry is inspired by Elise and her recent breakfast post.

This is my daily breakfast. I had this when I was in hospital and I still have it now. Mind you, in hospital I also had a little bread roll smothered in crunchy peanut butter afterwards.

I actually enjoyed the hospital food...I must be the only person to admit this! But it was nice and also knowing that after you eat someone will come and collect the dishes is a plus.

And it was fun filling out the menu card each day also. <-- I think J enjoyed this more then me!

I am sure I will get sick of this soon enough and move onto one of my old faithfuls.

44 - Crawler

Crawler already?
Our 'new born' nappies are running out and given that he was over 5kgs when he was last weighed we thought no more new born nappies for him.
But crawler?
Where has my baby gone!!

43 - To market to market

We went to the markets today.
We didn't buy anything aside from a coconut drink thingy for J - he loves these things. I forgot the camera so will have to get a pic of him next time.

After the markets we went and got a coffee...talk about an animal farm at McDonalds....yes I like McCafe coffee. Kids going crazy and just being disgusting in general.

Here we are before we headed out.

And the Little Man...note the shoes - his third pair!
They are very cute and the photo doesn't show but on the white stripe down the front is silver stars.
One more pair to go.
