Update.

Sorry it's been so long since I updated the blog but I've been super busy organising Thomas's christening, cleaning the house and trying to get a job...phew I'm exhausted!

So what have we been up to? Erm...we went to Reuben's 1st birthday party last weekend after we all had our hair cut...even Thomas had a little trim! I had a total style change and see the picture below to see what Thomas thought of it! Luckily he likes it now!!

A very sad little T!!

Having fun at R's birthday party

Thomas giving kisses to the twins...very sweet!

Thomas loves to do colouring in and painting (not with real paint it's the books where you only have water on the brush and the water changes colour on impact with the paper!) Thomas loves to watch birds in the garden so every meal time we put bread out for them and we get around 50 or so birds on the grass just in front of the patio doors. Because of his love of the birdies Mormor and Morfar have given Thomas a lovely bird table as a christening gift and they dropped it off this week. We've put it just outside the patio door but think it's too close to the house and will have to move it further away as they don't like to see T that close up...i.e T with his face right up aginst the glass, shouting "DARH!" and then banging on the glass!!!

Here are a few photos with Mormor and Morfar.

We went to Stevie's birthday BBQ a few weeks ago and Thomas loved playing with the older children. One our friend's little girl to a real fancy to T and kept kissing him and wouldn't leave him alone...very sweet! We had a great time and Thomas was such a good boy we didn't leave there until 9pm so he had a very late night ad even had a bit of a lie in the next morning..YIPPPEEE!!

T is definely sleeping a lot better these days thank goodnes! He tends to go bed between 7pm-7.30pm and then doesnt wake up until around 4.30am. I usually feed him and he'll go back to sleep (usually in our bed though!!) until 6am to 7am. Simon and I know that we should feel so much better for a good night's sleep but we often wake up on our own and then can't get back to sleep as we're so used to being up and awake with him during the night!!!

Thomas and I went out for lunch on Wednesday this week with Mormor, Morfar and their friend Christine to celebrate their wedding anniversary. We had such a lovely time and T was so well behaved and sat in the high chair and ate his lunch like a good boy! Everyone that came past us had to stop and say hello to him and of course he loved the attention and gave them all big grins and lots of waves.

having lots of fun with the slot machines

I'm sure he's thinking "byebye mummy you can leave me here with Mormor and this fantastic machine!!"

The weather has been a lot hotter all week and it's even been too hot to go for our long walks and even to sit out in the garden. So T has been running around inside and creating lots of mess...what a little pickle we have!

This week he has also started to feed himself food on a fork and he loves it as he thinks it's really cool and big boy stuff!

We're now on count down to the christening and are really excited, I just hope my cold/flu thing goes quickly so I can get on with things!
