Monthly update: 24 months

13:12
The last in my monthly update series of E now that he's a big boy at 2! Stats & clothes:  Size 2 and finally it's cold enough to break out his winter wardrobe although not quite the puffers and vests yet. It is however already time for another pair of shoes! The size 2 pants are still big around his skinny waist but the...

E Turns 2

11:25
So as usual, my plans for a small celebration went out the window and E's second birthday became an extravaganza of Toy Story fun. It can't be helped really with a big family who live locally and lots of family friends we've grown up with nearby so rather than risk offending anyone, we went with 'the more the merrier.' Given Es long running...

2 under 2 - life lately

10:49
I am officially THAT mother... You know, the one who dresses her children in matching outfits. I figure I've only got limited time on this so I might as well have some fun with it. My sister tells me it's a form of cruelty but I enjoyed the Country Road sale and the boys now also have matching printed board shirts for summer...

Clothes:  size 0000 but we've noticed some onesies getting a little too short length wise so have started using 000 wonder suits - nothing...

Charley Bear - 4 week old you

08:39
When I was planning your 4 week old photograph, I never expected it would be in Intensive Care. With your big brother and I both being snotty and having a 'naughty cough', I figured it was inevitable that you too would experience a bit of a cold. You had been a bit snuffly early in the week so I had the vaporizer going...

Weekend fun

21:12
I always laugh and identify with the e-card that says 'woohoo it's Friday! Oh wait, I'm a mum' because weekends just aren't what they used to be... not even close. In a lot of ways, they're so much better because I have two amazing little boys to share them with but let's face it, none of us would knock back a 10am sleep...
