(again) Slack

Slack slack little blogger! Between birthdays and parties and sick children my time has been spread quite thin. Will share some photos this week as time allows - got a few hundred of late.

Happy Birthday to Amy!

She is now 2 years old. She had a little butterfly party at a park at Coorparoo. Lovely morning with lovely weather and a happy bunch of kids. Janene made a cool butterfly cake!

Let us all have a *great* week!
Mwah!

Big Boy

Happy Birthday Caleb!

Five years old.

We have had cake and party food coming out of our ears but could not miss out on something on his actual birthday while having a nice quiet dinner at home with our little family. Go the Freddo icecream cake!

Busy

Busy busy. The school holidays were busy with appointments for Caleb and the nights were pretty busy with a sore and sorry Griffin (his gums have big lumps, the Bonjella helps, just wish we could see something poking through to warrant his pain).

This week I am making pirate type things and preparing for Caleb's Pirate Birthday party. Today I had five loads of washing and not any time to shower. Showers are *so* nice. Mmm. I have limited time to finish preparing for the party before Friday is spent at the Royal Childrens Hospital for another round of Botox - upper and lower limb. Saturday is a right off with Caleb's best mate at school having her party in the morning followed by my cousin's party for 1 year old Max in the afternoon. Cripes, writing it all down makes it even worse.

I'm off to make some pirate sashes.

Jeez

July already? Cmon.

Quite a few things that haven't been blogged, but I had intended on.

Happy Birthday to Kate, hope you had a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday to Mel, hope you had a wonderful day.

Happy Birthday to Debbie - have a wonderful day tomorrow.

Just Jill is in town with her two girls - I will get to meet Baby Amelia next week - wahooo!

The King of Pop. Gone. He is one person who will live on through history. Michael Jackson was the music I listened to growing up. I still listen to. Timeless music that is good and easy and catchy and good. I feel quite sad for him, I wish he could have grown up from that cute little boy into a man with ease and have been comfortable in his own skin.

And this cute little boy . . . .

is crawling! He has been getting around a room with ease for a while - backwards, sidewards, anything really. He can sit, drop down on his belly & play and return back up on his bottom to sit. He loves standing up, he walks well when I hold him up by his hands, he strongly pushes himself into a hands and feet/downward dog type position, he is loving it!

Today he pulled himself up on the easel . . . and fell - the cries were from fright, from a sore head hitting the carpet, from a 'what the hell just happened?' I think if he is pulling himself up now, well, there *may* be quite a few more falls coming our way.

His crawl is delightful. Very bouncy and new. Very strong and he even leaps forward with his feet pushing as well. Delightful.

On the weekend when the mower chose to behave in an uncooperative manner, the tools came out. Two lots of tools for two mowers. Awww, so sweet!

Sweet. Well. When this sweet little thing had enough of drawing on her paper (and the table - see the large black circle?) she moved onto her hand. I caught her in action. Little (sweet) terror. We visited Caleb's little school. She has a lot of fun when we visit. Caleb gets extremely excited seeing us, he nearly bursts and gets loud - the excitement comes out in volume.

Have a great Friday and weekend. An unwell baby hasn't been fabulous for my naps, this Mummy needs to catch up.
