Grandad. and Karen, Matt, Chris and James. as well as numerous other things today.. Including a bloody chalk board..... Thanks Karen!! lol

10 Months

Zayne turned 10 months on monday,

these pics were all taken that day..

He was absolutely miserable,

Not sure if it was his top teeth moving up and down or if he was sick.

But he had so much snot it was ridiculous..

So no smiley pics this time, lol, you just get him as he was...

So at 10 Months Zayne is:

• 12.6 kg.. He is such a chunky bubba!!
• 76.5cm long.. Quite short compared to his weight..
• Walking... He toddles all over the place now, would much rather walk than crawl although crawling gets him there much quicker. Sometimes he can walk the length of the house othertimes he gets only a few steps and falls on his bum.. All part of the learning process though and I'm sure he will be running in no time lol. (First steps July 24th.. 9 1/2 Months)
• Playing with the kids a lot more. He absolutely adores Jed, and often follows him around like a little puppy dog :0)
• Eating soooo much more of our foods. Haven't actually seen him reject anything in his 9th month that I can recall. He has eaten things he wouldn't even let get near his mouth a few months ago... Including Spaghetti Bog, Lasagna, Enchilada's, Tuna Casserole, Plenty of Meats and Veg. He loves his Veggies, especially greens like Broccoli, Zucchini etc. He will now even eat mashed potato.. So massive improvement there!!
• He has taken to pulling things out of drawers. Especially Jed's clothes and our DVD's.
• Waving. When he feels like it, doesn't yet put it to a Hello or Goodbye.
• Pointing. He often points and yells 'DO DO DO DO' lol, you really feel told off when he does it to you. I often get it in the afternoon when Mark gets home, lol like he is telling on me.. Not sure what it is I do wrong lol....
• Clapping. Once again when he feels like it. He does often clap when he is standing up though, thinks he's pretty clever.
• Can now hold his own bottle, on occasion, he has been very lazy in doing that!! He would rather swing it around and play with it though.
• Loves his bath time, think it is his favourite time of the day. Still puts up the biggest fight when getting dressed after the bath though.. It's funny he only does it after his bath.... In the mornings he is fine..?
• Wearing size 0's and 1's.. Depending on the actual clothes, both are fitting him quite well. And size 5 shoes.. OMG he is such a spoilt little bugger with his clothes and shoes. He has soooo many..... :-) he he
• Had the most horrible month for sleeping. Waking everynight between around 10.45pm and 12.30pm, and then would not sleep unless he was in our bed. Then he would kick the crap out of me all night, and wake everytime he moved or I moved... Very very frustrating. I had the biggest black bags under my eyes I had ever seen, I could have been packing for the trip of a lifetime LOL...
• He is getting a little better in the pram, he doesn't whinge quite so much, although I do still carry him most places.. lol all 12.6kg of him...
• He quite enjoys shopping so long as he is sitting in the trolley. He sits up there and gives everyone his cute little baby smiles. He hasn't started trying to climb out of the trolley or pram yet either.. I don't imagine it will be long before that starts.

Well what a ramble that was lol...

** On the sleep subject, since monday night he has actually been pretty good. He was sick that night, went to sleep early and back up at 10pm, after that didn't get back to sleep till almost midnight, then slept till 6am, then in bed with me. Everynight since he has been in bed at 8.30, and slept till around 2.30 am - ish. He has a bottle in his cot and back to sleep in his cot til around 7.30 am. I am still usually up for 1.5 - 2 hours, but its heaps better than all night!! I even put him in bed awake last night and he put himself to sleep, then again for nap time today.. With NO crying!! So thats only been 4 nights now, we will see how it goes...

He Walks....

Only 4 - 6 steps at a time,

but he was going back and forwards between Me and Mark tonight.

At 10.45pm... The kid that never sleeps!!

I haven't even got any pics of him standing on his own yet and he's already taking steps..

Love this pic..

It's like he's asking "what do you keep looking at back there mum??" lol

Some Scrapping

LOL don't fall over with shock,

but I have been scrapping.

I don't really love any of them but it has been

soooo long since I done anything and I

really just wanted to get back into it.

This was the first one I done for ages...

had been trying but just couldn't do it!!

So it's just a bit of a funny one :-)

This one I done months ago but never showed..

I also have some more that I have done that I haven't shown,

but I will leave them for another time.

lol sorry about all the dodgy pics

Just going to get to the point while he is sleeping.

At 8 Months:

• He weighs 11.42 kg.
• He is 73.5 cm long.
• Head is still 46 cm.
• He is a terrible sleeper at night. Doesn't like to sleep unless being held, and even then wakes up numerous times during the night!
• He is fairly good with his daytime sleeps now though.
• He is the fussiest eater ever.. Wont try anything new at all, it drives me crazy! Loves his custards, cereals and pumkin and sweetcorn. Also likes toast and sandwiches.
• Says Dad, Dadda, Bub, Bubba, Go, Gone, All Gone, Hello Dad, Mum.
• Loves his bath time, Hates getting dressed afterwards..
• Loves to be naked... Too bad its a bit cold this time of year though!

• Is pulling himself up on everything and cruising around.
• Has started exploring the house.
• Gives big kisses and cuddles.
• Slaps alot. Rather hurts a bit too :-(

Thats about all I can think of..

Pics were taken in Bermi on Sunday 7th, 3 days before he was 8 months..

Little Teeth

Just captured a pic of them cute little teeth that are just poking through...

So cute.. :-)

You may be able to tell we were at the beach.. lol

So Cute...

How cute are these teensy little DC's...

I love em.. :-)


I am supposed to be packing to go to Bermi,
but am waiting for clothes to dry,
and can't get into the cupboard to get the suitcases coz I will wake Zayne up..
Am also sorting baby girls clothes to give to a couple of different people.
Thats making me a little sad.

Can't find my spare battery for my camera or my battery charger
and my battery is flat.
I'm hoping they are still in Mark's car
or IM NOT GOING!!!
Can't go with no camera!!


He's awake..
Packing here I come!!
:-(



Have a good long weekend!

Tag

Got this tag from Mum..

Also got the 8 Things tag,

Was writing it out but am tired and cranky so I thaught it best not to put up my stupid answers to it right now..

Not going to pass it on though as every blog I have seen has already had it..

I think

Forgot to add....

Forgot to add in my last post..

Zayne cut his first 2 bottom teeth today.

Jed's 8th Birthday.. and some Farm pics.

Just have a few pics to show from Jed's 8th Birthday,

and some pics from the Farm on the weekend.

Too Many Lollies!!

LOL I love these fake teeth,

they are cool.

I wanted a pic of all the kids with fake teeth but they all took off before I got the chance.

His party was at the park this year...

much better idea than having it at home i think.

They had plenty of room to run around,

could be as noisy and messy as they wanted,

Play equipment to play with,

Tree's to climb in,

Think we will do that again!!

Blowing out the candles..

He got lots of pressies he wanted this year,
he now has the full range of LEGO power miners,
some bi-onicles,
a lamp, new doona cover, some clothes,
DS games,
a bit of money, etc
******

We went wood-carting at Dad's farm on the weekend,
got a few pics while Mark was cutting the wood,
just going to put a couple up here.

This is one of Auni's pumpkin's..

Jed with Mark's hat on..

I like this one of him, he doesn't have his crazy look on like usual.

Zayney...

He was bitching when I took this,

think the smile was coz he thaught I was going to pick him up. LOL

What a grot...

Eating the dirt and rocks..

Played with this one to give it the rich colours,

was a bit plain otherwise...

Sunset on the way home,

headed into Batlow from Dad's..

7 Months

You know, I really thaught that by the time he was 7 months old he would have settled a bit..

But he is still cranky most of the time, unless he has my full attention on him.

Drives me crazy especially when i'm making dinner... Seems Mark always has something else he needs to do, So I get screamed at the whole time..

He is getting up 3 times a night again..

Not even making it to midnight before he wakes up for the first time, and then usually spends the rest of the night in my bed otherwise as soon as I put him in the cot he wakes up screaming.

It's driving me absolutely crazy, and I have permanent dirty big black circles under my eyes!!

He is ALWAYS hungry, but is the pickiest eater out...

Wont eat mashed potato at all, picks at it a little if i put it on the high chair tray, other wise wont touch it.

Wont eat most veggies.

Has also started chucking one when he gets fed the pumpkin and sweet corn baby food jars.. Which was the only one he would eat.

If we try and give him something different he throws the biggest tantrums!!

He will eat bread though, and lots of it.... although most ends up on the floor.

LOL so as you may be able to tell i'm not having the best of weeks....

So anyway...

at 7 months:

• Weighs 10.82 kg
• Length is 71.5cm (i think...)
• Head 45cm (i think...)
• He is crawling properly, and everywhere.. Doesn't really commando at all anymore.
• Pulls himself up on everything.
• Falls off most things... I'm sure he will have a permanent imprint of the table leg on his forehead if he keeps it up, lol.
• Has stood not holding anything for about 5 seconds-ish a few times.
• He is into EVERYTHING!! Especially likes the DVD player, DVD drawers, and power points!!
• Walks along things.
• Walks along holding my hands.
• Has 2 sleeps most days, depending on if his routine gets interrupted, them he usually has none.... Which results in him bitching at me allllll day.
• Still wears size O
• Says 'dad', 'dadda', 'bub', 'go', 'gone', 'mum'. Its all really just babble, but you can really hear the words in there.

I'm sure there is more, but can really not think of it...

Might come back and add it if i can remember..

******

Pics were all taken Sunday 10th May.

Mothers Day

at Rotary Park

Quick catch up..

These are just a couple of pics from the last school hols,

when mum come up for a couple of days..

My 3 kiddo's... Of course not looking at the camera,

coz they just can't i'm sure.

So it's not the best, but i like it..

Mum, Sheri, Tiff, Jed, Tani and Zayne..

Almost all looking at the camera!!

So life has been busy, with working for Mother's Day, etc,
and I really haven't been on here much.
Have to add Zayne's 7 Month pics, and what he's been up to..

Just have to wait till I go to the clinic tomorrow and get him weighed.
Need to do this so I can remember when I go to write in his baby book..
Have been slack, slack, slack..
Jed's 8th b'day is tomorrow,
so i'm busy with that cooking cakes etc.
Love my kids b'days but love them even more when they are over!!
Jed's room is on the way to being finished,
Mark is gradually geting the bed put up.
Still needs door frames and skirting boards in there, but the window is in,
and the walls and roof are painted,
and the new carpet has been layed.. (just in his room)
Can't wait till its done!!

Anyway off to do some stuff now that Zayne is FINALLY having his morning nap.
