WALKING!!!!

That's right you read correctly.. Harrison is walking now... He started walking along furniture a few weeks ago, but is now walking along anything that will hold him up. Mum bought a walker for him to play with at her place and he walks along holding it 1 handed. He thinks he's just it. He's decided that he doesn't like crawling much anymore, you have to hold his hand and walk with him. He is still a bit unsteady on his own, but last night took 3 steps on his own before realising what he did. It's so cute to watch. So I'm guessing it won't be too long now and he'll be walking on his own. NNNOOOOO!!! Where has my baby gone.

Starting to gear up here for December. It's the worst month of the year for us. Not just because of Christmas but 4 birthdays and 1 wedding anniversary.. Phoebe the 8th, Harrison the 9th, my uncle the 29th and me the 30th. And then our Wedding Anniversary also on the 30th. And then of course Christmas on the 25th.

We have already paid for the girls tickets to come for Christmas this year. It's going to be nice, the first time in the 7 Christmases Rich and I have been together, that we've had the girls ALL of Christmas day. Usually it was Christmas morning us - Christmas afternoon annette and then vice versa the following year, but with us being here in Adelaide now it makes it a bit difficult. So the girls are arriving on Friday the 14th at 9am or something like that. We can't wait to see them. James knows that they're coming soon, and so everytime we go out. "Mummy we go airport and see Gisten and Bebe on pane." I have to keep telling him that we will see them soon. So at least we know that he is really excited about seeing the girls.

Not much else to report here at the moment. Mainly wanted to fill you in on what Harry boy is doing.

Mid week mayhem

Not much to report this week.

Oh I don't know if I've said anything yet, but I went out a few weeks ago and got all my hair chopped off. Will see if I have a pic on my comp. It's quite short. But it's soo much easier to manage in a morning. Just have to brush, put gel in and off I go. Whoo hoo.. I love it.. Have to go back in a week or two and get it cut again as it's grown and has lost the look that I was after. But I'm happy with it.

Only 3 and a bit weeks until my Harry boy is 1.. Where has the year gone. It only hit me a few days ago, that 3 weeks after Harry's birthday is my birthday. I'd kind of forgotten about that, what with Phoebe's birthday, then Harry's, then Xmas I don't have time to think about me anymore. I'm pretty confident that I have all of Harrison's present, and will go out when the girls arrive and buy something from them to give to Harrison for his birthday. We won't be doing anything special for his actual birthday, might just go to Mum's for dinner, but the following weekend, we will be having a party for him. Again it won't be a big thing, and no where near as big as James's first birthday was, but we'll still have something.

Speaking of the girls. I can't belive that it's only 4 weeks and they will be here.. The 12 weeks inbetween their visits is getting shorter and shorter. Maybe I'm just getting busier and busier. What did Rich and I work out today.. My week consists of something like this.. Mondays - Personal training session at the gym, Tuesdays - Work, Wednesdays - Slim session at the gym, Thursdays - Housework, Fridays - finally a day at home with the boys doing nothing, Saturdays - Shopping with Mum and Sundays - spending some family time with Rich. No wonder the weeks are flying by at the moment.

James has gone back to sleeping in his cot. He didn't want the big boy bed just yet. Which is fine by me, I don't mind either way. The side is still off the cot, so all we have to do is swing the cot around and it's a big boy bed. But it's up to him. Mum and I decided the other day that after Xmas, in the new year, we are going to start TTing James. He's now 2 1/2 so we figure that he's well and truly at that age.

Ok well will leave it there at it's bed time.. Hope everyone is well..

Had heaps of fun today though trying to get some pics of the boys for Christmas Cards. Neither of them wanted to sit still or smile. Luckily we managed to get a few. Here are a couple of the better one.

We have a BIG BOY in the family!!!!

Well I'm pleased to announce that we have a BIG BOY in the house!!

The last few days I've taken the side off of James's cot and he's slept in it during the day, well last night I left it off, and guess what??

HE SLEPT ALL NIGHT!!! whhooo hoooo!!! YAYAYAY!!! I was soo happy.. So next weekend Rich and I will be putting the big boy bed up for James. And as a special treat for going into a big boy bed, we will get him a Thomas the Tank engine or Bob the Builder quilt cover set. Which ever he wants more.

It's too scary to think that my baby is growing up.
