Eme's 1st Christmas...& some news...though it may not be news cos I can't remember if I've posted about it or not!!

Ok, so I know these are a little late, and I also realised that I just put these photos up out of order...but who cares?

These are just a couple of photos from Christmas Day. With new photos of Landon...the the poor boy is stuck in a Santa suit, and poor Eme has 'pant issues'.

Oh, and the big news is that my little Sister is PREGNANT!! She is due June 4th! And we are SOOOOO excited!

Another little playmate for Eme! I think she is having a girl, and I have already started collecting girl things. Maybe I should ask Sarah's "waters" what she thinks Kate is having!!

Anyway...sorry if that is old news, I really can't remember!

Eme with her Mummy

This has to be one of my favourite shots with her so far

Boxing day. It was a HOT day so Eme decided to wear a wet cloth

With Aunty Kate

Landon & Emery

Poor Landon had to suffer through wearing that suit and poor Eme had to suffer through her Mother pulling her shorts up to her armpits...just for a laugh

Uncle Russ with Landon the boofta

Dontchya reckon they look alike?

Next time it'll be arsenic

Do you think it's wrong to put extra chilli in your husbands dinner bowl just because your really annoyed at him?

Tuesday night...Russell pee'd me off so I had a very loose wrist while adding extra chilli to his chilli con carn.

I even lied saying that there was the normal amount of chilli there usually is while he coughed and spluttered.

I did confess in the end...but still...I had a legitimate reason...he was peeing me off!

Ho hum

Apologies in advance for this un-thought out post!

I've been missing my blogging. I just don't feel that I can find the time to really commit to writing a decent post. Plus I don't want to bore you with posts about babies and female-stuffs all the time.

Hmmmm what can I talk about that isn't baby-oriented?

Church? Neh....haven't been doing much with all the Christmas and New Years business that goes on.

I can't even think of any other topics....so here is a boring update post on us & babies and stuff like that! SORRY!!!

It will be 8 weeks tomorrow that Eme was born. It has absolutely flown by. Which makes me sad because it means my little girl has been getting bigger!!! (I'm terrible....I'm already crying about my baby girl growing up and leaving me and she isn't even 2mths old yet!!)

Having my own child now makes me appreciate all my mum & dad did for me. Especially mum. To think I was as small as Eme once and so dependent on my mum is weird to think about. Plus, my mum was younger than I currently am when she had me! I don't know where I would be without my mum at the moment. She has advice & help which I really appreciate.

I was talking to my sister about how people always feel they can comment and give advice on parenting to you. We agreed that it is so much easier to hear from our mum than it is from other people. I respect my parents and how they raised us 'kids'. Therefore, I am fine to go to them with questions and with hearing advice. However, if anyone else does this....then I get really pee'd off. I guess you establish such a strong relationship with your parents, that it's ok for them to make comments, and when other people do it - they haven't got the same relationship and therefore, I believe, they shouldn't be trying to make comment or give advice necessarily. Does this make sense? Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Basically...if I want your advice, I will ask for it.......

Um, um, um...Eme has been sleeping through the night for nearly 2 weeks now! I'm so proud of her...she is a good girl and she really is a pretty no-fuss bub.

Only problem I'm having is that she tends to just want to be held non-stop. I can't put her down in her bouncer of let her lie on a mat thingy cos she just wants to sit on my hip and go around with me all day. It's nice to know she wants to be with me and go where I go, but please.....a little independance girly!!! I can't do EVERYTHING one handed, though I like to think that I could!!

So, I guess if anyone who reads this has had a similar issue and you managed to 'break' your child out of the habit, I'd like to know how!!!

(There....I'm asking for advice!!!!)

Anyway...I don't REALLY have anything important to talk about, so I'll leave it there. Hopefully I will find some time in the next couple of weeks and get back into blogging more regularly!

I honestly don't know how Jen does it with 5 kids!!! You must be wonderwoman!!!

Better fly....bub has awoken and is searching for a feed from her blanket...I better go grab her before she gets a furball....
