Just Being a Mum

I just really like this picture  of Little Miss, so had to put it on the blog.

Wow where did that go. It is hard to believe that Little Miss turned 2. What a day it was.

Happy Birthday Little One, you will still always be our baby.

Sorry that it didn’t turn out to be the greatest birthday, but at least you are little and didn’t really know what was going on.

The story is that Little Misses Daddy was running for the train on the way home from work on Friday night and he tripped and broke his leg, he ended up in emergency on the night of little miss’ birthday. Her birthday party with family was canceled on the Saturday night as Daddy was

You will all be pleased that little miss has decided that is it Ok to sleep in her bed now. YAY!!!

It has taken a while but we have finally done it. The little Man is still sleeping in our bed until I go to bed and then I put  him back in his own bed. But I think that we should be able to get him to start in his own bed tomorrow night, we will just have to see how it goes.

Daddy sits just inside the door and she stays in her bed and just goes off to sleep instead of the constant getting up and down and sleeping

After Monday’s sleeping saga, I know that you are all wondering how we went last night and tonight with the little monster and her sleeping.

Last night was amusing, we started off with the normal not wanting to sleep. Put the little man in our bed to sleep just in case. We just carried on with the putting back into bed routine. It finally went quiet around 8.20pm, 22 times of putting her back. We breathed a sigh of relief, finally she had gone quiet.

We were sitting there thinking, we should just leave her for a few more minutes, in case she is not asleep. So this is what we did.

I know that you don’t really want to hear my problems, but maybe some one out there is having the same issues with their child as I am with mine, and we can help each other out.

It just makes me want to scream, I am sure anyone that is or has been a Mum has felt this feeling. Don’t get me wrong I love them both to death, and I wouldn’t hurt them in any way. It is just a feeling. Being a parent is hard work let me tell you.

This is what has made me so cranky

Little Miss has decided that all of a sudden we are not going

Oh my, my little girl is growing up so fast. I must say that the second child just seems to shoot up with out you even noticing. It is hard to believe that she was ever a little baby in arms, the baby stage seemed to just fly by and now we are getting first haircuts.

I initially just intended the little man to have his hair cut, he hates it when it starts to get in his eyes, so it is straight of to the hair dresser to have a trim. Well I had little miss with me and asked the lady what she thought, if she thought that it

Toddlers

Little Man is doing really well now, and has managed to make it past the terrible twos/threes stage and is slowly making it over the top to the hill.

Little Miss is a totally different story, I never realised how different boys and girls really are until you have one of each.

Little Miss was a very plasid and gentle baby, she would sleep really well and just goo and gaa like a good little baby, we really thought that she was going to be such a little gem. Well didn’t that change as she has grown up a bit, she is a bit of a monster child. Lucky she is cute!.

Little Miss’s First Ice-cream On a Stick

Little Miss has eaten Ice-cream from a spoon, but from a stick was a whole new thing. She seemed to really enjoy it, and she managed to eat the whole thing, making a LOT of mess. I did think to my self that she would make a mess so she was only wearing her T-shirt, Bib and nappy.

The First Bite

Ooo it is bit cold on my teeth

Now I am getting used to this

Mmmmm Yum this is good

It is strange when I think of eating an ice-cream, I now wonder what

This is Our Story So Far - Part 1 - Little Man

Then we come to Little Miss, she is another story all together. Again we had to take the magic pills to conceive, but at least we knew what we were dealing with this time. We are one of the lucky ones to have one of each, we was sure through the whole pregnancy that it was going to be another boy, but I was mistaken. J was blown away, he was kissing the mid wife he was so happy.

I really wanted to breast feed but I am sorry to say that I didn’t even attempt it this time around.
