Jordan is almost one

The countdown is on until the first birthday.... Only 3 sleeps to go.

As we move closer to this milestone, it makes me contemplate the last year. It has been a year of such joy.... yes quite a bit of sleep deprivation, but I would take that any day over the sadness of not having a child.

He is just such a pleasure to have in our lives, he is a happy little fellow, loves to play, giggle and be the centre of attention. I just love him to bits :) Talking is going well, he babbles away all day long lol, I think he's going to be one of those children that never shuts up! He can say mum, dad, nan, bub, bird, hello, yeah, no and bye.

He is also making great gains in walking and is finally venturing off on his own without us having to coax him to walk lol. He is so proud of himself when he manages to get where he wants to go and giggles and laughs.

Birds are his favourite thing and he loves looking for them outside and whenever he hears them he will point and go bird, and will continue to point until I take him to look lol.

It is just so hard to comprehend that the last year has already passed, it's such a blur that I struggle even to remember how little he was.... I wouldn't change it for the world and he has made our lives so much fuller for being a part of it.

Jordy can walk!

Well take steps lol. He can manage about 6 or 7 in a row now :) I'm so proud of my little boy.

In 12 days time he turns one.... who would have thought the last year would go so fast. I look back at photo's of when he was a newborn, and it's hard to even believe that it's him, I think the haze of sleeplessness made it all pass in a blur.

I really really love spending time with him lately. He's so much fun, so inquisitive and just full of joy. I'm so lucky to be able to stay home with him and see all of this.

Busy Busy Busy

Gosh, I've just been busy lately..... feels like i've done nothing, but I'm always on the go.

The plaster work and painting was finally done on our house, it's been a major upheaval the last week or so with all of our furniture pulled away from the walls, plaster dust, mess..... just a pain in the butt.... They finally finished today! yay. Now I have no excuse not to clean the house lol.

Jordy also has croup..... again.... poor little mite..... We caught it a lot earlier this time so he hasn't gotten as bad thankfully.

I don't know what else has been going on, but I just feel frazzled all the time and like I never have enough time.......

I'm also so sick of my house not being organised. We moved in over a year ago and I STILL can't park in my garage..... I just want to be organised, but of course F will be working over easter so it won't get done AGAIN!

ugh ugh ugh! Can you pay someone to organise your life??

I'm looking forward to this movie

Is it sad that I look forward to animated kids movies than some of the crap that is released for "adults"??

oops

I haven't updated in a while.

I have been busy working on a project.

I play hatchlings on facebook and have been developing a website to go along with this (and a forum) to help thousands of people out :)

I'm also still doing my swimming twice a week - go me!

Jordy has also been a delight the last week, he's been in a much better mood, so we've been having fun :)

I did it!

I went to the pool this morning, put Jordy in the child minding, and I swam....

lap after lap after lap.

I thought I was going to die after 200m but I kept going and just got into a rhythm.

It was great!

All that deep breathing, the solitude........ bliss

I feel so great.

I ended up swimming a whole kilometre :)

OK so I did cheat and use fins, but hey I haven't done laps in over 10 years and I'm so unfit!

Oh and Jordy was great :) he was happy baby in minding too :) only got upset once when another baby was crying lol.

And the little monkey did a big poo so they had to change his nappy lol......

So all in all a great morning, legs are feeling a tiny bit rubbery, but not too bad really :)

I will be going back next week :)

Yay, Thanks Court!
