Day 195 - Walking with Dad

Not quite walking yet, but Henry is keen. Obviously climbing stairs and cruising around the furniture needs to move on! Henry actually stood on his own this morning for a good five seconds until he realised he wasn't holding anything; he promptly sat down right where he was. I love watching him discover all of these new things!

Day 194 - Mail Day

Amongst other things achieved today was finally posting a few items that had been waiting around at home for a while... one late birthday card, one almost on time birthday card and a very late baby gift all finally went out with a few other things. I was thinking that baby Samantha might be grown up by the time she got her present - sorry Fran and keep an eye on the post! One birthday present to go before I finally catch up.

Day 193 - Anyone Seen My Giant Notebook?

I popped into school this afternoon before picking up Henry to print up the programming I had been doing all day and the first thing I noticed when I parked out the front is that our giant pencils have been set up... aren't they cute, for something so big!

Day 192 - New Furniture

The home improvement theme continued today when Dale and I finally ordered our new table and dining chairs at Vast. In a previous post I mentioned that I had taken a look last week and that I had wanted a new square dining table for a long time. We have also been in this house coming up to 3 years and still no coffee table in our lounge room! The thing is, I didn't want a huge big table in the middle, cluttering up the floor space, so when we saw this nest of tables that matched our current tv unit and new dining table, I thought it was perfect.

Day 191 - Getting Organised

I am inspired by other people's organisation; Today my friend Peta's blog has the same post title as mine and she is someone who is always organised! Another friend's facebook status told me the other day that she had planned all of her meals for term 3! Anyway, getting organised was one of my aims for these holidays, in order to make things easier day to day. Today I picked up these great clothes hampers at the Hyperdome; the Reject Shop no less! The plan is to separate our laundry before we wash, so one for lights and one for darks. I also grabbed a couple of extra baskets to keep our window sill tidy, since our ensuite only has one little cupboard. Wish me luck!

Day 190 - First for Many

I cannot believe that Henry will be one at the end of the month, but it feels a little more real after today. My mothers' group got together today to have a big birthday party for all the babies who are about to turn one (in fact some already have). Every time I see everyone it is amazing to see how the babies have changed and it was lots of fun to see them play together today. I made the birthday cakes above and it was lovely for Henry to have his own little cupcake with a candle. I blew it out quickly as he looked a little too interested! Happy Birthday to all the bubs :-)

Day 189 - Coffee with Jess, Kaleb and Jaxon

I met up with Jess and Kaleb today in Civic for a coffee and to meet little six week old Jaxon! Just like Kinzie, I can't believe how tiny he is and how big Henry is! Henry had a great time crawling around chasing Kaleb, who is 4. Luckily at that time of day Babars was pretty empty and they had most of the floor to themselves! After spending two days catching up at home and two days catching up with friends for coffee I think that my school work may be calling me... I knew it would find me...
