This week in photos.

I went to a great friends 21st birthday.





J worked the morning after the party and the little horror decided to wake up at an unbearable time (hungover or not) at 5:30 a.m. He got put in the bin. Then my mum, aka granny, came and played.



What felt like the one and only sleep Sebb had that week.



Borrowed this walker from a friend and S is in heaven, I am now dreading the times he is properly mobile, my house will be destroyed!







We attended a music group in our area, oh god it was fun! This will be a regular happening. Think I had more fun then the baby.





Put Sebb in some random cute places.







Basked in the sun's glorious rays!

Satisfaction

I have a problem, I have great ideas, start them but never finish them. I'm feeling bored lately, unsatisfied if you will.
So as of now I'm promising myself, with the blog world as my witness, I will finish all my projects!
Sebbs pirate room will be finished, my cupboard will be cleaned out, I WILL start and finish the house decorations, I WILL BE SATISFIED!

The end.

Midnight post

The last couple of days have been horrendous hard.
I'm sick, just with a cold, and the baby is teething. As I type he is screaming in the next room. Bad mother?
He's had nurefon, he's had cuddles, he's had teething gel and nothing works. He needs to cry and I need to sit in another room and cry or I may loose my mind.
Teething, in my opinion, has been the hardest part of motherhood. There's nothing I can do too ease his pain! It's killing me! I can't imagine what he's going through...poor dude.
It makes it 10 times harder that I'm not feeling the greatest too, I'm sleep deprived, I feel like a monster. The thought of 2 plus years of teething is eating at me, I don't think I can do it. It's after midnight and I'm just glad I fell asleep early so at least now the teething monster has risen I've had a couple hours of solid sleep.
Hope your having a better night then my family!

Celebrate

It's almost 7:30 in the a.m and sebb is still asleep! This is a rare occurrence, lately he's been waking up at 6. Believe me I'm not complaining but I am a little bored! I've been hoping for the day when I can wake up before him and sip my coffee in peace, but now that the day has arrived and my coffee has been sipped, I don't know what to do with myself.
In brief other news, my birthdays creeping up mighty fast. EEEeeee! I wasn't excited...until now! My great friend Emma just informed me that the lanterns she ordered for my birthday have arrived! She's been doing most of the planning and I thank her muchly for it as I'm far to lazy preoccupied to plan. 
Some of my oldest friends, who are now far and wide will be making the trip to celebrate with me and I am so grateful! Hopefully the rain holds off for the day!

Chomp chomp.

My young dude has a tooth. One little chomper. I didn't even know it was there, J found it after work. Crazy huh? He wasn't overly sooky or anything, super baby right? Wrong! The night the tooth was found was a sleepless one.
He's a tough guy and I've had enough sleepless nights to be able to cope (semi).
We had the pleasure of meeting the newest member of our extended family Sunday lunchtime. Wolf Ryder Everson



He's a tiny little fellow. And oh so cute! (cluck cluck cluck) it's hard too imagine Sebb ever being that small, even though he was born almost a kilogram lighter then Wolf. Time goes so so fast and I'm just beginning to realize that fact now! 7 months too late.

And to end off this post, I'm going to try and live my life from this moment guests knowing that I CAN'T PLEASE EVERYONE! this is a tough thing for me to accept, any advice would be muchly appreciated. Happy Tuesday x

lost soul.

I'm feeling a little lost of late.
I feel stuck in a 'stay at home mum' kind of rut.
my day consists of:
wake, eat, clean, play,sleep, wake, eat, clean, play, sleep, repeat. (maybe throw in some bad reality TV and lots of whiny baby noises.)
I have no idea how to keep a 7 month old entertained without it becoming too repetitive and boring.
I need some sort of inspiration people! some career goal or even life goal.

Before I fell pregnant, I was at uni studying a bachelor of design and communication, I have no idea if I still want to pursue this path in life, or how to get back into studying after having over a year break and how to achieve this with an unruly infant on my hands.

My mind is a muddled mess of ideas but which path is the one for me?

Chill dude

The little guy had his first swimming lesson today!

You probably cant tell by the photos but he wasn't overly impressed.

He loves the water (usually), he loves swimming in his grandma's pool, but he likes to do it on his terms. None of this in and out of the water business or this kicking, zooming jazz...he likes to chill and relax and when he's had enough i take him out.

Well sorry buddy your Wednesday mornings have changed forever, you wont be getting your way.

I kinda feel sorry for the little dude, I like that he's strong willed and he knows what he wants, I don't want to crush his spirit. But it will get better right? pray for me?

Proposal

Sunday the 2nd October 2011 was a wonderful day, it probably comes in second on the most wonderful days of all time.
J picked my ring up saturday morning so i knew the proposal was close, but i didnt know details, this KILLED me. i love suprises but i hate waiting for them, if that even makes any sense at all.
We dropped the baby at his grandma's just before lunch on sunday as we planned during the week to have some baby free time just because, so i didnt really think anything of it but i had a funny feeling :)
we went to the light house on top of the hill as it was a beautiful clear day and we've done it plenty of times before..we saw WHALES! it was magical, ive never seen them so close before and i dont think i'd like too, some might say i have a whale phobia, but looking on from a distance was preetty awesome. we walked down onto the beach to see if we could get a better view, J kept making me walk and i was getting tired, i complained that i just wanted to sit and watch. He humoured me for a while but after the novelty wore off he suggested we walk back towards the rock wall.
im possibly the most clumsy person in the universe, so as i was struggling to keep my balance over the rocks, J was up ahead, as we got onto the beach i was just taking in the scenery and the sun when i looked and saw J down on one knee with a sparkly obect in his hand! i nearly died! of excitement that is.
i was dumbfouded and got down on the ground with him, thn realised i was on a bunch of rocks, i took a step back and realised it was a message..'IVY MARRY ME' i started squealing and the poeple on the dunes started clapping and cheering. it really was the best.

I knew that the proposal was coming, but i didnt expect it the way it happened, i honestly didnt think J had the planning skills required to pull this off! Now i know you never stop learning about your loved ones and im excited to spend the rest of my life learning about this amazing guy!

In other news..Baby Sebb is & months old! yesterday infact. he's growing before my eyes. Yesterday he wanted to hold his bottle himeself, he pulled it out put it back in and was truly thrilled by the exerience, as was I. Although i might have been a bit sad, he's growing up so fast!
he can sit and grab and play and eat like a champ. I love him oh so much! He starts swimming lessons tomorrow, I love all these new experiences i get to share with my boys, even though he drives me crazy at times, when i see his big goofy toothless grin the world has never seemed more perfect.
