Family Ties

06:35PM | October 31, 2009 | 2 comments

The whole point of the trip was to see Steve’s family and introduce them to Aidan. They couldn’t have been more besotted if they tried. It was great to see Steve in his hometown and realise Aidan will always have ties to Moe even though we’ll never live there ourselves. Steve’s Dad was so sweet [...]

Traveling with Baby

I’d like to say it was difficult, that we should never have left home, that it screwed up his routine but it wasn’t, I’m glad we did and it didn’t. I thought traveling with a baby would mean extra work and take out all the fun, but to be honest he enhanced everything. Sure, as [...]

It’s good to be home…

Phew… it’s been a busy week, it felt like 2 weeks went by but in reality it was only 5 days away from home. This is just a quick note about what’s going on with us and then more detailed posts will follow. Aidan decided it was perfect timing for a growth spurt so I [...]

Carried Away

Mumma wanted me to let you all know that we’ll be traveling to Melbourne so they can show me off to the in-laws. That means she wont be able to share my cuteness with you for a week. We’re going by plane but I’m not worried as I’ve already flown, even if I was in [...]

Wasn’t me!

Seriously Mumma, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I mean there is no way I’d suck my thumb. Especially when it’s so hard to get it in my mouth. That said Mumma, I’m not one to give up. You could say I’m “trying”.

Keepsake 2

Before – Aidan’s tiny feet scanned onto my computer. After – Aidan’s tiny feet on a stubby cooler! My Dad likes homemade/thoughtful gifts from my sister and I, rather than anything flashy or expensive. What man can’t do without one more stubby cooler? So that’s what I made him for his birthday using Snapfish. I [...]

Crying Room

Wez & Aidan I went to the movies a lot when I was pregnant. Towards the end Wez and I were going once a week, seeing everything from romance, animations, 3D, horror… anything that looked good on the day. I’m sure we’d seen over 15 movies. He was the only one of my local mates [...]

Well Aidan got his shots on Thursday and it was probably the worst day of his little life so far. I’d always been confident about him getting shots and that I wouldn’t cry and that it wasn’t a big deal. WRONG We waited in the little room, a nurse came in and gave us the [...]

I’m putting myself out there, way out there and whilst it’s been a little uncomfortable at times it’s still be worth the rewards. One issue I had was that I was meeting people but never got the nerve to exchange contact information. I remembered Belinda had beautiful play date cards made and thought I could [...]

Rock the Bubba

This is Aidan’s swing. He doesn’t use it a lot but as he’s staying awake more during the day it gives him a chill out space where he can relax other than his cot. I liked this one because it vibrates, swings on lots of different speeds, plays music, reclines, has cute toys, a tray [...]

oh how I missed thee

This is what 2am looks like at our house and I thought I’d share my breastfeeding spot with you all just in case you were wondering where I was spending my time. It’s beyond uncomfortable but it’s the best I can do for the moment. I’ve tried every spot in the house, the daybed, my [...]

I was home alone with the baby and I was bored… so I decided to scan Aidan’s feet. Not usually the first thing that comes to mind but I’d been thinking of ways to immortalise his tiny fingers and toes. I’m not really into moulds and I’m not very good at painting. I could take [...]

Woombie

My friend Rhi (who I met through my blog) has a baby boy named Carter who is only a few weeks older than Aidan. Not only has she been a great support but also introduced me to The Woombie. We’ve wrapped Aidan since birth but Steve had a bit of difficulty with it and as [...]
