A better day

Today has been so much better than yesterday :) I wasn't so tired, wee man wasn't so tired and we didn't have any screaming matches at all today - big reliefs. In fact we were so much happier - see



I've been making cards too! Thought I'd make enough thank you cards but it turns out 50 wasn't enough!!! So had to quickly make another few, just like this



I'm starting to get my creative mojo back and have got a few ideas of things I want to make but one thing I have promised myself is that before I start any big crafty project I need to get this finished



I can't actually remember when I started this cross-stich but I do remember it was when we lived in a different house! (we've been here over 3 yrs!!!) This is what it's supposed to look like - not really got much to do to it have I! I must get this finished before I start anything else big. I must, I must, I must!

Too early

I've been up too long today already and it's only 8am!!!

Wee man woke up at 4am - that I'm happy with, he slept since 8pm last night so a good 8 hours. I've just been unable to get back to sleep since then and the little eating machine will be awake very, very soon wanting fed again.

Might manage a quick catnap at some point this morning :o (fat chance me thinks!!!)

Smiling

Today has been a smiley day in our house. Wee man is 2 months today and he's obviously very happy about it ...........



And my favourite bit of today, wee man sitting up, (by holding on to Mum's thumbs) and loving it!



The other thing I achieved today was making cream of mushroom soup - from scratch and it was lurvely. Even impressed myself - incredibly easy to make and really, really tasty.

All change!!

It's been a while since I had a change but yesterday I took the plunge and went from this .......... (not the greatest pic of me but then I don't take good photos for some reason)




to this .............



I've lost count of the number of times I've done this - grown my hair to a decent length and then just got it all chopped off! Normally shocks the hairdresser when I go in and say 'cut it all off'!!! But this time it's not just a whim, there is an actual reason for wanting short, easy, quick hair. Having an 8 week old doesn't really give you much time for faffing about with my hair, having a shower now takes the same length of time as it did just to shampoo my hair. Not to mention the time it took to dry and straighten it - now ... it's just about dry by the time I leave the bathroom. Hurrah!!!

Super!!

It's been one of those weeks! Super in lots of ways, super-wet (it's poured so much this week!) Super-fun - we went to see baby ducks at the nearby duck pond (in the pouring rain!!) Super-tiring - some days it just catches up with you before you realise it!

But best of all has been this ..........




Our little Superbaby - we've called wee man 'superbaby' since he was about 1 week old just because of the way he lies with one arm above his head, like he is flying just like superman, and then when we were shopping last week we came across this romper suit and just could not resist it. Perfect for our wee dude :)
