Goggles and bums....

I love these eyes!

Worker...

Will our boy be a manual worker...

He loves tools and fixing anything and everything!!!
Only time will tell....

Some days....

Some days are made for cuddles...

 Some days we don't want to leave wormy and blanky at home...

 Some days he just wants to rest his head on my leg while enjoying some pooh bear...

Some days he needs a little extra time to wake up, even dragging him into our bed while we get dressed isn't enough time!

I love these days and I hope they last forever!!

Sick days...

On Thursday afternoon our boy got a fever... after some meds and many hours his fever didn't go down and I started to worry. We decided to take Lolly to the emergency rooms so close to 2am we set off. All the way there we told him the doctor will see him and make him better....

He was a little star when we arrived, they took his temperature, weighed him and gave him a suppository which brought his temperature right down! The doctor came in he look in Lolly's ears and throat and while the doctor was examining him he kept saying "doctor better, doctor better" - he was SO good. The nurses were doting on him and saying he's so good which made my heart so happy! We got home and put Lolly to bed and we got some sleep. On Friday I stayed home with Lolly and our day looked like this -
Tired faces and pj's all day. Lolly was taking his temperature - he couldn't reach under his arm so he stuck it in his neck :)

Watching some pooh bear...

 Lots of quiet play time....

 He gets a little clingy when he is sick but he isn't really a cuddler so this was him needing me - just resting his food on my leg while he sat...

 and his nap was filled with all his friends - this was on Sunday - by then he was all better and he slept like a dream!

Despite it being a tiring day on Friday I loved the day spent with my boy...

Now and then....

Now and then - it seemed the "now" would never come when Lolly was so little and so helpless but the "now" is here and it seems that the "then" never happened.... or happened a lifetime ago!

There are so many things I learned from having this little bundle of joy (and nerves and anxiety and sleep deprivation and worry) and I am praying so hard that if and when we have another baby I will leave all the crippling expectations behind and enjoy the slow mornings, the quite feeds, the soothing of a little helpless baby and that smell of baby that all mothers know... I will start praying now for when that time comes for it to be different from how things went with Lolly. Battling post natal depression  is something I never want to re-live and that fear grips me when I think of having another baby. My prayers is that it won't steal anything from me again and that I have learnt enough and know better now so the second time around will be redemption for me.

Splish Splash....

I know I post alot of pictures of our Lolly in the bath but oh man he loves bathtime!!

Our happy place - from time to time either Mike or I jump in the bath with Lolly and enjoy  half an hour of warm water, bubbles and lots of playtime!

When with daddy...

On Saturday Mike took Lolly the shop so I could prepare lunch for our lunch guests...  When with daddy this is what happens... Lolly got to eat bananas in the shopping cart...

My boys also stopped and got me a coffee from Wimpy - they know my heart!!

I love these boys so so much.... never in my life could I have imagined my life and the joy that surrounds these two guys - thank you Lord for the love of my two boys!!
