There's no place like home...there's no place like home...

It's dress up day at Kinder tomorrow!!

She wanted to go as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz...a particular obsession of my girls of late.

So with barely a weeks notice...I managed to throw together this little ensemble.

I made the dress, which is actually 2 dresses (fabric + zip $14)...the ruby slippers are from Kmart ($12 not too bad)...the basket from the op shop ($1 can't go wrong)...alaskan malamute as Toto (found in the toybox).

She couldn't wait to try it all on and have a little photo shoot...until she started to freeze her butt off on the front doorstep.

Tomorrow we will need to add a long sleeve top underneath and some white tights...cold cold cold here.

We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz :)

He's half a year old!

Here's my cheeky little boy...

we had a little bit of a photo shoot to commemorate him turning six months old.

It didn't go so well, he wouldn't play nice...this is the best...

oh well!! that is the story of our lives at the moment.

At six months he is:

sitting up unassisted and rarely falling

reaching forward to get onto his tummy...and then protesting very loudly that he can't move any further

grabbing everything within reach and putting it in his mouth (including my toes)

biting the boob that feeds him (no teeth yet though)

a very very happy little soul...lots of giggles and smiles

a big mummy sook

trying to climb me

eating solids like a machine

sleeping in our bed, or should that be keeping us awake in our bed

waking lots and lots during the night

dropping back to two daytime sleeps

drooling less

"talking" very loudly and alot

putting his arms out for me (and sometimes others)

sitting up in a supermarket trolley (usually loves this)

still being swaddled

showing intense excitement at new toys and familiar people

loving to pat the cats (even the mean one)

weighing seven and a half kilos

and is 66cm long

Gorgeous boy...so much like Miss C...looks and temperament...and sleeping trouble...oh no!!! we are in for some interesting times.

It doesn't last forever though...

Enjoying my last baby while he is still a baby...

LOVE him.

One Word Wednesday

Daybook Monday

FOR TODAY...25th of July 2011

Outside My Window...Dark, raining, empty garage.

I am thinking...that I should be doing something other than blogging...but this is the least strenuous thing on my list at the moment.

I am thankful for...peace and quiet...don't get to experience it very often, but when I do I am so very very thankful for it :)

From the kitchen...Homemade soup, homemade sausage rolls, yummy Ciabatta from Aussie Farmers.

I am wearing...Pjyamas already...may as well be comfortable when I'm not expecting any visitors.

I am creating...Bibs for the drooly baby...I can't believe the amount of liquid that comes out of this boys mouth...I've never been a big fan of the permanently attached bib, but so many extra changes of clothing is making me think very seriously about it. My girls NEVER drooled like this.

I am going...to be listing some furniture on ebay...we have an overabundance of cupboards...how can one declutter a house when the clutter is so BIG??

I am hearing...the tap tap tap of the keyboard as I type...silence is golden:)

Around the house...Little darlings sleeping peacefully. Mr Pixies out, clean folded washing trying to eat my dining table.

One of my favourite things...My oldest girl telling me she loves me...alot...and often.

A few plans for the rest of the week...Rearrange some furniture, get some sewing done, clean that sewing room AGAIN, why does it not stay tidy???

A photo to share...been a little bit lite on photos recently, dark dreary weather, everyone being sick, getting back into the Kinder run all thwarting me at every turn.

Who is this??
