Red Shoes and Cupcakes

It was my birthday on Wednesday and I got spoilt!  I got a pink Zutter and pink carry case from Brendan and the boys, got taken out to lunch by Mum and Dad (it was a lovely lunch and shared a bottle of wine with mum), I bought some red shoes & some black shoes and a top (from Mum and Dad), Nicky brought over the most devine chocolate cupcakes for my birthday and I got a lovely felt cupcake handmade by Tanyah :-)

Here are my new red shoes, I just love them!  I have always wanted to have a pair of red shoes since watching Wizard of Oz as a young girl (it is still one of my fave movies and I still love watching it) and I have never owned red shoes until now.

Here are the chocolate cupcakes that Nicky made - they were so very yummy!  They looked gorgeous and they tasted devine :-)

Baby's got blue eyes......

Reiss has just got the most gorgeous blue eyes - but then I am biased, lol :-)

I took some pics of Reiss during the week - isnt he just adorable ?

Mmmmm mum mum mum :-)

It's the best sound in the world!  Reiss has starting saying "mum" now - he started it on the weekend and is saying it all the time - I just love it!  So his 3 words at the moment are mum, dad and bub - plus all the other sounds that he is making and experimenting with :-)

 

My talented bestie - Tanyah Payne

My very talented bestie Tanyah Payne is teaching at SIA next week!   Tanyah will be teaching for Bella.  I am so very excited for her - it will be fantastic!

Reiss @ 9 months

I cannot believe that Reiss is now more than 9 months old!  Wow, time is really flying by so fast at the moment.  Everyone is telling me that he is such a "little boy" now - that makes me sad that he is going to be a toddler soon and not my baby baby anymore.

His stats at 9 months are:-

Weight - 10.76 kgs

Height - 75.5cm (he grew 1cm in a month!)

Head circumference - 46cm

He is loving his food and his eating at least 3 meals a day, I am still breastfeeding and feed on demand.

He is pretty mobile, although still not crawling yet (he is starting to get up on all fours at the moment), he rolls himself everywhere, he is starting to roll away from us at the moment and go into his room or our bedroom from the loungeroom.  His smile just melts my heart, he is just adorable!

I am still yet to get a look-in in the talking department - still all bubba and dadda.

Here are some pics:-

 

Bel's Baby Shower

On Saturday I was very excited to be hosting a baby shower for my good friend Belinda and baby snowflake :-)  I decorated the house in snowflakes and elephants (the theme for their nursery) and pink and blue as they dont know the sex of their baby.  I made cupcakes with pink and blue elephants holding snowflakes - I think they are really cute (Thanks to Nicky for making the blue elephants).

The day was fantastic!  Everyone had a great time, we played some games, had lots of laugh, ate lots of food and snowflake got spoilt.

Here are a few pics from the day:-

We have a teenager in the house now!

Oh my goodness!  I cannot believe that our baby is now 13!!!!  Where has the last 13 years gone ?  Christian has just grown up too fast, well all the boys are growing up too fast really.  Christian is in Year 8, his favourite band is Muse, he loves playing RPG PC Games, playing with his ipod and listening to music, he still loves playing Yu-Gi-Oh (trading card game) and soccer.

Tonight we are having take-away chinese for dinner, chocolate mud cake for desert and then going to watch the latest episode of Survivor :-)  Christian is having his friends over for a sleepover next weekend.
