Would prefer to be walking

Owen walks around with his walker all day. He crawls up to it, pulls himself up and starts walking like a grandma with a walking aid. It is hilarious! Even more freaky is when I am in the kitchen he scoots past and all I see is the top of his head. I have to take a second look. My boy is growing up!

This is his latest trick...look mum no hands!

cute?

Like all mothers I think I have a very cute baby. But then I took this photo! Aww I still think he is a cutie pie!

I did it! Don't look closely...

I finished my first sewing project, a Christmas nappy cover. It is all together and actually looks ok from a distance. But when you look closely, it is rough as guts....but a good first effort, good on me!

Pattern cut

ready for elastic

Finished!

Strike a pose!

This is where I got the pattern and step by step instructions (all free!)

Gold Coast weekend break

We had a mini holiday to the Gold Coast last weekend with Bec, Paul and Theo.We only stayed two nights, but it really felt like a holiday. Just what Dave needed. Think he is a bit stressed of late. This is the view from where we stayed!

The weather was amazing, just perfect for lots of swimming! Owen and Theo loved the water! Owen also loved following Theo around and invading his personal space!!

Wish we could of stayed longer!

Cousins

Another positive about moving to Brisbane is that we live close to Will and Archie, who are Owen's cousins. Here are a few photos of a swimming trip we had with Lisa and Archie on Thursday.

Aren't they cutie pies!

My first order of material has arrived!

So lets hope they end up as nappy covers and not in the bin!

New baby!

My sister in law, Katrina is due to have her first baby very soon! She is in Mexico with her fiance and will have the baby there and then will return back to Australia early next year! I am very much looking forward to seeing her again and meeting her little man! I was just snooping on her on Facebook page and came across her baby shower photos! So I hope you don't mind Trina!!!



I can't get over how good she looks...I looked like a puffy whale when I was this far along!
