6 Months and We Crawling and Teething!

My little baby is 6 months today!! My goodness where has time gone… I’m just so thankful to God for how far we’ve come! I know we’ve had it pretty easy with this girl, all things considered! She is an absolute darling most days! Yes, she gets cranky every now and then, we’re still trying to get the hang of weaning and she’s still not sleeping through but most times she’s really only up about 2-3 times between 7pm-8am so not all bad… :) . I’m sure I’ll be singing a different tune about sleeping through when I get back to work in August but till then, I’m just going to enjoy what time I have left!

So what have we achieved now that we’re 6 months old? Crawling and Teething that’s what!

Happy Fathers’ Day…

It’s ironic how you don’t really take note of these days (mothers’ day, fathers’ day, etc) until you actual become one. Yes, I truly appreciate my parents for all they have done in my life but since I become a mother myself I appreciate them even more. Suddenly I see and understand all the things they have done for my siblings and I and I am totally in awe of them.

But this isn’t about me, this is about fathers, because it is Fathers’ Day and I am dedicating this to my husband who became a father 6 months ago…

happy-fathers-day

I am so proud that you are my husband and Anjie’s dad, and I know one day she will be totally proud to call you daddy. I might not say this a lot (but I believe I do!), but I truly appreciate everything you have done/are doing in our lives, including looking for ways to ‘make things better’ and putting a smile on both Anjie’s face and mine – something you are very good at I might add!

I appreciate how you’re always happy to help out around the house when things get a little overwhelming for me! How you happily and proudly babysit Anjie so I can have some ‘me time’ and get stuff done…

I could go on and on but I’ll stop here. There are so many ways to say thank you but sometimes words are simply not enough! God bless you my husband and we continue to pray for your success in everything you do and many more years to reap the joys of being a father. Love you loads!

To all you dads and granddaddies out there, God bless you and we truly appreciate you…

Off to the Movies and Weaning, again

So last weekend we went to the movies. The last movie we saw was the Avengers which was amazing, there were applauds in the cinema at the end, it was that good. So this time, with much anticipation and excitement we went to see Prometheus.

Sadly, I’ll have to give it a 5/10. Hubby and I were completely disappointed with the movie as it left so many questions unanswered and for a movie which is supposed to be a prequel to Aliens we didn’t see much of them! But hey, that’s just me! I’m not a movie critic so I’m not going to talk too much about it!

So where was Anjie in all this..?

Happy birthday to My Husband, Anjie’s Daddy!

Today is my hubby’s birthday and Anjie and I agreed that since she hadn’t started talking she’d have a customised t-shirt to say ‘happy birthday’ to the most important man in her life! So this was what she got for her daddy!

Hubby absolutely loved it!

His other birthday gift was another obsession of his…

Blowing Raspberries and Weaning so far

So this past week saw the ‘end’ of the lovely summery weather we had been having; I have to say it was really sad to see it go! It doesn’t help that this weekend is the Jubilee weekend with a double bank holiday on Monday and Tuesday (doesn’t make much of a difference to me though!)! Would have been nice to go to the park as a family and just spend sometime outdoor. Oh well maybe the sun might still come out a bit…
