Awwww cute!! She looks gorgeous in her life jacket and looks so comfy and spread all over the place. Love it.
I had a mini freak the other day when I was shopping. I was so sure I saw BSDH that I started smiling at this complete stranger and then confused when he didn't recognise me  Obviously wasn't him but oh the embarrassment!!

LMAO at the shrek comment haha ...poor BSDH! And Brian Tamaki ... *cringes* UGH
Nothing much new here, sorry haven't posted in here for sooo long. Belated Happy 1st Bday wishes to both Elle & Noah... Is it just Alyssa & Lucas to go now or am I forgetting someone?
We been going a bit crazy with grandparents money. I was so chuffed to find that my bassinet & old pram sold on trade me ....yay $120 extra to put towards his big pressies.
BS we were going to get the Giraffe slide, but when we took Lucas into Toys R Fun in Manukau today we let him loose in the slide/swing section and he started climbing and playing on this and Dad (Poppa) decided he wanted to buy that for him ...so we will order through pipsqueaks tomorrow (its almost 200bux cheaper than in stores)! ....also bought the single Aluminium swing frame ...now just on the hunt for a decent plastic toddler swing that converts into normal swing as they didn't have any in stock at Toysrfun. I quite like the fisher price ones (good reliable brand too) but when I used google to try track them down I found a recall notice mentioning lots of reported accidents of kids falling out and hurting themselves ....soo hmm thats kinda put me off LOL!
Can't wait till next Sunday ....sooo many lil bits and pieces to wrap, aww the look on his face when he opens them & plays on his climbing frame and swing. I often wonder whose the kid here - me or him?
Hope everyone is well xxx

then at 5 20am her butt exploded! guess that was the culprit but OMG i am tired now....
We tried the toddler milk this am - decided to do it each morning and poss one at night...she loved it!!! Gave it to her in a sippy cup to differentiate and it worked....will try to keep her to three formula bottles on top of that now....

Oh thanks Hails. And Happy Anniversary.
I took a couple of photos last night as she fell asleep on the lounge floor. Bad Mummy didn't put her to bed early enough. But I couldn't get the resize thingy on Photobucket to work for me so will have to wait until DH gets home to do it for me I'm so useless with computers. At least then I may have photos of her cake and opening presents as well. I'm doing a little cake for tonight then another one for Friday when the cousins come over.
Anyway I was thinking she was 365 days old yesterday because it's leap year, so she's now 366 days old.
Sorry very "random" thoughts(as Tasha would say) I think I'm going slightly crazy thinking about going back to work, I dreading it  .
Have to race off to the shops today to buy icing sugar as the monkeys have used it all up making sherbet  and didn't bother to tell me it had run out.

GOD No!!! I'm 38 now I think I'm done. It took my eight years to decide to have her so if I wait another 8 years I'll be 46 . But never say never as my sister learnt she said number 5 was the last and them she had a surprise baby at 40. So I think I'm done, definitely not going to try for another one BUT AF hasn't shown up yet so .......
Still trying to work photobucket I'm not sure whats wrong DH tried to fix it but I might try again tomorrow.
I made Alyssa to B'day cake today, used the idea's from a couple I saw on here I think one was Elle's??

GRRRRRRR I wrote a huge post and it just disappeared!
Happy Birthday Miss Alyssa ...can't wait to see piccies.
BS yup thats the thing I originally had my eye on, now just hoping it gets here before Good Friday ...totally forgot when I ordered it that it was a short week this week. Might ring them up and get them to hurry it along, will be so peeved if I don't get it in time for his B'day.
Master Lucas made Mummy so proud today when he started walking along pushing his fisher price walker/wagon ....first time he has actually grasped the concept of how to use it. So im guessing this means walking won't be far off, he was very steady with his walking today whilst pushing it along. Im soo excited, but damn rechargeable batteries are stuffed so couldn't get a video
Hope everyones keeping well
xx

Alyssa's B'day photos are in the photo gallery now.
Just spent the first $1300.00 on Natasha's Braces  She now has blue and green ones...hmmmm very pretty. Now every 6-8 weeks it will cost us another $220.00 per appointment until they come off. Another reason I'm back to work soon.

The one thing about getting chicken pox really young is that they don't scratch and get all the spots infected. Tasha had it at 2 and she only has one scar. Alex got it a few years ago and scratched heaps ended up with lots of scars from infected spots. But still it would be better never to have it like me

BS is it the small climber thats yellow, purple, pink and blue or the bigger one with the bridge?
I ended up paying for Lucas' climber with money I'd been saving from selling CD/DVD collection, old bassinet and pram on trade me etc etc ...parents paid for his swing which we tried out today (soooo couldn't help myself). Will add a photo to the gallery - he LOVED it.
Today I realised that my Mummy tummy can come in quite handy at times. Freight company turned up with the climber in a HUGE box ...guy had rung prior to turning up and said he was just going to dump it infront of garage ....soooo I hear the truck outside, let the flab hang out (i fully look 7 months preg when I do this ....tiny frame with tummy LOL) ...go outside and I asked if he could please bring it up the stairs, he struggled quite a bit (very narrow steep flight of stairs)but still did it for me! Thank god he didn't ask when bubba was due ...I would have been stumped as to what to say LOL
Hmm really must work on losing my tummy, he's nearly a year old so I can't use the 'I had a baby' excuse for much longer! Now if only I could get the money for a breast uplift too, they're almost dragging on the ground! Imagine what they will be like after 2 years of breastfeeding? I'm a lil apprehensive about continuing but can't see myself giving up for quite a while, I really love it, sag and all.
Oh man I'm so excited my baby is going to be one!!!
Shaz the cake you made for bub is GORGEOUS! I can't believe thats a home job! We are just doing an eggless chocolate cake with candles and whatever cake decorations I get my hands on tomorrow when we go shopping. Can anyone suggest a place to get them? ...My first stop will be the cheesecake shop, not sure how much luck I will have there.
BS the younger they get chicken pox the better, altho in my case I was an itchy scratchy kid and I have A LOT of scars to show for it from when I had Chicken Pox at 18 months!

I've had heaps of practice making cakes over the years if you add up all the cakes for the girls Birthdays and party's (sometimes two different ones for the separate days) I would have made well over 21 cakes. At one stage I had to make those cakes with the doll in the middle for about 3 years running and it got a little boring.
Hmmm Mummy tummy here too. Really must start doing those crunches so I can fit some of my old clothes. I have no idea what I'll be wearing to work on the 2nd  can't afford to buy new clothes.

Oh forgot to say that old fashioned cake shops are the best for decorations if there is one around by you.
A really easy cake is too print a small photo of Lucas put it in the middle of the icing and cover the rest of the cake with small and giant smarties (or any lollies actually work) it is really affective and looks kind of like a photo frame. I have three Australian Womans Weekly Children's Cake books and I think it's in one of them.
This one didn't work as well, works better with smarties and darker icing.
