Such a Thoughtful Little Lady

Ava has decided that she will not go to sleep at night until Lucas is safely tucked in his bed. Such a nice little girl. I have tried and tried but she will not give up. Seems to be as soon as I bring her in to see Lucas and read a story with them, say his prayers and shut out the light she will go to sleep with no fight. If I try to get her down before that she exercises her vocal cords. I really don't think they need any more exercise they get enough of a work out during the day.
Apparently it is "Just my size, Mommy"! Someone has a big head



"Look Ava it is like this, jump, jump, jump" "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, whatever Lucas not everything has to be done your way, one day I will teach you that"

Count to Ten







Lucas is very proud of himself today. Peter and I were really surprised when it all came out but Lucas can count to TEN!!!! Sounds a bit like this.....






"yun, two, tree, tour, tive, tix, temtem, eight, nine, ten"






I guess he had to do something to get attention yesterday, Ava was baptised and everyone was here to oww and aww over her so Lucas must have figured it was a good way to get the all the attention back. It worked pretty good.


Ava did really well at the baptism, no crying at all, so unlike her. We had a really good day with family and friends. Beautiful weather which was nice, made the house feel a little bigger.

Of course Ava is not happy

Time is Flying By

Hard to believe Ava is 2 and 1/2 months now, time goes by so fast.

She is doing well, there is always something to complain about when it comes to naping but that seems to be the norm with my kids so won't go into too much detail. Bascially she doesn't like to nap, would rather cry the day away. We will get there one day and things have gotten so much better than in the beginning so that is nice.

She is off her medication and is no longer throwing up all over me which is fantastic and means a lot less laundry. Although she has started doing monster size poos and covering her clothes, so puke clothes have been replaced with poo clothes. At least it is only usually her own clothes and not mine as well.


Lucas is doing good as well. He is starting to get bored with his toys and needs more 'stimulation' so I have started doing quite a few crafts with him. He is such a boy (or maybe it is just toddler) when it comes to crafts though. He likes to make things and then see how big of a bang it makes when you throw it on the floor. Or see if his cars can drive through it. He also likes to glue things on and then once it is dried rip it all apart, than he wants it glued back on again so he can take it apart again.


Still a big hockey fan! "Go Sydney Crosby"

We are enjoying lots of smiles and a little bit of cooing from Ava. I suspect she is going to talk as much as Lucas and may even be louder than him. She definetly lets us know when she wants to be heard. She loves to watch EVERYTHING that Lucas is doing and just seems to not be able to get enough of him, lets hope that lasts. Not sure the feeling is mutual from Lucas though, he loves her for a couple of minutes and then says "Mommy put her in her bed". Lets hope that one day he likes her for more than a couple of minutes at a time.


You think I'm cute now just wait 2 minutes and I will poo all the way up to my neck, pretty funny eh Mom!




A little pea

Lucas loves Ava's things, he has played with the 'baby' toys more now than he ever did when he was a baby. I tried Ava in the bumbo the other day as her head is getting a little flat, unfortunatley she is still a little too young for it, so I was going to put it away. But it has now become Lucas' favourite toy. He often sits in it to have a snack or sometimes likes to put it on his head and walk around the house telling me that he can't see, pretty funny guy!




Yeah I still fit
