Busy Boys






Just got some pics off the camera again. Gee our boys are busy! Jacob loves to preach to us, with his microphone and his pedestal lectern and his book to sing songs from. Lots of 'Dear Lord...' involved, and we often have to sing along and clap, or close eyes ore whatever. He is very particular about what we must do!
Sam has no problems pulling himself up to standing at the table. We need to remember to not leave things at the edge where he can get them. We must also put lids back on textas.
Yesterday Jacob helped Daddy clean the inside of the car (money should not go in the CD player) and today they're washing the outside. He is very helpful i'm sure ;).

Bits n Pieces

Just a few things from us...
Jacob's very much looking forward to his birthday and party tomorrow. 'Its my berfday soon, I have free candles' etc etc, very cute. (I probably should do some of the many things I need to do between now and the party but it'll wait I guess.) He's got a bit of a cough at the moment but that doesn't seem to be slowing him down at all, and he is turning into a real chatterbox. He has certainly 'come out of his shell' in recent weeks and luckily for us is quite independent in the mornings when he gets up. He'll be happy to come out and put a video on and eat an apple that we leave out for him (like Father Christmas!) (or anything else he may find - one day it was dry weetbix, another day he'd grabbed the whole chunka loaf of bread and was chomping into it!). We're making the most of not needing to rush in the mornings.
The other night when i was feeding Sam he bit me and drew blood! I was not impressed, and he's done it a few other times since then. Makes feeding incredibly painful and horrible and I really hope he stops doing it! His teeth are very sharp. He's also not slowed down by much anymore as he's officially crawling! We're not quite sure exactly what we're in for now... Good fun I guess and he's generally happy to entertain himself with the toys in the corner, and now if Jacob takes toys away from him he can just go and find some more! Gonna be interesting I think...
Al's busy with an assignment at the moment, and I'm just busy with these 2 mobile boys. I think I should give up trying to achieve anything in the day!
Anyway just thought we'd say hello. Shall blog more after the party and the birthday I imagine. And now I REAlly need to go and do those things!
Much Love,
Heth :)

Poor Sam...

Sam's a bit crook! He's only really kept about 2 feeds down since 6:30 yesterday morning and has been doing ENORMOUS spews! Not quite so bad today (but he did sleep for 4 1/2 hours this arvo!) but yesterday we went through so many clothes... and you know how good this weather is for getting things dry...
So last night after not keeping anything down and not enough wet nappies, I thought I'd better get him checked out. He was still bright and chirpy and didn't appear to be miserable or too flat or anything, but I didn't want him to get dehydrated. I took him to Flinders and we didn't really have to wait too long, we were only there from 9 - 12 (and of course he was awake the whole time). He's ok and there wasn't really much they could tell me! Just one of those things, could be a virus or his teeth (make that tooth cos there's only 1), and keep an eye on him and get him checked out again if it goes on too long. Fun.
I'm very glad he's not been too upset with it. Today I was beyond exhausted and not functioning very well so I had lovely sleep this afternoon as well - still trying to catch up from our short nights away. Al & Jacob are ok (just tired too) and we all hope we all sleep a lot better tonight!

In other news, the dust bowl next door has turned into a mud bowl! Would be so much fun to go play in it :P They're working on the retaining wall and new fence (among other things) which is a very good thing... Al went out tonight to make sure what's left of our fence is still standing, and some of the concrete in the carport is collapsing! The water's eroded the dirt away so there's nothing to support it. He took some photos but I'm too tired to look at them now. Shall keep you informed!

*yawn*
