You're watching me!!

Now, seeing as how you've all been bugging me to update again, here it is :)

It's been a few weeks since my last update and things are going really well. Life is on the up and up - we couldn't be happier! Well, actually, things COULD be better but nothing is perfect .. our lives are as close to perfect as they need to be and that suits me fine :)

Kaleb and I have been spending some great quality time in the home lately, the cooler weather makes indoors seem that much more appealing! We've been baking up a storm with bread, muffins, slices, biscuits and we have plans to cook our first side of corned silverside tomorrow ....... I'll let you know how it goes!

Kaleb's daycarer has had a few challenges with Kaleb becoming a little more stubborn that he normally is hehe It was unfortunately due to some rather innocent-looking tubs of fruit puree that contained just enough concentrations of preservatives and additives to tip Kaleb over into hyperactivity which never bodes well!! We solved the mystery of his behavioural shift however, and although the list of what I can put in his lunchbox is infinately smaller than before, at least we know what he can and can't tolerate. Otherwise he is happy and healthy, giving me LOADS of "kissy's" -- I love it! He'll kiss the back of his own hand if my face isn't nearby ... completely adorable!

Work is going as well as can expected .. I mean, come on! It's work! I still enjoy the enquiries we get, I only wish there were more of them so I can get some mental stimulation and not spend most of the day sitting at my desk staring off in to space hehe.

Kaleb's vocab has increased TOO much for my liking since I last blogged!!! Now when we sit in traffic, or in a drive-through, anywhere really, he shouts at the top of his lungs "Come ON!!" It would be funny if it wasn't so embarrassing!! We still love to spend chat-time in the morning traffic on the way to our daycarer's house and as always, I look forward to picking him up in the afternoon .. Im always guaranteed a huge smile, a run-to-me-engulf-me-in-his-arms cuddle and lots of excited "Mummy's here! Mummy's here!" He's tucked up in bed as we speak and I've already made more than enough trips to his room to peek in on him :)

As always, some pictures of our adventures..


Do you like my new hat?


Come on, it's funny!! Laugh with me!!


How cute is this face?

Splish Splash

Hi bloggers!

Im happy and not-so-happy to say that the winter weather has finally made its' way to Queensland. It is lovely to have a reprieve from the continuous hot weather that we've been having but really! Raining for 3 days straight isn't my idea of fun :)

I've been off work unfortunately for last week due to bronchitis - the Drs firstly passed it off as a head cold, then as a chest infection, then finally diagnosed bronchitis but I was sent for a chest x-ray to make sure I hadn't contracted pneumonia! How scary! Thank goodness the results came back clear or I would have been housebound for longer than a week!

Big news in my household lately is that Kaleb has started toilet training! We got him a cute Roger Armstrong potty shaped like a turtle and he loves to sit on it while he watches TV in the evenings LOL No number 1's or 2's IN the potty yet, but there have been lots of water bottles up-ended in the potty and passed off as No 1's LOL Cheeky little man!

We're going for our yearly portrait session in the next coming weeks too - hopefully we can get some great shots to share with you all :)

There isn't anything else of interest that I can share with you at the moment so here are some photos of our recent photoshoots:
