Reminiscing

Since Cadell's first birthday last weekend I have as most people do, been reminiscing back to Cadell's birth.

It is hard not to think about what I was doing this time last year, how small he was, how far we've come since then, the sleepless nights and worrying about how he wasn't gaining weight.

Now he is a great big heavy lump at 11kgs!

Its so easy to forget those early days as they were so hazy, with sleep deprivation and the newness of the situation.

It is amazing for me to look back at his early photos and realise the similarities, how much he still looks like he did then.

I guess before I had my own baby I kind of thought all babies looked the same, but their little personalities and own features are there right from the beginning.

He is so precious to us! Its hard to know just how much they will change your life when you are pregnant, or even when they are first born. 

He is so much fun, and always a joy to be with. I am sure when he gets into his toddlerdom we will have challenges, but I will always enjoy being with him.

18 months old

Our little boy is a year and a half! Time is flying by at the moment. So far, he hasn't been saying too much, but I think he has been trying to say a few things such as 'truck' and babbling in his own lanaguage. He also says 'Yeah' when we ask him something and its something he wants! He is understanding so much now though. We can ask him questions and he definitely knows what we are saying and what he wants/doesn't want!! if we ask him 'where's your tummy/nose/mouth/etc' he will find them and point. He is running everywhere, loves kicking balls around the house + outside, although when he is outside he seems to prefer to explore, try and dig with a little shovel, and play in water! He is fascinated with spinning around at the moment, I think he likes the dizzy feeling he gets!

Daycare

This week has been a funny week, I didn't go to work at all on Monday as Cadell was coughing so much he was vomiting and just generally not well so I didn't want to send him to daycare. On Tuesday he was still not well, so I took him to the Doctors early, and he gave us antibiotics for two inflamed ears. He said he was ok to send to daycare though, so I took him to daycare where there was a new person looking after him. I wasn't too happy about leaving him, he was upset and I didn't like to leave him with a new person when he was already unwell and upset. But I had to go to work. Wednesday I was feeling sick but I went to work, I phoned daycare at lunch and they said he was upset and not eating so I left work and went to take him home. So today I am full of cold, Cadell seems a little better but still not eating well so I am going to make him pancakes for morning tea when he wakes up to see if he will eat them. I think Cadell and I have been sick on and off for ne...
