Little Man on the camera...

Here is an accidental self portrait taken by the little man.

We are having a cruisey day at home and I'm trying to get some pics of him.... he has other ideas! He grabbed the camera and this is the result. I kinda like it :)

It is a little freaky with almost not being able to see his nose! - That's what happens when an almost 8 month old is grabbing the camera!!

Meet Me Monday :)

Happy Monday Guys!
For those of you who like me are enjoying the Queens Birthday long weekend, I hope you haveing a great one.
I'm linking up with Java over at never growing old and joining in with the Meet Me Monday game. So if you'd like to play along answer the following questions and then link it back here :) Then have a peek at some new blogs!

Questions:
1.  What is your favorite yogurt flavor?
2.  Ankle or knee socks? and on the same theme, white socks or coloured??
3.  How is the weather right now?
4.  Are you a fast typer?
5.  Red or White Wine?

My Answers 
1.  What is your favorite yogurt flavor?
My favourite yoghurt flavour is any kind of berry flavored. Especially strawberry but not with too many chunks in it. My one time absolute favourite is the gippsland dairy twist. God they are delicious. If you haven't tried it I suggest you do! Yuuuuum..... Makes me want one now actually!

2.  Ankle or knee socks? and on the same theme, white socks or coloured??
I'm all about the ankle socks, unless I'll wearing business pants for work - then I try to find a pair of black mid length ones.  As for the coloured/white part I think mine are mostly white, but have coloured logos and designs on them. Most of my socks are sporty ankle ones that I got when I worked at Rebel Sport - Thank you staff discount!!


3.  How is the weather right now?
Today in Melbourne it actually looks really nice  the sun is streaming through my glass doors and warming me as I sit here blogging - however I'm sure if I opened the door and stepped outside it would be chilly! I'm pretty sure the forecast said a top of about 13 degrees Celsius :)


4.  Are you a fast typer?
I'm not professional fast or anything but I do type at a reasonable pace. I don't really touch type though I mostly have my eyes on the keyboard (and then go back and fix all my spelling errors afterwards).


5.  Red or White Wine?
White Wine. I'm actually fairly tame when it comes to wine. I like Moscato - particularly Brown Brothers :) Pretty much if it tastes sweet and there isn't a whole lot of an aftertaste then I like it.... Yep I'm a wuss.  Red wine doesn't really do it for me although I will admit I haven't tried many at all!

Sunday bloody Sunday

I had some awesome plans for today.
B and I were going to take the little man to see his first AFL game and I was super excited about it. He has the cutest beanie and little Carlton jersey. Seriously looks so cute I could eat him (For those on FB - you probably know the pic I am referring too!)

But as you have probably guessed we didn't make it to the game. About 11:30 last night the little man awoke happy as larry. B was already asleep so I got him up did a quick change and put some teething gel on him (His FOUR top teeth are coming through) and was about to put him back down when..... KAPOW!!! He did his first ever projectile. Literally covered me :( I have photographic proof! The only good part about it was that I was wearing B's jumper :)

So we changed him and put him back to sleep and he slept perfectly until 7:30 this morning. B got him up so that I could have a sleep in. I heard the little man grizzling a little but I slept through somehow. Anyways I woke properly at around 10 and checked my phone to see two texts from B asking me to come and help. I came down to the lounge and saw my little man snuggled up asleep on B. Which would have been really cute except he was super sick.

So my beautifully planned trip to the footy was replaced with nursing, cuddling and trying to keep my gorgeous little mans temperature down. He had a few big sleeps and didn't go off his food/drink which was good but inevitably it was a long and exhausting day - As all of the parents reading this would know.

I would so much rather be 10 X sicker myself and just take away his pain - It's so horrible when they are so sick that they lose that spark from their eye :( Parenting at it's worst!
Thankfully he is much better tonight and I'm hoping that he continues to get better tomorrow.
So much for a fabulous long weekend!!!!!

Hope you are all having a better one!

My Mum and a few other things.....

This week I'm grateful for a few things.

1. Chicken Parmas
Weird I know but I cannot tell you how much I am looking forward to eating a chicken parma for dinner tonight. The familiarity and the comfort of it.... Yum

2. Music
I put on Channel V this morning and had a great time listening to some tunes. Yep I sang and may have even danced a little too. Music takes me to so many different places and triggers so many memories. It's nice.

3. Long weekends
I love that I still have 2 more days to spend with my little family.

The fourth, final but also the most important one is my Mumma.
My Mum had a heart attack last week which really shocked us all. She has had a few health problems over the last 4 years, but this was really serious. I am grateful that she is still here with us, that she can still see the little man growing, laughing and learning every day. That she is still here to support me and to just be my Mum :)
