Ethan's 3rd tooth!

yes it is coming out. and the little tyke is such a joy to be with. Ethan is able to wave good-bye and he is sooo manja nowadays. He wants to be held and hugged all the time and has a loud voice.

We are soo thankful for little Ethan. We are also sending our best wishes to our friends Lionel and Michelle, whose twin dotters were born 24 weeks. We hope Lara and Laraine grow up quickly so they can hug their parents! Am trying to remember how to do a link, but for now, here's their blog address: www.simtwins.blogspot.com

Pure Bliss

I gripe a lot. It's a bad habit. I actually have it quite good. I always have been given opportunities to solve my problems before they come, like getting a promotion before my dad needs more for his medical bills. And I got to marry a really great guy who loves me. Now I have this little bundle of joy, truly he is, who greets me every morning with a toothless grin. Ethan is genuinely happy to be with me and totally unabashedly so. That's the cherry on top of my cake.

Ethan's been happily screaming to be at the steering wheel. He enjoys moving the steering wheel around, also kicking the horn accidentally when it happens. I hope he continues to be soo unrestrainedly joyful when he gets to do anything he wants to. We all become so restrained as adults.

I want to be as happy as Ethan and I am already happy. It's been Pure Bliss.

testing limits

I had to go to Australia for 4 days and hated every minute of being away from Ethan. Apparrently my little baby missed me too and woke up fairly often seeking for boob comfort. I was back on Wednesday and for the first time in 4 nights both of us slept so well.

I was dog tired and still recovering so had to take half day to stone at home. Ethan was really testing my patience yesterday. Biting me even when I had said no. Think he's testing to see how far he can go and showing his unhappiness at not being able to get boob for 4 days by being petulent. I slept with him from 830pm till the morning and then all is forgiven. I did so miss my little angel.

Ethan's first cereal and first semi solid. Ethan is really leaning as far back from his chair as he can get 

First Night away

My heart is breaking. Ethan and I are both down with flu. Ethan's spending the night with his grandma. It's the first night we are sleeping apart from each other since Ethan was born. If I didn't have so much work and if I wasn't already going to Australia for work mid August, we wouldn't have to do this. My poor baby can't breathe properly and I'm not there to comfort him. I do realise it's better if I sleep well and get better so that I can continue to look after him but I can't help how I am feeling right now.

I hope Ethan gets better and I jolly well better recover by tomorrow. I miss my baby!!!
