My child likes to hide in Boxes...

I always used to laugh at the kids on telly that got their heads stuck in small spots, like banisters, fences etc.
 Good to see God's sense of humor is still in full force.  I now have one of those kids.
Lachy just seems programmed to find the smallest spots he can and try to get in them.  Generally he can free himself with a bit of wriggling and coaching.... this week, however, Hubby received this pxt at work with a request for instructions on how to remove the child from the storage drawers....

He managed to wedge his shoulders in, then twist so he was stuck fast!
Thankfully i was able to remove him before he got upset, although he wasn't too fond of the 'twist and pull' maneuver.
Next week, well, i might just put the volunteer fire station on speed-dial!
And yes, i do take pics before i remove him from where ever he's decided to climb into/get stuck in! :)





And just for a bit of balance.....





(For the record, i do actually change my boys clothes! The red jumpsuit is just coincidentally in every pic of him...yup)

How to launch a Flightless Bird!!

It's here!!! After months of crafting (addictions to Polymer clay), creating, my Hubby tirelessly working on the inta-webby bit, URL stuff ups, and markets in the freezing cold, it's Finally Here!!!

http://www.flightless-bird.co.nz/

So freakin' Excited right now! (I even have little business cards for my market days...I feel so grown up!) I'm in the process of making more stock to replace the stuff i sold at the last market (Again, ridiculously excited for each piece i sell!), but you get the gist of it!! 

And hopefully now that the busy stuff is done i can get back to more frequent clogging-of-the-internet-with-pics-of-my-gorgeous-babies (or not so baby-ish any more) stuff!!
Brace yourselves!!

Decisions, decisions!

Over the last few days i've been trying to figure out what to do with my blog. To keep it or not.  I don't really have that much time for it anymore, but i still Love being on here and catching up with everyone and, well, stalking all the other blogging mums of the world!!


Today i finally figured it out.  I blog for me, cause i enjoy it, (and cause i love making Hubby change it every 5 seconds...he'd be lost if it wasn't for my blog!) and because of that it will stay.  However i do need to abandon a few ideas that i wanted to do (Bye-bye going natural and DIY, cause who has time to craft and DIY anymore!) 
Also any advertising/swapping dreams that i was hoping to aspire to will be gone as i wont have the time or blog appeal to make it worth while for anyone.  What i will be doing is stealing the buttons from my fav's and hanging them on my page instead!  My blog will be the blog that i originally intended, Plain, simple, about me and my family/life.


Smothering my Family in kisses and loves will be taking priority (mama-razzi will be out in full force), followed by Anatomy and Physiology, and Massage Therapy papers, followed by my dream and website (still coming....) and then my blog!!


I'm sure once i get my A into G and find some of that magical 'Time Management' dust, i'll get back into the swing of things, but for now i'll just do what i can and probably cover my blog in pics...As you do when you have such amazing kidlets!!

5 Months old!! :)

Late again!  Honestly though, being on time is highly over-rated!  My little Olly-pop is 5 months old...nearly 6 months...Nearly 18 years old dangit!!


This lil chubba Loves getting his food on!!.. Like, literally loves getting his food on.  His favs are potato and pumpkin (My home made mix) and banana!!  Still b/feeding but needing a little bit extra after some feeds.  Sometimes the little bit extra is 20mls, sometimes 150mls....




Finally sitting up, as well as inch-worming himself backwards on his belly and rolling all over the place! Loves being held up to stand too!  And Finally, he's getting used to being in the car, and we generally don't have to listen to a shrieking little banshee in the back seat when we go places anymore!! (Yay!!)




Compared to Lachy, this chappy is a dream with day sleeps now, and seems to be pretty clued up about the benefits of a 2 hour nap (like a happy mama).  Night sleeps are still pretty hit and miss though.  I do know he sleeps better on the days that he poops (Go figure huh)  For the most part though he usually manages at least 1 5-6 hour stretch, and on the occasional good night he goes down to bed at 7pm, wakes at 3am for a feed, then sleeps til 6.30am....Bliss!! On the really crap nights he wakes every 2 hours.  I don't like those nights.



This kid has ridiculously ticklish feet and belly, and thinks his brothers hugs (when it's not a headlock) are just the bee's knees (he actually smiles and giggles now when he gets them!)



Such a happy wee lad, that is just loved to pieces!!
 

 Love you little poppet!!
