"I just too busy"

Me: Draven, do you want a quick shower with mummy?

Draven (watching Little Einstines): No, I just too busy!

Brandon said his 1st word today!!

I had him in his cot whining while I did some laundry and he said mama while crying

I thought he said it the other day in the same situation but then I brushed it off thinking it just must've sounded like it, but this was 100% today, there's no doubt! It's like he was calling me to come get him lol

Passport photo shock!

I went to town a few weeks ago for my passport photo. When I compared it to my old one I was sooooooooooo upset that I'd gotten so fat and ugly in the last 10 years and it made me really determined to lose the lbs!!!

So anyway my new pic looked nothing like my old one and it made me want a new hair do etc and get a new passport picture taken. I'm shocked at what a difference! If you look at my old passport pic, then the one a few weeks ago, you'd think "no, not the same person" or "she's had a hard life!"
But if you look at my old passport pic compared to the photo I had taken today... you'd think "yes, same woman, 10 years older!"

Here's the pics...

Me 10 years ago...


Me 3 weeks ago...


Me today...



I should point out that in the pic where I look REALLY haggard, I'd gotten caught in the rain!

Check out my neck and chin, you can see my recent weight loss

He's growing TOO FAST!

We just got a Winnie the Pooh table out the attick that we got for Draven's 1st birthday. So Brandon's climbing everything now and pulling himself up on anything so we thought it's time to get this toy out!

He was standing playing with it for ages, then he got down, crawled accross the room, pulled himself up the sofa and walked along it to Draven's banana, picked it up and went to eat it!

Draven's 1st ear infection :(

Draven has his 1st ear infection, which is pretty good going as he turned 3 in July! But because it's his 1st, the all nighter with constant hugs and not even being able to pee without him crying for me was a total shock to my system! lol

My mum's offered to have him overnight tonight as I've had 4 nights in a row (although not all as bad as last night!) between Draven and Brandon.

All 4 of us have bad colds It's so heartbreaking to see my little baby (Draven) crying with pain all night! I cried several times myself!

Hense the diet is a distant memory this week! I've been living off hot sugary tea (with Milk of course, being English lol) and toast drenched in butter!

I dread to think what I've gained, but oh well, these things happen, back to it once we're all 100% (once I am at least anyway!)
