As of the end of July, the wee one was crawling. Boy, does life get harder! Suddenly i appreciate how much easier newborn babies are. Sitting on the couch, watching tv and feeding baby for hours sounds like total bliss now. This crawling/pulling himself up to standing/falling over/bumping his head and crying coz that hurts phase is sooo hard! I cant divert my eyes for a minute. He's also at that age where i cant be out his sight for 30 seconds without starting to moan, crawling to find me and climbing up my legs until i pick him up (which sounds quite cute now im writing this but is actually a pain in the butt when im trying to make lunch or dinner etc) Plus he's teething, which doesn't help. He has 4 teeth now, the last of which just came in this week and i thought we'd get some respite before the others start to arrive but no, today i see more coming along the bottom. Give me strength. In addition to all those moans, the older one has been hard work, probably because so much of my time/attention is taken up dealing with Aaron. Im glad nursery school starts back next week, we are in need of our routine back again and Caleb needs more stimulation.Oh and im still up through the night with Aaron and he's been waking for the day at 5.30am which, quite frankly, is killing me and turning me into a grumpy cow by 7pm. On the plus side, both my kids were sound asleep by 6.30pm tonight which is great. Shame im too tired to do anything with my time though....
Moan, moan, moan.
However, im grateful for my boys and i love them very much. Look at these faces! Too cute. Im just tired, busy, hormonal and grumpy :)

Oh no...I feel your pain! Ouch, 5.30 is a hellish time to wake up!
Oh dear, sounds like you need a break and an unbroken nights sleep!
Toddlers and babies can be hard work, i hate to disappoint you but when they are 18 they turn into vampires, they come home any time between midnight and 4 in the morning so you still get unbroken nights sleep - you have to get up for work and they sleep all day :-)
Oh they are darling!!! I know it's tough going in those early years ... want my 13yr old for a twist? lol

Oh yes, those times when they wake up much too early in the morning, when they teeth, when you always have to be in sight and within reach - I can still remember these times although my twins have been married for some years now and my daughter has a child of her own. Now these are sweet memories ...
