Aden and I are going to the Library each Tuesday. MOstly to get out of the house, but also to read new books and possibly meet other babies and their Mums These are the 2 books we borrowed this week. Thank You Bear Written and Illustrated by Greg Foley This is a beautifully simple book with a lovely message - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Moo by Alison Lester A great book for littlies learning the animal sounds, with rhyming text and simple illustrations. Aden laughs when I make the animal sounds...not sure if he is enjoying the book or laughing at me! An easy one to make up your own words for.

Slowly slowly....Noah might be finished by Aden's first birthday....Last porgress shot was here ...not that different...lots more sky done

Aden Henry you are such a big boy now. I watch you change before my very eyes everyday! Movement It was just a matter of days between a rolly-polly baby and a crawling boy! That's right at just a few days short of 6 months Aden crawled! It started with comando crawling, at 5.5 months, where he would drag himself along (proving just how very dirty the floors were/are) to get what ever it is that was just out of his reach. His record so far is 13 'crawls' from Daddy to me on the carpet in the lounge. But he doesn't mind crawling on the hard floors either. It took just over a week for Aden to transition from comando to proper crawling and it was great to see. We could almost hear him thinking, the look of concentration on his face was just precious. His knees would come up to his hands but he just couldn't work out how to take the weight from 2 hands to 1 and when he tried he would nose dive into the floor. He would then revert back to comando crawling for a little w...

Aden finally has a hat! The top one in this photo is his! Trucks!! Ads can also see the tiniest sneek peek of Cate's hat too! That is 2 things done on my list for 2010!

I used to dread Australia Day...as it ment back to work day...not this year! DH returns to work tomorrow after 7 (looong) weeks off...so Aden and I can get back into routine...ie more sewing time without feeling guilty about the neglected housework! I hope all those littlies going to school for the first time tomorrow have a wonderful day...I imagine in a few short years I'll be sad sending Aden off to school! Just a quick one of my little Aussie kid!
