Look at what I have been given......

TOOFIES

This title is two fold...Joshua has got two official toofies and one more coming at the top. He has suddenly realised he can crawl properly and there is no stopping him, I cannot leave him alone for a second else hes gone! Then this morning he promptly pulled himself up in his cot and stood grinning at me 'aha look what I can do mommy'. I tell you nothing in my life has made me feel like having this little boy has made me feel, rejuvenated, exhausted, liquid yet strong. What a gift God has given us. Ok end the soppiness, after reading and watching Tia's post on Clever Girl Goes Blog - (thanks Ron I have learnt how to do it now!)a little girl on the Ellen Show that composed a piano piece for Ellen as she got her wish - made me all sentimental and gooey this morning. Children are really amazing.

Ok enough mush as we may just drown in all the porridge. So what is Josh up to these days, besides from above crawling now standing in cot, having tried fish, lamb, chicken with veggies and an array of fruit, I must say I think he has picked up my eating preferences, he absolutely HATES broccoli and proceeds to turn his nose away and clamp his mouth shut when I come near with the stuff, though he likes peas - which I HATE so maybe he has a bit of both of us. Josh is almost 8 months and cant believe I am going to have to start thinking about 1st Birthday parties!!!!

This past weekend, we had a child dedication of Luke - special friends of our - it was held at AOG in Tableview and afterward we went for lovely cake and tea in Panorama, and Josh had his first swim of summer in a clam with Luke and Jayden - Jayden was born just after Joshua and Luke is 2 months older than Josh. At first he cried as I thought the water was a bit cold - they put some more warm water in and then he started to enjoy himself, thank goodness my mom had bought him a cozzie ages ago and he had that to wear though Jayden went starkers :-)

So Josh has been given toofies - legs that know what they are doing now and I have been given a bundle of energy, joy and gorgeousness (I know that is not a word but I have now patented it so there!)

Have a great Tuesday all.
Love Nicci

Luke's Dedication

In my cozzie - hmm should I dive in?

Not quite sure of this swimming thing....

All snug in my towel afterward
