Fiz is Five

Happy fur-birthday Fiz Fiz! The tiny ball of fluff we bought home is five today! 

Not quite such a tiny ball of fluff now! 

Carseat

We've had to take the inner cushion out of the car seat; our baby is getting so big now! Hopefully he'll have more room in there tomorrow! 

Making more room! 

Music Sing Time

Baby sing-song CDs? Check!

Baby drum tambourine? Check!

Now we're all ready for more sing time!

Happy Six Years

Happy "we've been together for six years" day!

Together for six, engaged for five and married for two years eight months and twenty four days!

Caz and Jon

It is BABY change...

Time for a mini-rant! Every Monday we go to baby swim class at the local leisure centre. Every Monday before baby swim there is OAP swim. Every Monday the OAP's clog up the baby change facilities. 

We get there, all four of the family changing rooms are full. You wait for one to become available and nine times out of ten an old person will emerge. It is infuriating. There are plenty of normal changing facilities available but they see fit to take themselves into baby change, knowing full well baby class starts soon after their session. *Sigh*  I can only assume it is because they are marginally bigger.

And what is worse, today, not only did I have to wait for one when we got there before the lesson started (and yes, an old person came out), after the lesson I had to wait again, with a wet baby getting cold... and you've guessed it, my baby was getting cold while an old person was using the changing room with the facilities designed for him. Rahhh I was so cross. 

The door is clearly signed old people...  might have to start making a point. 

So basically baby and child changing then... 

More Elephants

I even have lots of elephants on my clothes now! 

Colourful Baby

A Cup Of...

... water!

Look at me drinking out of my cup for the first time!

Doing it all by myself! 

Baby Car

Look at me driving my car! 

Vroom Vroom 

Star Trek

Ahhhhh! After a week or more of constant Star Trek I fear I may be going crazy!  Jon is obsessed. 

Only so many episodes I can take...

Funky Giraffe

One thing I've learnt about babyhood is that you can never have too many bibs!   

Some lovely friends bought us some funky giraffe bandana style bibs when Xander was born. They are gorgeous and I love them. So stylish with all his outfits! We're getting through so many bibs at the moment with the constant dribble stage,so a few days ago I bought 10 more (and on payday I will buy another 10!)  

They arrived in the post today! Yay! 

Cuteness

Inbetweener

Most of Xander's 3-6 months clothes are getting snug lengthways, so today we've started to phase in his 6-9 months clothes. Only it appears his 6-9 stuff is just enormous on him! Oh dear, I think we've hit an in between stage with clothes! Sorry if my boy look dishevelled for a while! 

Not quite there yet! 

The Tombliboos

It isn't every day that your husband tells you that the Tombliboos are his favourite while watching In The Night Garden with Xander!  He thinks they are cute; the way they pop out of their house, sit on the floor and  sing their little song! 

Jon and Xander love their snuggle quiet time when he gets home from work; watching a little bit of the Cbeebies bedtime hour before the little man goes off to bed. 

Ombliboo Tombliboo 
Knock on the door,
Ombliboo Tombliboo
Sit on the floor,
Ombliboo Tombliboo
Here is my nose,
Ombliboo Tombliboo
That's how it goes!

Sore Face

My poor baby has a sore face/chin.  We were already treating eczema on his arms and a little on his legs with cream from the Doctor, and now this has broken out on his face. It looks different to the eczema on his arms. I'm very anxious it is food related. It is so difficult to decide what is attributed to what when he is drooling and teething and weaning and eating all at the same time! Or if it is there 'just because'. *Sigh* Sad Mummy. I want to make it better. 

Poor Baby

Happy Half Birthday

Toy Shopping

What better way to spend an hour of the afternoon than visiting Toys R Us to buy our boy a half birthday  (yes he really is about to turn 6 months old already!) present ready for Saturday? 

Although I can tell you what Xander thought of our trip... he thanked me by puking all down the inside of my top! Nice!

We love this place! 

Swim Time

We went for a family swim today! Xander not particularly impressed with the wave machine... (or noisy school children! haha!) but we had a lovely splash about!
