I take it back!

So as of my last post I said that Dylan seemed back to normal and all was well. Why on earth did I have to open my big mouth??? As of later that afternoon his feeding went to crap again!  For some reason Dylan just decided to refuse his feeds again and be a whole lot more grumpy. We've been thinking it could be to do with him teething, or at least his teeth moving around a bit under his gums causing him some pain and discomfort. Poor bubba! Although it has led to us giving him a new nickname. Gummi bear! Too cute!

The big news that also happened on Thursday afternoon, Dylan rolled over for the first time! He was having some tummy time and enjoying his toys when he leaned over a bit. Gravity assisted and suddenly he was on his back! He was instantly shocked, but super giggly and so pleased with himself.  Let's hope he starts rolling from his back to his tummy soon too!

Friday was Playgroup day again. We had a smallish group of about 8 or 9 mums and bubs. There were a few new faces again, so the word about our group must be getting out there.  A few of the girls volunteered to help out next week with some of the morning tea stuff so that's a relief. It was a nice morning and I hope everyone enjoyed it. At least I know I did!

We have decided that Dylan is ready to start solids. This afternoon we popped out to the shops to pick up some baby spoons, bowls, storage containers and baby rice cereal. I'm sure it will be quite an exciting but messy affair to get him feeding, so I think I'll start one day that my hubby is home. So stay tuned for pics of the first feeds!

I figured I'd better try a bit harder when it came to my cooking challenge so the other night I whipped up a delicious Spanish chicken and rice dish. I found the recipe online and amazingly already had all the ingredients. My hubby was rather impressed - I know this as he definitely went back for seconds!

We've got a busy couple of weekends coming up, so I'm relishing doing next to nothing this weekend. Next weekend is our car club's big show for the year. I haven't missed a show since I first went in 1998. It should be nice to see a few familiar faces (and cars) and bring Dylan along.  The VW Nationals used to have a drag racing event on the Saturday, and then the show n shine on the Sunday. The drag strip at Oran Park closed down quite a few years ago so now they are offering a circuit racing event at Wakefield Park instead. Wakefield is not only a few hours away, but it is always freezing!! My hubby isn't so keen on circuit racing, so won't put his beetle in. There is a drag racing event in a few weeks which he's looking forward to.  Back when the 1/8th mile drags were held we would both put our cars in and have a go. My beetle was probably one of the slowest on the strip, but I had heaps of fun! Not only did we both race, but at least one year my mum, her partner and my aunt all had a go!

Talking about having family fun, here's a cute pic I took from last weekend enjoying a great pub lunch with my brother for his birthday and my mum for Mother's Day.

Week 34 Unfortunately things fell apart during the week.  I was hoping that we were all on the mend but it quickly became apparent that we weren't, and we went downhill quickly.  There's been more whinging and moaning and sleepless nights and day naps and the tissues... boxes and boxes of tissues.  It's just no fun.  When the sleepless nights turn into cranky days, you just lose your shit sometimes. You yell. You yell at anyone who's there. You say things I'm sure you wouldn't normally say if you were well.  And decisions, oh my god, why is it so friggin hard to make a decision??? Like what should we have for dinner? Or should I put that other load of washing on or will it piss down with rain?? This week I've really felt quite isolated.  On my own little sick island where nobody wants to go.  Some days you just wish you had that magic fairy that would come and get your shit done for you.  I've been so lethargic this week that makes it seem everything

Overall not a bad week here. We've had a few outings, been on some walks and a 4th birthday party.  Its been a mostly wet weekend, and the perfect opportunity for cuddles on the lounge with my boys, and a little me time.  I've got the best excuse for some quiet days at home.  Hubby bought me (or was instructed to buy me) the box set of the Offspring TV show on DVD.  I love it! I've gone back to the beginning to watch the early years and see the episodes I missed out on, and to refresh my memory on the ones I saw.  So looking forward to the new season starting in a few weeks! Tristan has been pretty good this past week.  Napping has been reasonable and night times are ok.  He had a few feeding strikes, but I knew he wouldn't starve himself, so I haven't been too worried.  This past week he hit 12 weeks old and I'm noticing his size 000 clothes getting a bit tighter.  I'm sure by this age Dylan was barely into 000!  Tristan has been smiling so much, and I

Week 44 As Dylan's transition from babbling to talking gets better, I guess I also see the downside.  The demanding toddler can now tell me what he wants and I can't just pretend I don't know or can't give it to him.  Today's lunch didn't go down so well.  Not usually a fan of ham, and a lover of avocado, Dylan picked out the ham strips and gobbled them up only to leave the avo untouched.  Then came the "more ham" request, and the "more narny" (banana), and the "more cheese"!  I guess there are worse things he could be eating.  When he did finally go back to eating more of the sandwich there was facial expressions galore!!
