HANDSOME HUGHES!

Joseph is such a gorgeous perfect wee baby boy that he deserves a post all to himself again! Poor little thing is just fantastic and doesn't moan about all the chaos that happens in his lovley happy life!

I am loving having more time with him, he's just such a cool well natured smiley baby and I love him more than I could ever describe or put into words!

This last week has been a busy one for my wee lad! He's been learning lots of new things and developing and growing at a fast rate! (almost as fast as his daddy is sailing to get home!! lol)

* He now has 2 teeth - one that is peeping through daily and then disappearing again, i've decided that it's because the weather is rubbish and it's too cold for tiny teeth!
*He's Waving!!!!! Yaaay!!! (especially at himself in the mirror)
*Helps you to dress him (pushes his legs/arms into jeans, babygrows, sleeves, it's soo sweet!
*He holds onto his own feet and pulls at his toes when ur changing his nappy!
*Holds things in his hands passing them from hand to hand properly really looking at it or playing with it!
*Holds his cup!
*Drinks outta his cup!
*Tries to hold his spoon at mealtimes!
*Ate mince n tatties, chicken, soup, pasta, bread, cheese - loves all food!
*Helps you brush his teeth / tries to hold the toothbrush!
*Holds his ball and throws it!
*Sits on your hip sideways to be carried about!
*Tries to grab the water flow in front of him if you pour water out of a tub into *the bath when he's in the bath!
*Is now smiling for the camera
*Can roll over and over and over!
*Has had his funrock put up a notch of height to the next adjustment level!
*Sits in his Pushchair and looks around!
*Has been out in St Andrews in his furry winter snow suit! (first trip of many!)
*Tries to give kisses and cuddles!!!! It feels totally amazing!
*He cuddles in for his nighttime feed!
*Goes to sleep perfectly every night again, without any fuss or crying!

I know that to most people with kids, or people who have none, this is not that exciting, but it really is to me as - i adore how he just loves to learn and it is amazing how he is managing to do all this himself, just at his own pace and I love it!! And I really want to use this blog to record all that he gets up to and when it happens - in with our everyday life stuff! So we can look back on it as he grows!

On a sad note, one thing I have noticed is that Joseph hates shopping!!! Typical!!! Just my luck - cos that's now 2 men in my life that'll be moaning at me getting grumpy!! Oh well - I'll survive ...... I'm used to it! ;)

Here's some pictures of my little angel!!

lotsa luv xxxx

Summer Holiday .......

....... Well I have finally managed to gather and scrape together 5 whole days off doing beauty and I have no clients booked in!!! YAAY!! this is the first bit of peace and quiet I am going to have had since that two faced, nasty FAT $*&@ decided to screw me over at the begining of July and I am so looking forward to it!!! It's going to be how maternity should be - spending time with my hunky Murphy husband and beautiful baby Joe and not have everybody else in and out the house bringing him up and looking after him - which i hate!!! (i just wish it was me all the time!)

Anyway's, am so Sorry i've not been on here for a bit, things have been more manic than i could ever have imagined possible! We've closed the shop, set up a beauty room in the house and a tanning area in my summer house! Mur's been to aberdeen for a week and passed his course, baby Joe's not been sleeping, He's been seriously teething and on Friday 1st October at 2.10pm I found is first little white tooth spiking through! It was amazing and he's drooled and chewed worse than normal since, all the way through the weekend!! Poor wee man! He's now also eating breakfast, lunch and tea and we are making sure he gets a good relaxing bathtime and bed routine and hopefully it'll start to work soon!

Mur's out at the sportsmans dinner tonight at the craws and fingers crossed he behaves himself and comes home on time and in one piece and so far he's late!!!!

anyway i'd better go to bed i'm shattered and still have the bottles to do!!! xxxxx nighty, night night!!!

(just thought i'd let you all know that i am feeling much better and more relaxed about things now - i'm just so so so tired and have literally had enough of all the crap that has gone on - i'm not even going to list it all i've decided its all now in the past and can bloody stay there as far as im concerned! Here's looking now to the future and i hope its full of lots of love and happiness, cos i've had my fair share of the down stuff!!! xxx)
