Brag post

I'm a mum. I like to brag about my kids 'cause I think they're the bestest. I'm allowed to do this. This is my blog after all.

{insert toothy grin here}


Here's Turtle toddling around. I *love* the early walks. It's so freaking cute.

Oh, and please ignore the background noise in both of these videos. This is my house, full of monkeys. There is always background noise (like right now, Zoe and Lana are locked in mortal combat over a helium balloon disagreement and it is generating a significant level of background noise).




And here's Zoe the artist. She *loves* to draw. You'll remember, she got started at and early age. She can entertain herself for hours drawing. Unfortunately it won't just be on paper. It will be on her, on her siblings, on the furniture and the walls. She's even drawn with chalk on the neighbor's lawnmower (oops, sorry guys).

Until recently, it's just been scribbles or circles. But now she draws faces, bodies, bugs, butterflies and even an occasional letter of the alphabet. (brag brag brag, but isn't she clever?)

She is a little ambidextrous but she does favor her left hand. Here she starts off drawing with her right hand just because I confused her when I handed her the green crayon and asked her to draw a green monster, but she didn't want to give up the orange one. She quickly switches to her other hand and takes over with it.

Thankful for sleep

I'm going to do this thankful thing again like I did last year. Just from now until Thanksgiving, I'll think of something I'm thankful for.

Today it's how good Glenn is at sleeping. This boy is just perfect in every way. He is so extremely sweet natured, he rarely complains or cries. He's so happy to just hang out with us and be cuddled and be a part of our chaos.

And he loves sleeping! We have the arms reach co-sleeper which attaches to the side of our bed and keeps him close to me, yet still in his own safe little space. I feed him and lay him in there at about 10pm and he goes right to sleep and sleeps through til morning most nights. When he doesn't sleep through he just wakes once to nurse and goes right back to sleep.



He's such a doll and such an easy baby to look after. I'm so privileged to be the one that gets to take care of him and raise him. He's just incredible.


Kaya is thankful


Lana is thankful

Scottish word of the week - 6



Last week's video blog of the word of the week was a huge success. I received many e-mails and spoken comments of approval and requests for more. So I won't leave you hanging any longer.

This week's word is - KEN

Irn Bru - If

Another commercial. I didn't see this one on tv, I guess I lived here already.

Nostalgia

I just remembered an old tv commercial and thought I might look it up on youtube and here it is. Anyone read this from the UK and remember this?




In the process I found some other old ones which brought back memories. I'll maybe make a few of these posts over the next few days. So watch this space if you're an American who wants to see how weird our commercials are in the UK, or if your British and want to bring back some old memories.

Zoe in the sand

I met at the park with a moms and babies playgroup the other day. Zoe was playing in the sand. I thought she looked cute with her hat and shades.

Hey monkey

Making Pizzas

We made home made pizzas for lunch today. Wholemeal pizza bases, homemade sauce with flaxseed meal. Nice and fun and messy.

The girls rolled their own bases (please excuse the jammies, we weren't going anywhere today so I figured why waste laundry by getting them dressed (though they ended up getting dressed later).



Then added toppings of their choice



Meanwhile Zoe played with pots and pans and things on the floor.


I tossed my base around for fun, but it didn't look quite professional. Kaya was tickled by it and filmed it. (I hadn't brushed my hair, sorry)

Here is Lana's finished procuct (before baking)
Here's mine
Here's Kaya's. she made a face on hers.
While they cooked Zoe fell asleep in her high chair. She's been taking naps in there all the time recently! Almost every day.
Then we ate them! Yum.

Ultrasound at 24 weeks

I had another appointment and ultrasound today. It all went well, everything looks good.

I have a few photos but I haven't bothered to get them on the computer yet. The photos didn't come out very clear but the actual u/s was one of the clearest I've had yet. Turtle was very active and swimming around and waving his/her hands all around and kicking feet. It was sooo sweet. His/her hands were up at his/her face, and feet were scrunched up pretty close too. Turtle is lying sideways, or transverse right now. Plenty of time for him/her to change position - multiple times before birth, so it's not a worry.

Anyway it was pleasant and I'm happy all is going well.

Here's Zoe with something to say

"I'm not picking my nose...

Here's my girl following in my footsteps.

All moved in

We had TONS of people over helping us move at the weekend. It was very uplifting to see so many people caring enough to help us out. It all went really smoothly. We're really enjoying our new place. there are wee girls living next door who Kaya and Lana love playing with. It's so much quieter here than our last house.


Ok here are pics..

Front of house



hallway

Girls bedroom (we needed to get them bunkbeds because we didn't have enough room for the others)



bathroom


kitchen and dining area



livingroom


Bakcyard - my favourite part - there are wild groundsquirrels that come right up to our back window. And woodpeckers.




And here's a video of me walking through the house. I guess you could call it a virtual tour

Sweet Sweet Zoe

She was being so cute at lunch today. Check out those toofers! I can't believe she's going to be 1 on Thursday!

Zoe Babbles

She's such a chatterbox.

Oh and by the way all the mess behind her was her doing, she just tore everything out of a box and threw it all around.

Kaya's sleepy song

Sorry I haven't been posting much. I'm in a slump without my camera. There's hope for that though, we're hopefully getting it fixed soon.



Here's Kaya singing a sleepy song.
