My Baby's All Growed Up!
I haven’t really had much time to write my IBOT post today
as I have just been so busy, and I am once again working today when I usually
don’t.
The weekend was massive, Friday was Punky’s birthday and I took
her to an indoor kids play centre at Penrith with Kelly HTandT and her kids for
the morning (click over here to see some super cute pictures) and she had a
fantastic time! The morning was a little crazy, she woke up in a bad mood and
so we spent the morning until it was time to leave with her whinging and me
wishing it was a year ago and she was the exhausted newborn sleeping on my
tummy!
We spent a few hours at the play centre and then she
promptly fell asleep in the car on the way home. I was not too happy about
that, as when it usually happens she is then wide awake once we get home and
won’t have a proper nap. And when we only live 25 minutes from the play centre?
Well, a 20 minute nap is not my idea of a proper nap!
I shouldn’t have worried though, as we got home and she
barely stirred as I got her out of the car, inside and into the cot. She then
proceeded to sleep for just over 2 hours! I could not believe it! She has a
nasty habit of not sleeping much for me and doing all her long naps when she is
being looked after while I’m at work, so I was pleasantly surprised, and it
meant I got to do a little blogging stuff and read some FYBF posts.
Friday evening we went to my Mum’s place for the annual
decorating of the Christmas tree. This usually happens the first weekend in
December, but as my sister Kate is getting married on Saturday we had to move
it forward a week and it made sense to combine it with Punky’s birthday.
Punky opened her presents, we had a Christmas feast, and then
the tree was decorated. I must admit I wasn’t much help as I was too busy
helping Punky play with her new toys! Once the tree was up we then had an
ice-cream cake for Punky and some apple pie for dessert.
I was so impressed with Punky, I thought she was gonna cry for
sure when everyone started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ but she was totally fine
and very impressed with the candle on the cake! She also thought the cake was
delicious, but then, its not every day she gets ice-cream so she was always
gonna love it!
Saturday was spent getting stuff ready for her party on
Sunday, with a quick visit up to the in-laws for some more presents for the
munchkin. Punky is so lucky to have such a loving family and I love to watch her
play with them and have fun, she is turning in to a really cheeky little monkey
too!
The party on Sunday went off really wel. It was a stinking
hot 38 degrees, but everyone seemed to have a good time, and most importantly,
nearly all of the food was eaten! I was imagining having 2 weeks worth of
leftovers that Dave and I were gonna have to try and eat our way through, but
thankfully everyone was in fine form and the fruit, sausage sizzle and salads
were gobbled down.
We held her party at the park down the road from our house,
and thankfully I thought to take her water play table down. Let’s just say
there were some very wet kids, and very jealous adults! Punky was absolutely
drenched before we even had the cake, but it didn’t matter, she was having a
good time, and most importantly, she wasn’t hot!
Yesterday we spent the day trying to get the house back in
to some kind of order, after being out most of the weekend. I don’t know about
you, but when we have busy weekends our house always manages to look like a freaking
bomb has hit it by Monday, even if we are barely there! It’s like the mess
multiplies! What is with that???
Thankfully it didn’t take long to restore a little bit of
order and I was left to play with Punky, and then amazingly we both had a two and
a half hour nap in the afternoon! It was amazing! The last few weeks Punky has
just started putting herself to sleep for her day naps and not just at
night-time and I am forever thankful for that. Makes everything so much less
stressful and makes for a happier Mummy and happier baby! Yesterday was the
first time she did it for me and I was so impressed, and a little bit sad at
the same time. My baby’s growing up! L
So how was your weekend?
Linking up with the ever fabulous Jess for IBOT, the coolest linky in town on a Tuesday!
