Good Hips

Just a wee post to let you know that yesterday Mummy took me to the hospital again (it's my 3rd trip there since I left 10 weeks ago!) to get my hips checked because I was inside Mummy in breech, whatever that means.

U had to lie on my side and a lady put jelly on me and then scanned both my legs, and then I had to go to a different room where a nice man doctor wiggled my legs about lots. I smiled at him.

Then he told Mummy that both my hips are absolutely fine and I don't need to go back, yay!

Dizzy Rascals!


Ooh it's been a while since I did a "what we've been doing" so I'll summarise so as not to bore you!

Thursday - we stayed in the house in the morning (yes that's brave, I'd not done that in weeks) and it went ok. Kory and I got in some drawing much to his delight. In the afternoon we went to baby group as usual. This photo was taken of Krystal sitting in the kitchen while I was sorting lunch out. The doorbell went so I went to get it and it was only the health visitor who came in to me with both kids sat on kitchen units, oops!

Friday - In the morning we met up with Katy as I'd not seen her since she visited us in hospital, oops. We went to the big Asda for a wonder around instead of staying in. Kory got a new treat of a Frog Chair - partly as he has nothing to sit on in the garden and it's cheap, and partly because he loves the "Green Frog" song he sings at school.

In the afternoon we all (that's all the baby group) went to Alison's house. It was chaos, 14 kids and mummies. Krystal was a nightmare, screaming all the time, and not feeding. Silly girl! But she did look very pretty in her summer outfit before we went out.

Saturday - Yippee, James off for a week. We didn't do a lot, went to the huge Tesco to get out a drive and got a mountain of nappies (thanks mum!) then went to Dobbies Garden Centre for a coffee and a cake which delighted Kory!

Sunday - The weather was awful all day, so we went to yet more shops - to return a couple of gifts Krystal got for different sizes, to the toy shop to keep Kory amused and then to buy Infacol for Krystal. It's got to the stage we have to try something! Last night I finally got round to ironing the new curtains for the living room and hanging them - it really changes the room, it looks homely now! This is Krystal doing her favourite passtime, crying!!

So that's up till today. We decided to make an early start and head down to a place called Laurencekirk to Dizzy Rascals which is a soft play place for kids with a cafe for grown ups. Kory had a great time running about mad and we all had some really nice food which you can tell was all home made.

On the spur of the moment, we decided to head to Dundee for the rest of the day - we were already about halfway there. We got there and had a nice time going round the shops. I got a new top, we spent some of the money Krystal got as gifts on buying a gorgeous gold bangle for her when she is dressed up, and then I got some real bargain clothes for the kids - 2 cardi's, 2 t-shirts and a skirt for Krystal and 3 long sleeved tops for Kory for winter for a total of £10!!

We went for something to eat in the "Potato Shop" where Krystal decided it would be a good time to go totally nuts, so everyone started at us. Then James and Kory went to get a Frappacino from Starbucks. As you can see, this idea went down very well!

Numberjacks Are On Their Way!!


All of you out there who know us know we're huge Numberjacks fans in this house...well Kory is and James and I kind of just do as we're told!

For those who don't know what Numberjacks are (where have you been for the past 8 months or so!??) it's a show on CBeebies with 3D characters that are numbers, so Six is a number 6 and so on. They solve problems which are number related with the help of real life children agents. Look here and here for more info!

Kory has been addicted since the beginning and his counting, number recognition and even colours have come on so much from watching it. Until recently it was very helpfully on at 5:15pm which occupied him while I sorted dinner! The first DVD came out in April, which timed nicely with Krystal arriving, so he got it as a present. The new DVD is out in about 3 weeks (not that I'm counting!) He is also really good at the games on the CBeebies site matching numbers up.

So anyway, the point of this post...last night we got a comment on the blog from a Chris Ellis(on bottom of this post about Kory watching Numberjacks) so I had a look on the site and discovered he's the writer of the Numberjacks!! If Kory were old enough to know, I'm sure he'd be impressed, but I daren't tell him at the moment the Numberjacks are not real and they have a writer!!

So I emailed Chris and thanked him for his comment and a few emails followed, including the picture of Zero for Kory that I've put on here as it's his favourite number! So one day Kory will read this back and be impressed.

P.S. I have a soft spot for number 2, but it's not on often!

Poor Kory

A conversation we had today

Kory: Baby Krystal crying again?
Me: Yes, she's crying again
Kory: Noisy baby, yeah
Me: Yes, she is a noisy baby isn't she?

Kory starts to cry

Me: What's wrong honey?
Kory: Mummy cuddle Krystal AGAIN
Me: Yeah, I'm cuddling her because she is upset
Kory: Mummy cuddle Krystal, no Kory cuddle (huge sigh)

I felt so sorry for him, he was so upset. He's noticing she cries loads and gets cuddled for it. I promptly put Krystal down and gave my wee superstar a cuddle. He's been so good, and I feel so sorry for him feeling put out. I know he won't remember it though.

Fun Time

This week has been good fun. On Monday afternoon I went to Rambo's with Daniel, and our mummies and our babies. We played loads, chasing and tickling each other. We were hiding under the castle too. We were the only ones there so it was brilliant.

Yesterday was a very very hot day. I had school in the morning and Mummy took Krystal to get weighed again (only 4oz this week, she's not as much of a piggy as I was!) In the afternoon we went to Jessica and Sophie's house to play. I got a Pepperami as a snack, it was really yummy but Mummy screwed her face up lots.

When we got home, I got to have my dinner in the garden as it was so hot, which was a nice change from sitting at the table in the dining room. Krystal sat in her chair too with her sunhat on...well for about 5 minutes before she cried. She cries loads, and my new favourite thing to say is "noisy baby"

Today I went to school again and then Mummy took me to see some animals at the pet shop, and to get some new welly boots. They are great, they have a tractor and truck on them and are all fluffy inside. Tonight Daddy got out the camera nd I got to watch a video of when Mummy and Daddy were in Florida before I was born, it was very good.

My baby sister had her first injections today, she was a big brave girl and didn't cry much. She got a plaster on each leg, and tonight I shared some of my medicine with her to make her feel a bit better.

I'm off to bed now, night night. Love Kory.xxxx

Mums Visit


On Friday morning we went round to visit Hannah, Holly & Natalie. Their new conservatory/room is lovely, saves cluttering the house with toys! But contrary to my dream, the news team were not there to open it!! In the afternoon we went to the bus station to collect mum and her massive suitcase then came home and got stuck into the contents of it!

She had brought loads of presents from her friends for Krystal and also Kory. He was chuffed to bits that gran was here to see him and he had her dancing and everything!!


On Saturday, the weather was awful, it rained ALL day, so we couldn't get out anywhere. So mum and I took the kids to Asda and James did some DIY (yes I know, scary!) then got a nice chinese for dinner. In the evening James and I went to the pub for an hour and mum stayed at home. It was lovely to get out as it's not something we can do very often. I was scared Krystal would wake wanting fed, so we didn't stay long, but enough to get 2 drinks down my neck!


On Sunday we took Mum back to the bus station and then went ot Duthie Park. Kory shocked us by going on the big chutes humself - he's normally such a pansy with things like this we didn't think he would! He had a great time running about the place. We also went to B&Q and Kory saw a mouse running around!



Last night was a horrible night with Krystal, so today James worked from home. In the afternoon I took the kids out to Rambo's with Maria, Daniel and baby Josh. Kory had fun, Krystal screamed just for a change and I got home stressed. What a day!

My Brother


I love my big brother, he is funny and makes me smile lots. He runs around the place and I like to watch him. When Mummy leaves the room, he looks after me and tells me it's ok Mummy will be back soon if I get upset. Here are some photos and videos of us both this week.



Love Krystal

Candy Floss & Cakes

On Saturday we went to Cove Gala Day (Cove is where we live!) it was very busy and I got to walk like a big boy. After we had walked round and seen everything, I got some yummy candy floss. It was blue and very sticky...but really yummy!


Yesterday we went to a place called Inverurie for the day. We went out for lunch and then went to visit Coinneach's new baby brother. He was born on Saturday and his name is Eonan. Coinneach was sleeping when we were there, so I went out to play in the garden with Tiernan (the big brother) which was good fun. All the grown ups were cooing over Eonan, but he is like Krystal, he does nothing!



Today I helped Daddy to cut the grass, then made some cakes with Mummy. In the afternoon Mummy took me to the library to get some new books and then we all went to Asda. I got a new light shade for my room, and a new pillow for my bed. Krystal got a cool Piglet toy and a cushion for the seat in her room, Mummy bought lots of clothes and Daddy got food!


Here's me putting the icing on my cakes...

Our Week in Photos!

As I mentioned, we're busy right now. So far so good on the cot thing, this is night number 3 and she's only wakened once in 2 hours up there. Kory didn't have a nap today despite being in bed for an hour and a half, so I'm frazzled, so no story today, but here are some photos from the week...

Krystal makes herself at home in OUR bed!



I love black and white pics



Krystal's new friend



Me with the kids



James with them



Kory with Daddy



Playing on the floor



And a rare sleep!

Lack of Posts

Just to let you know we are still here. Been pretty busy getting out this week as Krystal is just not sleeping in the house (I have deja vu!) James is off on holiday now too so we're sharing the load a bit and taking turns spending time with Kory.

I've not really been taking many photos to put on here. Over the next few days, the evenings are likely to be taken up running up and down the stairs - we've put Krystal into her cot until her first feed. Until now she's been in her basket in the living room with us, but she's becoming more aware and restless with every noise, so she's now upstairs.

There didn't seem much point putting her in her basket upstairs as she's rapidly outgrowing it, so are doing the move to the cot gradually instead. Once we crack evenings, we'll aim for overnight too (that is once we don't need to go in every 20 mins, not doing that all night!)

So bear with me, normal service will resume soon!

Family Fun


Yippee, Daddy is home! Not that there is anything wrong with Mummy, but it's more fun with them both here. I didn't like Daddy being away and was very grumpy about it. We went to Kory's boring old playgroup on Friday morning which is no fun for me.





I got my fun in the afternoon when we went into town to meet Rachael & Caelan (he was born the day after me) for the first time since we came home from hospital. After bathtime, we went out in the car to get Daddy from the station.


I had a good lie in this morning. Mummy got up all happy instead of grumpy and tired. We didn't do much in the morning, but in the afternoon we went out for a family lunch to the Hungry Horse. The amount Kory ate he really must have been a hungry horse!

When we came home, I played ring o' roses with Kory (doesn't he know I'm too little?!) and we all played on the floor for a while too.





Then I did some dancing with Daddy while Kory played with Mummy's hair in the kitchen! I really enjoyed my day.
