The Secret's Out!

2007-10-04T20:05:00.000Z

472 posts later, we're leaving Blogger to head to a new home. I'm a bit sad to leave here, but I've hated it for the most part. Hopefully our new blog that James has built will reduce some swearing of an evening!!

See you soon on the New Buckingham Blog

Next Directory Anyone?

2007-10-03T20:38:00.000Z

Right, so this is a bit cheeky, but if you don't ask you don't get! I've got the Next directory and recently got a thing in it to recommend a friend, so I recommended mum. I discovered when she spends £50, I get £20 credit on my account an she gets £15, which is fab. So tonight I was discussing with my friend Ann and she wanted one, so I said I'd recommend her too. I realised my second friend also gets £15 credit to her account when she spends £50, but that I get £30 to mine, so a total of £50!! That's great, thanks Mum and Ann!!

However, on closer inspection, I notice there is a 3rd (and final) form for a 3rd friend. When this 3rd friend spends £50, they too get £15, but I would get £50 further credited to my account. That's a lot of clothes for my little munchkins - so if any of my friends or family who read this don't have a directory, and would like one, AND would be likely to buy Xmas presents from there anyway as the £50 has to be spent before the end December to qualify, let me know and I'll recommend you.

Please? Anyone?

Down and Out

2007-10-03T18:31:00.000Z

I've got flu, have had since Sunday and feel rubbish. That's why there has been no blogs - James had to take Monday off work to look after the kids and he worked from home yesterday to ease breakfast, lunch and dinner times for me. Normal blogging activity will resume when I (or the kids!!) have something to say.

Night Out, Night In

2007-09-29T18:32:00.000Z

I got out last night!! Well it was more of a night in really - Trish from the Thursday Group had a girlie night at her house. There was lots of food and drink. I decided to drive though as both kids were choked with the cold and Krystal is teething, so it might all have gone wrong! As it happens, James didn't hear a squeak from either of them all night!

This photo was taken of me before I went out and it's confirmed for me that I don't like my hair straight. I have given it a try for 3 weeks now, and it annoys me so much I end up putting it up all the time. I end up putting my hands through it all the time, tucking it behind my ears and when I go outside it just goes fluffy in the wind and the rain.

Yesterday during the day we went to Brewsters to meet up with Ann and Emilie to play for a couple of hours. And today has been a bit of a day of nothingness! James put up a cabinet in the bathroom which has sat in the living room for weeks. We went to the new B&Q and Asda too, very exciting life eh?!

Krystal is really coming on now, the sitting is perfected and the eating...well to watch her you would not know she ever did anything other than eat 3 meals a day, with puddings. And I don't just mean little tasters, she's eating a lot of food!! Just like Kory.

Rubbish Week

2007-09-27T19:57:00.000Z

Had a really crap/hard week, think Krystal is getting her first tooth and both of them are getting a cold. I'm knackered from Krystal being up at night and this "feeding 2 kids and myself" thing isn't all it's cracked up to be! We've just been doing all our usual stuff, groups, attempting shopping and failing miserably! So here are a couple of Krystal pics, none of Kory as he's being a right grump!

New Menu!

2007-09-24T20:00:00.000Z

I'm just loving my new menu. Before it was milk for breakfast, lunch, dinner and every snack in between, now I am having all sorts of yummy things! Yesterday was carrots then banana for lunch. The carrots were VERY messy, but great fun.

For dinner I had potato and brocolli which was really nice, Daddy kept saying I was going to "impale myself on the spoon" whatever that means. I got some really delicious peaches after that. I feel very lucky.

For lunch today I had some sweet potato and cauliflower, then some pears again. But it was at dinner time everyone else looked shocked at how much I ate - even Kory which is saying something as he eats LOADS. I had peas and carrots, then half a banana and I still wanted more, so Mummy made me some porridge with pear flavour. Then I was full up.

I was listening at the clinic last week, the health lady says if I don't put on weight I need to go to the big hospital place where I went before for my hips. I don't want to go there again, so need to make sure I eat lots.

Love

My New Bedroom

2007-09-24T19:33:00.000Z

Today was great fun...Mummy and Daddy helped me to do up my room into a big boy bedroom. I've had a big bed for a while now, but still used my sleeping bag. But now it's nearly winter again I need something called a quilt.

The cover for it has a cheeky monkey on it and I got a light the same. I also got new curtains, they have stars on them and they make my bedroom nice and dark. There is a bedcover that matches the curtains too that will go on when my monkey one is in the washing machine getting all nice and clean.

I wanted Krystal to come under my new covers for a snuggle with me, I think she liked my new covers too. I couldn't wait to go to bed tonight, I even gave up my computer time with Daddy to go to my new bed!

Oh and we also put up my Tweenies posters on my wall. I got them at the Tweenies show a few weeks ago. I feel really grown up with posters. Do you like them?

Pear Day 2

2007-09-22T20:16:00.000Z

It doesn't seem like 2 years since I last did a post called Pear Day, but it is, almost exactly in fact. Against my better judgement (I wanted to wait till 6 months), today we gave Krystal her first food which was mashed up pear. It had to be really as that's what Kory got first!

But before we could do this, we had some seat juggling to do. Instead of buying a new seat for Krystal we decided it was cheaper to buy one without a tray for Kory and then she could have his old one. As he was so pleased with his new one, Kory was happy to give Krystal his other one.

Last night she sat in it for the first time with a spoon and some toys to practise for today! As she's now sitting herself it's easier, but she does sometimes flop a bit and the seat is slippy so I propped her up with a rolled up towel!

So back to today, James and Kory spent the morning in the garden tidying up the toys and weeds for winter before it gets too cold to do anything. Krystal and I chilled in the house, we had a nap together, cleaned the big bathroom, did washing, and I made some more food for her. I'm a bit unprepared as I thought I had 3 more weeks to get sorted!

After the kids got up from their naps, it was pear time! Kory was delighted at the idea of Krystal getting food - though now it's going to be harder to stop him giving her stuff. Up till now it's been easy to say she only gets milk. Krystal was fascinated by her bib as she's never had one on before.

She screwed her face up as we expected when it went in, but then couldn't get my hand back with more fast enough! She ate rather a lot actually, more than I expected her to!

Nice Face!!

Even Kory got in on the act. We noticed that he does something that we used to take the mickey out of each other for when we were feeding him as a baby. Next time you feed a baby, notice how you open your mouth when you want them to open theirs!! Honestly, everyone does it without knowing, even Kory!

I had wanted to do what's known as Baby Led Weaning with Krystal - where you let the baby set the pace and give them foods they can feed themselves with, if they can get it in and eat it, they are ready for it basically.

But as I need to get food into Krystal a bit faster than that, I've plumped for a half and half approach. Some mashed foods and also let her experiment with it. Here she is playing with some pear. She had great fun chasing it about the tray and taking bites of it then spitting them out!

This evening, James took Krystal for a nap while Kory and I made dinner (Krystal had some potato) and some chocolate crispie cakes. YUMMY! Then as we were getting the kids ready for bed, I noticed the sun was setting making the coulds really pink and lovely. Goodnight!

Wednesday

2007-09-19T19:43:00.000Z

Today we had school in the morning (I say we, Kory did while Krystal and I went for a coffee/play) then in the afternoon went to Leanne's house to play. Leanne had done her back in so we've not seen her in ages, so it was nice to catch up. As you can see, Krystal loves her new found skill and thinks it's really funny!

Krystal had a great time on the swing, laughing and giggling away.

Kory has been a right poser today in his new shirt his Grandpa & Tricia got him from their holiday. He woke up asking to wear his shirt so he did!

Butter wouldn't melt huh?!

This is Krystal in the Groove Station thingy which she's really liking now and starting to interact with herself...

...When she isn't being head butted by Kory!

Quite how they can tell me this wee podger is underweight is amazing!!

Here is a video of Krystal sitting today too.

5 Months & Sitting

2007-09-18T20:10:00.000Z

Krystal is 5 months old today and strangely woke up this morning able to sit. She didn't really show this off till the afternoon as we were busy. However there are 3 things that make her fall over:

1. The TV is wall mounted, so if she looks up at it, she crashes over!
2. The camera flash by a proud mummy makes her crash!
3. Her very proud big brother diving at her to cuddle her for being clever means a crash too!

I had her weighed this morning again - and she's still not gaining weight, in fact she's dropping lower and lower on the charts they use. So we've discussed it and decided to give her some food this weekend. It's earlier than we want to, but have to think of her health first and clearly she hates me feeding her and always has.

Week in photos

2007-09-13T18:58:00.000Z

This week has been pretty boring in the daytime, we've not done much. On Monday we had Laura & Maria round with their kids Lydia & Esther, Daniel & Josh, so with my pair there were 6 kids. Chaos! On Tuesday Kory had school in the morning and in the afternoon I took both kids to Berryden to go to Mothercare, return a jacket to Next and go to the "big toy shop" to let Kory look round. Then we collected James from work.

On Wednesday, again Kory had school and then we colected James and ate out. Today was busy as usual for a Thursday, breastfeeding group in the morning and baby group in the afternoon with a sleep squished in the middle! So as that's all we've done I'll just pop on the miscellaneous photos below:

My Washing Fairy

2007-09-12T21:35:00.000Z

This video was taken today. Kory had been playing with one of the tubs I keep in the kitchen for putting washing in once it's washed to take to garden or tumble drier. I had told him to stop kicking it, because it was to put the wet washing in...then the phone rang and I went to answer it. While speaking to James I peeked into the kitchen to see what he was up to and found him unloading the clean washing from the machine into the tub for me. He had to almost climb into the machine to get the underwear out. I didn't manage to start filming until I was off the phone, but he refused to come for lunch until he'd finished his job. He then spent the whole of lunch telling me he was a good helper and he did a good job!! Nothing like self appreciation!

Meal Out

2007-09-12T21:01:00.000Z

This afternoon we went to pick up Daddy from his work and then went down the beach to Fandango's for dinner. It was the first time we have been out in the evening to eat since Krystal came. It was fun. I got lots of different foods from the buffet, but Krystal was a bit of a whingebag in her buggy so Mummy and Daddy had to hold her. But next time we eat out Daddy says Krystal can have some food and sit in a highchair just like me.

After I had eaten my food, I got some ice cream and some jelly - my favourite! But this is where it got embarassing...Mummy and Daddy weren't happy with the food, so asked for the manager. He came over to our table and chatted for ages. I was mortified that they did this. It worked though as we only had to pay half the money that we should have, so it means more for my bank.

The man who worked the till got me 2 balloons while we waited and waited. Daddy's bank card was declined though he's not sure why. I could feel my face going all red by now...I just wanted to get out of the place! The man helped me tie my 2 balloons to my jeans in the hope I'd float upwards when I got outside. He also put one on Krystal's buggy to help her escape our embarassing parents too!

Maybe next meal out will be more successful...

Love

Hey Baby!

2007-09-12T20:34:00.000Z

Yesterday I got my first doll. She has a hat, a dummy that sticks in her mouth, a juice cup that she can hold and a toy giraffe she can hold too. I really like her, she's almost the same size as me!

She has eyes that open and shut too - I don't understand what makes it happen though so keep trying to poke them open again when they are closed.

Kory likes my dolly too, he changes her nappy, gives her juice and gives her dummy to her. But what Mummy found funniest was when he said she was hungry and needed some milk. He lifted up his macho Thomas pyjamas to reveal his boobies and gave her some milk!

Then he got one of my sick towels, put it on his shoulder and patted baby's back to see if there was any burps. There was. Then he wiped her mouth of sick and said she was all done now! Kory is very very funny!

Iggle Piggle

2007-09-10T21:22:00.000Z

Last Thursday I got a lovely surprise when Iggle Piggle arrived to visit me! When I opened him, he started singing and dancing. He's really good fun, I like him a lot. I help him find his blanket when he loses it and together we decide what the noises are we can hear!

Here I am giving him a little kiss!

I really like Iggle Piggle, so decided to package Krystal in the box he came in to send back as an exchange. But Mummy wouldn't let me! Spoil Sport!

Hair Today...

2007-09-08T18:25:00.000Z

This morning I went to the hairdressers (and left James with the 2 kids and a hangover, haha!!) to get a much needed cut. I wanted it all chopped off, but the hairdresser suggested taking about 6 inches off the longest bit then layering it so that the shortest layer still fits in a ponytail. This way I can wear it straight or curly. I'm glad she didn't let me hack it all off now, though I think I would go slightly shorter next time. Anyway, above is before and bottom is after. It's neither curly nor straight. I'm getting straighteners from Laura this week, so the fluffiness will be no more!

Incy Wincy Spider

2007-09-08T10:05:00.000Z

Yeah right! There was nothing incy about this spider who was on our front porch yesterday. As you know I am totally TERRIFIED of spiders at the best of times, so when James said the reason for it's size was probably because it was pregnant, it's just what I didn't need to hear! Have a look, it was MASSIVE.

Thank god I live in Scotland and not somewhere that this would look like a small spider!

Feeling Hot Hot Hot!!!

2007-09-07T19:13:00.000Z

Today was a very very hot day, the hottest I think it's been since I got here. We went for a nice walk in the morning to the doctors and then the chemist. Kory got some of those things he calls "Fweeties" and then we walked to Leanne's house. I was allowed to play with the Upsy Daisy that talked to me. I really liked her!

When we came home I was all sweaty and tired so I went for a bit huge sleep. Once I got up, we all had lunch in the garden and had a play. Maria came round with Baby Josh for a little while too.

I LOVE to watch the washing blow in the wind

Kory had something called an Ice Lolly and it was very very messy. He made a big puddle with it and then stepped in it and made footprints all up the path. Mummy said it would be very sticky tomorrow!

While Mummy made dinner, my lovely big brother read me a story from one of his new Thomas books. He laid down beside me so that I could see the pictures too.

All day, both Kory and Mummy kept trying to give me something that wasn't milk and it was in a yucky plastic thing. They said I had to have some of this stuff called water because it was so hot, but it was more fun to suck it then spit it out!! Here is Kory trying to make me drink it again!

The Tiny Princess 2

2007-09-04T20:52:00.000Z

Well after I posted that last post today, I got a call from my health visitor who had been reviewing Krystals weight after seeing me and was concerned. In a nutshell she wanted me to go and see a GP for a bit of a check over.

I did this in the afternoon and the short version is that yes she doesn't gain much, but it's nothing really to worry about. But she has been referred to the paedeatritians at the childrens hospital so that she is in the system. If once she's on solids she gains well, we'll just cancel the appointment. He thinks she's just going to be dinky.

And NO he doesn't think I should wean her yet!

The Little Tiny Princess

2007-09-04T11:13:00.000Z

She really is a little tiny thing. I had her weighed this morning and she's put on 4oz this fortnight, making her a diddy 12lb 7oz. At least she's getting the wear out of the 0-3 month clothes she got as presents! Shame the 3-6 ones are all summer ones too though...

My Visitors

2007-09-03T19:20:00.000Z

Today we went out to see Kory's friends in the morning and when I woke up from my sleep, my friend Caelen was here. He was born the day after me and was in the fishbowl opposite me in the hospital! We played together on the play mat for a while and Kory played with us too. We even went in the garden for a little while too. It was nice to see another little person like me for a change.

Mum Waz 'Ere!!

2007-09-02T20:01:00.000Z

On Friday morning, my health visitor came round to discuss Krystal's weight gain (or lack of) and as expected are just going to keep an eye on it. There is less than 6 weeks to go now until weaning anyway so it's not a big deal. My mum arrived in Aberdeen about 2pm and we headed into town to do some shopping.

Kory was really well behaved and walked really far from one end to the other and back again. As usual Krystal was a bit of a monkey, and then crashed out just as we were going to head home. So we went to the bookshop where Kory was treated to 4 more Thomas books and Krystal a couple from the "That's not my..." range.

We came home and had dinner then had an evening just chatting. On Saturday, it turned out to be a gorgeous day so we didn't actualy leave the house! We played in the garden mostly with the kids. As you can see I even braved the playhouse which I'm terrified of. Well, not the actual house, the spiders that live in it!!

Then in the evening James and I got to go out (for our anniversary meal) to our favourite indian restaurant. So once Krystal was in bed, we ran! Mum put Kory to bed. The food was yummy as usual and we brought back some Baskin Robbins for us all. Thanks Mum for letting us out!

Today we didn't do much either, Kory, Mum and I went to Asda for a rake around in the morning (the big Walmart one, not just a normal supermarket!) and then took Mum to the bus station after lunch. Then we went down the beach to a new homewares shop that's opened there which I couldh ave spent hours in, but a moaning toddler, shrieking baby and bored husband are not ideal for shopping!

New Hairdo

2007-08-30T23:00:00.000Z

I want a new hairdo - I've looked like this since I was about 17 with the colour varying slightly with the sun. Please give any suggestions by leaving a comment! All suggestions considered :o)

My 2 requirements are that it must still fit in a ponytail of some description as I hate not being able to get it off my face and it can't take too long to do each day as I don't have time, so straightening is probably out!

Thanks

Just a little warning

2007-08-30T20:17:00.000Z

Thought I'd write a blog for a change (shock horror I know!) after getting a few strange phone calls today and thought I'd warn everyone just in case.

This afternoon Julie got an answer machine message on her mobile saying:

"This is a message for Mr James Buckingham from your Bank. Could you please give us a call on (0845) 8501167 urgently please. This is not a sales or marketing call"

Well firstly why are you phoning my wife's mobile number? I don't remember ever giving that number instead of mine for anything and secondly "Your bank???" come on how stupid do you think I am!!!

They then phoned my house and left the same message.

This number doesn't appear on any of my bank's websites but I thought I'd follow it up with a phone call to the Bank of Scotland. Shock horror they've not heard of it and have said that they wouldn't leave a message on an answer phone because anybody could pick it up let alone say this is "Your bank".

Worrying though how whoever this is has got Julie's mobile number and our house number for somewhere.

Hopefully the search engines will pick this up as well but just a message to "Mr George Agdgdgwngo" out there...go and phone some other mug

James

*UPDATE 05/09*: Thought I'd add that I found this online as well: http://www.talkaudio.co.uk/vbb/archive/index.php/t-144344.html. Looks like they're trying a variety of techniques.

*UPDATE 13/09*:Well after the incident at the restaurant yesterday I decided to go down the bank today and find out what's going on. Well it looks like someone did try to use my card after all. They were trying to pay for a subscription to iTunes in America. So that number above is the Bank of Scotland or at least a company that works on behalf of the BOS.

It's awful that they phone up and actually say "The bank" and after confirming the details they did have my wifes number. God knows from where! They actually phoned again tonight as well which I'm assuming is because of me trying to use the card in the restaurant.

I'm getting a new card and card number sent to me in the next 7 days but in the meantime I thought I'd let you know that the number above (although not advertised anyway) is the BOS Retail Fraud department and not fake after all!

Little Tiny Princess

2007-08-29T20:12:00.000Z

I've been meaning to mention this for a week or two as it's so cute. When Krystal wakes up from a sleep, Kory loves going to her room first. I was downstairs one day and heard him on the monitor go in and say "Hi beautiful - my little tiny princess" I was just about in tears, it was so lovely.

Considering how much she cries, how much attention she gets and how much Kory misses out on because of it, he's really good with her, and loves her to bits. He kisses her lots, and likes to make her smile. When she does he comments on it and laughs. When she cries he sometimes goes to get her a toy to play with and other times gets a dummy (should I spoil this by telling you he rams it in her mouth and says "shut-up Krystal!) for her.

He's taken to having a sister brilliantly. I don't know how I'd have coped if he played up too.

Smile!

2007-08-28T20:47:00.000Z

Just a quick post today with a photo of me and Baby Krystal. Mummy had to bribe me to sit here like this, but it was worth it!

We've had a lazy 2 days, yesterday we went to visit Katy and Baby Matthew in the morning and chilled in the afternoon. Then today I went to school in the morning and Sarah, Coinneach & Baby Eonan came to visit in the afternoon. Nearly all my friends have baby brothers and sisters just like me!

Party Time!

2007-08-26T20:26:00.000Z

Today has been a busy day! In the morning we went to Brewsters for Ellie's first birthday. I forgot to take photos which is a shame as Krystal looked very pretty in her dress, but Kory had fun and as usual was the last one to leave the table of food!

We came home and both kids slept for a while, then we headed out again to a BBQ at Alison's house. All the usual gang were there, the food and drink was free flowing, and as you can see Alison looked just wonderful as the BBQ Queen!

It was all too much for Krystal though and she crashed out on James who was then stuck until she woke up again! Don't ask about the socks pulled right up to her knees, James did it, she didn't go out looking like that!

A Day with Thomas

2007-08-25T19:14:00.000Z

Today was the best day since the Tweenies!! We got up early and had breakfast and then went a drive to a place called Brechin about 45 minutes away from our house. When we got there we went into a station and guess what??!! The Fat Controller was there!

Once we paid him some money, we went right into the station and there was Percy and Thomas and Diesel and Oliver and Cranky Crane and Henrietta and all the Troublesome Trucks!! It was so good. I didn't know where to look first.

I got to go inside Percy and make his whistle make the Choo Choo noise. I was a bit scared of that though, it was very loud! After we had seen all the other trains, we went to the little tiny shop that was FULL of Thomas things. Mummy said she's never seen so many Thomas toys before!

After I bought a Thomas cutlery set and 2 new books, we actually went inside Thomas. I was very excited. We sat at a little table. And then....Thomas said Choo Choo and we started to move. We went backwards for ages and I saw lots of cows and farms out the window.

When we stopped, Mummy and me got out for a little walk at the station and then got back on Thomas and this time we went forwards. We went back to Brechin Station. I really enjoyed seeing Thomas and his friends, and it was a really hot sweaty day which made it lots better.

2007-08-25T19:06:00.000Z

Hi Gran, Grandpa, Nanna & Grandad

As you know I really like books and you all buy me some. Well there is a set of books I really like and there are LOTS and LOTS to collect. So I wondered if maybe you could get me them WHEN you get me books now? Mummy and Daddy helped me today put together a list so you know what ones I don't have yet, but lots of shops sell them.

I hops you don't think that is cheeky, I'm not asking you to buy me books, just when you do, I'd like these ones (Daddy will put the link on the right side too for me)

Love you all
Kory

Me and my Brother

2007-08-25T07:30:00.000Z

Here is a wee video of me and Kory playing a few days ago. For those of you not in the know, Mickey-John is in the kids TV show "Me Too!" - Mummy and Daddy are so silly, they didn't even know he wore a tie when Kory said he was wearing a tie like Mickey-John.

Big Blog

2007-08-24T21:26:00.000Z

I always say "oh it's a big blog" so decided it's about time I named it that! So back to Monday - it was the day from hell. The kids cried lots (both of them) and I had no clue why (either of them). By 2pm I had to get out so headed to the park round the corner.

By the time we got back, calm had returned and they actually played nicely on the rug while I sorted out some dinner which was a novelty. I've not managed much on that front since Krystal arrived as she's such a handful at that time of day!

On Tuesday morning, school went back, yippee!! I took Kory there then headed to the clinic to get Krystal weighed. She only put on 2oz in 2 weeks AGAIN, so they are keeping an eye on it. Not sure what they suggest, force feed her?? She's just not interested in eating.

I went back down to get Kory and came home and had a whole 2 HOURS of peace when they both slept - bliss! In the afternoon, my friend Laura came round with her daughters Lydia who goes to school with Kory and Esther who is 6 weeks old. We had a chat while the kids played. They get on really well together, are on the same wavelength and like same things, like jigsaws.

On Wednesday morning I took Kory to school again and I just sat and had a cuppa! In the afternoon, we had some visitors. Jill, Heather and Hamish (along with Alan) moved to Norway 2 years ago so we'd not seen them. But they came over to visit and brought Krystal this lovely Gap outfit and Kory a jigsaw game. It was lovely to see them all again, but I forgot to take photos!

At some point this week, it looks like Kory had the camera, as we just found this photo on it!!

Today has been a scorcher. I had a horiffic night last night, so Kory and I snuggled in bed when Krystal slept this morning. Then in the afternoon, we went to visit friends in Stonehaven who we've not seen for ages.

In fact we met baby Hannah for the first time...oops! We sat in the garden for a while, but it was so hot the babies (well Krystal) were getting so hot and bothered that we went inside to cool off a bit. Kory and EmilieWe then collected James from work and the fun and games began!

Alphabet Boy

2007-08-23T20:51:00.000Z

I'll try and get a better video of Kory saying the alphabet, he's not into performing if the camera is near and wants to see it and messes about. But he can say the whole alphabet only getting a little lost at "LMNOP"

Today Only!

2007-08-23T20:09:00.000Z

It was a busy day today with breastfeeding group in the morning (it's going really well) and then playgroup in the afternoon. It was a really hot day, and I finally managed to get one of my favourite outfits on Krystal! I got several good photos today, so will just pop them on...

Happy Anniversary

2007-08-21T20:54:00.000Z

I just wanted to say Happy Anniversary to James and I for tomorrow. We've been married 4 years now, which have flown past! We have 2 beautiful children, who have put us through a few challenges (especially Krystal!) but we always come out smiling.

I love my husband...he even bought me a HUGE box of Hotel Chocolat fruity chocolates as a present. Husbands just don't get better than that!

New Furniture

2007-08-19T11:10:00.001Z

Ok, so it's almost exactly a year we've lived in this new house and we're done hardly anything to it - to be fair we've been rather busy! - but this past wee while we've almost finished the living room. James has wall mounted the TV (impressed? I am!) and put all the cables down the back of the wall. We've got a new entertainment unit with the new stereo on it.

We also got a new coffee table which will eventually go in the middle of the room, but for now while the kids are little it's against the wall. You can kind of see it here with Krystal sitting on it! I love it, it's got Basalt panels in it which make it look realy nice. The kids also have new toy boxes which look nice in the living room when all the toys are away at night!

So all that's left to do is the biggest thing of them all - a new couch. Somehow I think it might be at least this time next year before I'm posting about that! Oh and I would like rid of the wooden flooring and a carpet put in, but thats another story!

4 Months Old

2007-08-18T21:43:00.000Z

Happy Birthday to me! I'm 4 months old today. I don't cry as much, I like to play with toys now and grab things, especially Mummy's hair. I love to watch Kory running around and I enjoy spending time cuddling my Daddy. I don't roll yet, but I'm trying to do that sitting up thing so that I can watch TV better. I've also learnt to shriek really loudly. It's great, it gets Mummy and Daddy's attention as they think I'm going to cry!

Oh What a Week!

2007-08-17T19:38:00.000Z

Well this week has been yuck. Monday was a horrible stressy day - won't go into details, but having feeding issues with Krystal - and Monday night was worse. Kory is teething (we think) and ended up in bed with me as I was fed up getting up and down between him and Krystal. On Tuesday morning after James went to work, I wasn't well and he ended up coming home. I spent the day in bed.

By Wednesday I felt a bit better, but James had whatever it was so didn't go into work again. I'm glad I felt human again as Kory and I had tickets for the Tweenies which he was excited about and have had since January! We went with Maria and Daniel. Kory absolutely loved it, he sat in amazement for about 20 minutes looking before he joined in clapping, singing and dancing.

Thursday was a much more relaxed day, we had breatfeeding group in the morning, then went to the park in the afternoon. Just after we arrived, the rain came on full pelt and Kory chose that moment to go down the big slide. His jeans were was soaked. So we had to leave again to get him changed. Instead we went to Brewsters to play.

This morning I had to wait in for our new furniture to arrive. While I was waiting our new neighbour Mavish came in with her baby boy Ayaan for a wee chat. In the afternoon after the furniture arrived, Leanne brought the girls round to play for an hour before we had to head off to get James from work.

I'm not even going to try and go back to last week with what I missed, I'm sure it wasn't that interesting! Have some photos instead...

Don't mess with me or I'll punch your lights out!

Chocolate Dipping

2007-08-09T21:45:00.000Z

Last weekend at Mums house, mum got out a present my Aunt Doreen had given her. It was a chocolate dipping kit (Hotel Chocolat, yum!) So we heated the chocolate, chopped some strawberries and set to work. Here is mum with Kory enjoying it.

Hmmm, chocolate

Yummeeeee

And lastly...Laura had one too many Amaretto Cherries!

Peas and Picnic

2007-08-09T12:30:00.000Z

This week has been quiet. On Tuesday, Mummy and I went to Asda food shopping. We bought some pea pods, but I didn't know what they were...until yesterday. Mummy gave me some and showed me how to open them and get the little treasures inside...I love peas!

Here is me, Daddy and Krystal having a picnic lunch in the garden yesterday. Though Krystal didn't actually have anything to eat. It's not really a surprise that she was only 12lbs when she was weighed on Tuesday!

Krystal wore a dress again, Mummy was all excited, but I just don't see the point in it, she spends more time with it round her tummy than looking pretty!

Green Frogs!

2007-08-08T20:40:00.000Z

Last week when we went to Costco, Mummy bought me a new towel. It's really good because it is a green frog and I really love the "Green Frog" song that I sing at school. Here is me after my bath last night wearing it.

And here is Krystal sitting in my green frog chair last week. I think she likes it too!

Glasgow & Dundee

2007-08-08T20:22:00.001Z

As promised here is the bit of our trip I missed off! On Monday morning we left Mums house about 9am and drove to Glasgow to visit my Gran. My Grandpa is currently in hospital very ill, so she was glad of some company and to meet Krystal for the first time.

My Dad had come over and was there too, so he played with Kory mostly. He was absolutely fascinated with the set of Russian Dolls that were on the fireplace and spent ages putting them inside each other and taking them out again. Must find us a set of these me thinks!

True to form, Krystal cried for most of the time we were there! But she did squeeze in a cuddle with her Grandpa first.

When we left after a couple of hours, we drove as far as Dundee and stopped for some lunch. We went to pizza hut and had a buffet, which was yummy. We then went to a massive Toys 'R' Us. James bought Kory Dizzy, Roley and Muck toys which he is delighted with as he already has Scoop and Travis (for those not 'in the know' these are the vehicles from Bob The Builder) Krystal got a Vtech cow which sings and generally makes a lot of noise!

Ayrshire Trip

2007-08-07T19:30:00.000Z

On Saturday morning we packed up the car and headed on a 3 hour journey to Ayrshire to visit my Mum and Tom. Kory insisted on packing his Thomas suitcase and wanted to put it in the car before he's even got dressed. It had books and toys in it and he was chuffed to bits with it!

The drive was ok initially, we had to stop near Stirling as Krystal needed fed and Kory needed to burn off some energy. We finally arrived about 2pm and got lunch. Then Kory and I went to Asda with Mum while James had a well earned nap with Krystal!

On Sunday morning we went to visit an old school friend of mine, Nicola, her partner Craig and little boy Cameron who is 2 as well. The boys played while we had a good old gossip! Not very sure why they both have their tongues stuck out in this photo, I didn't notice until I looked at them on the computer!

After the kids had both had a nap, Mum and Tom took us out to a carvery lunch. As you can see Kory filled his boots with as much turkey and cranberry sauce as he could possibly get in his mouth. Laura came with us after she finished work which Kory was just delighted about. I'm sure he thinks the sun shines out of "Auntie Lola's" bottom!

But the whole event was just a bit too much for Krystal who fell asleep in James' arms in the hall of the hotel we were at!

That evening James and I got a bit of freedom, we went out for a drink and then to get chips and curry sauce which reminds me of my childhood! We even got a can of Irn Bru and went in the car and sat at the seafront to eat them, YUMMY!

We headed back via Glasgow yesterday - but I'll do a different post about that!

Last Weeks' Antics

2007-08-06T20:53:00.000Z

Well since Mummy clearly isn't going to tell you about the fun we had last week, I will! Daddy did some grass cutting while I watched him from the window, but I forget which day this was on now.

I do remember that Wednesday was a really good fun day. We went a little drive to Dizzy Rascals again. We met my friend Daniel there with his Mummy and Daddy. Instead of playing on the small bit for our age, we went on the Big Boys bit and went on the HUGE slides. The man even polished them for us to make them even more slidey!

On Thursday morning Daddy took me to the park while Mummy took Krystal to their group. I'm glad I didn't have to go, it's REALLY boring. In the afternoon I went to my group, Krystal stayed home with Daddy. That was fun having Mummy to myself for a little while.

On Friday we had a bit of a lazy morning then in the afternoon we went to the car garage to let the man have a look to see how much it will cost to get it fixed. Then we went to Costco. I got a new alphabet Thomas game and we bought lots of food.

Other than this stuff, we just had some lazy chilling out time as the photos show! I don't really like getting my photo taken any more, so most of them are of my sister as she is very funny and likes the camera just now!

Here is Mummy with Krystal in her little pouch. I think she looks like a little baby kangaroo in there.

Going Potty!

2007-08-03T20:38:00.000Z

Literally! Kory has been brilliant this week with weeing in his potty, he's not had a single accident or puddle, so it's safe to say he has that sussed. However, without giving details - he hasn't sussed the other type. Not that he is having accidents or anything (thankfully!) just that he won't go. He holds it in all day and then by dinner time is upset and has a sore tummy. He then gets hysterical if we suggest using potty or toilet. Tonight he'd not even go in nappy when we put it on or when I tried bribery! Just need to persist!

Will do a proper post soon.

Fandango's!

2007-07-31T18:49:00.000Z

Today I was a really good girl. After a lovely long lie with Mummy, I had a nice play then Kory and I both had our naps. When we got up we went out to the beach to go to Fandango's for lunch. I sat in my buggy and giggled while watching the fishes in the tanks.

Kory had lots of yummy food and he wouldn't share it with me, he kept telling me "Tistal only gets milk" and I don't think that's very fair. So I decided to show Mummy how upset that makes me and throw a wobbler when I was getting my milk!

Little Becky

2007-07-30T12:30:00.001Z

I heard this on Radio 2 on Friday on the way to work and I was in tears of laughter. Becky is an 8 year old girl from Dublin who does prank calls. What's great about them though is she uses that "innocent" kid approach to really keep them on the line.

There are a few of these going around online but this is by far the best. Check this out, it's SO funny:

Smiley Girl & Potty Update

2007-07-29T20:08:00.000Z

As you can see, Krystal doesn't always cry, this was her being all smiley and happy before bedtime tonight.

Today was day 1 of potty "training" as Kory wasn't well so we decided not to do it yesterday. I use the quote marks as if today is anything to go by, we didn't have much training to do! He has gone on the potty every single time, no puddles, no accidents, yay!

I know it's only day 1, and we've yet to brave leaving the house, but I think it was a pretty good start!

Auntie Laura and Pants!

2007-07-27T19:01:00.000Z

This week has been great fun. I have lots and lots of photos. On Monday morning I went for my first proper visit to the dentist. After Mummy went on the big seat and got a filling, I went on there. It went up high and then it lay backwards and I opened my mouth really wide for him to look inside at my teeth. He said I was a really good boy and I got 2 stickers. I chose Tigger ones because I like Tigger. In the afternoon I went to Rambos like I ususally do on Monday's!

On Tuesday we didn't go out much, but Rachael and Caelen who Mummy met in hospital came to visit us. They brought me presents, one was a ball with worms and blood inside it which is so cool. We walked them to the bus and went to a different park on the way.

On Wednesday morning we went down to playgroup. I played with Daniel and Krystal had a little sleep with one of the childminders which she NEVER does at playgroup, she normally cries! After my lunch we went to the doctors to get Krystal weighed. She is now 11lb 14oz so put on 7oz in the past 2 weeks. So she is still little, but I am too and I think the best things come in small packages!

Wednesday night was really good. I got my jammies on as normal and then once Krystal was in bed, Mummy took me out in the car to go to the station to get Auntie Laura. I was very excited. On the way home we even stopped off to get some pizza. By the time we got home and I had a little bit of pizza, it was nearly 9 o'clock!! So a very late night for me.

On Thursday we didn't do much, Mummy went out in the morning with Krystal so I did some painting with Auntie Laura, and some Play-Doh too. It was great fun. In the afternoon we went a walk and went to the park.

Today we got up and got ready to go out early. We went to Duthie Park and met Jessica, Sophie and Leanne there. We played for a while on the massive slides, then went to the Winter Gardens where there was a display of beasties on for little people. I saw a tarantula skin, a snake skin and some creepy crawlies!

When we got back to the car, Krystal was crying lots. Mummy managed to go "bump" into a car behind us as we were coming out of the parking space. Silly Mummy! In the afternoon we had to take Auntie Laura back to the train station which was sad. I like it when she is here as we have good fun. I hope she comes back to visit soon.

We went to get Daddy from work after that. He is now on holiday for 2 whole weeks which will be really realy good. Lots of playing, yay! When we got home, Mummy and I got out the fabric glitter pens and we decorated 2 pairs of my new big boy pants. Tomorrow I am going to stop wearing nappies and I will use my potty. So I got to make my pants all nice. I did some squiggles and dots on my ones and Mummy did some stars.

I'm also going to be wearing my new jelly Shrek shoes. I really like them and chose them last week. Mummy is really impressed too, but because if I have something called an accident, it means my good shoes don't need washed! I have a sticker chart all ready and when I fill it up, I will get the new Numberjacks DVD as a present. I am so excited about that, it came out last week and I've still not seen it, so I have to use my potty lots to collect enough stickers!

Me and Mummy will let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!

Bounce Bounce Bounce

2007-07-22T18:55:00.000Z

Last week we just did the usual things, breastfeeding group and baby group on Thursday and had the twins and Daniel round to play in the garden on Friday. I think someone needs to tell Kory that you are meant to roll the ball in skittles, not kick it!

Now that we've discovered Krystal's problem is when she's tired, things are a lot easier, but it means we can barely go out as she will not sleep in the car or in her buggy, only in her cot in the dark. This photo shows her being totally amazed she has hands, if only my life were that simple!

This weekend has been a totally lazy one, we've done very little round the house, and not really been out.Well, apart from yesterday Kory and I went to the Next sale and got loads of bargains and today a quick visit to B&Q today as I was getting cabin fever. I'm still not very well with these stupid tablets, so not got much energy.

Yesterday we decided the time had come to dig out Kory's old door bouncer and give Krystal a shot. She wasn't exactly impressed with it, but didn't cry either. She'll get used to it soon I suppose!

Now she's in the big bath with Kory, they had some bubbles last night. She was pretty tired and had been crying just before, hence the big red puffy eyes!

Yesterday Mummy took me to get my hair cut as I'd been asking for ages as it was too long. Don't I look really grown up, the lady put on some gel for me which made it really spikey, I love my new hair. Here is me pulling a very silly face too!

3 Months Today

2007-07-18T19:24:00.000Z

As the title suggests Krystal is 3 months old today, and to celebrate, she had a needle stuck in each leg...poor baby! She yelped when they went in, screamed when they came out but then settled and smiled at the nurse.

She's been really sleepy today, not wanting to wake for milk and out for the count tonight. Maybe the Calpol helped!

So now she's 3 months, it is hopefully going to ease a bit...anyway, Happy 3 month birthday Krystal!

2 Days in Photos

As we've done a total of NOTHING for 2 days (I've not been well so not been out), I thought I'd just post a few photos.

Scorchio!

2007-07-15T20:21:00.000Z

Today has been a really hot day. I woke up not well this morning (side effects from drugs I'm on for a breastfeeding related illness - won't bore you with details!) so after I put Krystal for a nap, James took Kory out to the park and I went back to bed. I eventually got up about 12pm by which time Kory was in bed.

We all had lunch in the garden, Kory was delighted with his Halloumi, pitta bread and tomatoes! And Krystal even played in her seat. But as babies do, they lull you into a false sense of security and then do a complete U-turn. So James went for a nap with Krystal for an hour while Kory and I played and had ice lolly's. I polished Kory's chute with furniture polish to make it really slidey, he was delighted and spent the rest of the afternoon zooming down it! I've now got a burnt left shoulder though - yes it was *that* hot!

Big Bath

2007-07-14T19:09:00.000Z

Today was a really good day, I've not had to cry to tell Mummy and Daddy I am tired and I went to bed and slept lots! Mummy even went out with Kory this afternoon. This is me, Daddy and Kory playing on the floor this morning.

All the way through dinner I played with my hippo. I have been staring at him for weeks now, and have finally worked out how to reach out my hand and hit him. He is very funny as when I do he sings to me.

Once they had all eaten nice food, and I had boring old milk, it was bathtime. But instead of my usual bath, I got to go in the big bath where Kory goes. It was really good, lots of space to swim around and I even got some toys in too. This is Tigger, Kory let me borrow him which was very nice of him.

When I got out I had a lovely cuddle with Mummy before I got my pyjamas on.

But I soon got very cold with no clothes on and Daddy insisted on taking my photo again, it's not very flattering is it? But now I am very tired and am going to bed. Night night.

Breastfeeding Group

2007-07-12T20:23:00.000Z

Something I've not posted on here about is the new group me and my friend Sarah have started. As the title suggests, it's a breastfeeding group and we had our first one today. Only one other person came, but it's one more than we expected on day 1!

We have the support of the health visitors, the community midwives and the parentcraft co-ordinators at the maternity hospital who are all going to help us promote it. The community education people are also right behind us, so we're really hoping it works out!

Wish us Luck!

Hangovers & Babies...

2007-07-08T19:14:00.000Z

...don't mix! I was out last night at my friend Leann'es 30th birthday party and despite being home by 12:15am, felt knackered this morning! Kids just don't lie in when you need them to eh?!

We actually all went to the party in the afternoon, as it was a BBQ and her twin girls were there so Kory went to play. Then at bedtime, we all came home and put the kids to bed then I headed out again for some freedom. Here is James and Kory before we left with his wine!

Kory is very into smoothies just now, so both yesterday and today we've been firing in random fruit and drinking smoothies! Today was a lovely day and we spent most of it in the garden, until we went to Homebase to get a new shelf for Kory's room. So that will hopefully be put up soon so he can get photos and things out that are still in boxes from when we moved!

James is off work tomorrow for a local holiday, so I have a nice short week, woohoo!

400th Post!!

2007-07-06T19:38:00.000Z

Woohoo, this is the 400th post on our blog and it's my turn to do it. I feel special, but it's really down to all Mummy's hard work we've got to 400. She spends AGES sorting photos and writing stories about us all. Well done Mummy!

This week has been a busy one as usual. On Monday morning me and Krystal were both really grumpy as we'd had a busy weekend with visitors and then we were back to just Mummy. So in the afternoon we went to Stonehaven and went to a park.

Tuesday morning I had school which was good fun and then as it was so hot, we went to Duthie Park with Jessica, Sophie and Leanne. We had a little picnic and then did some running up and down the hill. We went for some ice-creams and then met Ann, George and Liam who I played football with.

On Wednesday I had school again and it was the last one for the summer, so no more Funky Monkey for ages and ages. Later on we took Krystal to the doctors and then went to Brewsters to meet Jess and Sophie again. We all had great fun playing.

On Thursday it was really sunny again, so we went round to Daniel's house to play in the garden in the morning. I got to see his guinea pig, Yogi. She likes me. Then in the afternoon we went to baby group.

Today we went to visit Hannah, Holly and Natalie. We did drawing, played with toys watched some tv and then I even got to eat my lunch there. It was yummy and I even got an ice lolly after it. It was really cold and I couldn't finish it. Krystal slept the whole time almost, but that is much better than when she cries. She does that a lot.

We didn't do anything in the afternoon, but the rain was really really heavy and the sky tv wouldnt work, so we watch Shrek instead! Then after we got Daddy from work we went to buy lots of fruit juice to make yummy smoothies. They are my favourite thing just now! Now Daddy is off for the weekend and we're going to a party, so there will be some photos from there soon.

Love
Kory

James

Holiday Week

2007-07-01T18:37:00.000Z

Oops, I didn't realise I hadn't updated this for a week. With James being off last week we were pretty busy. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday were just normal days, as Kory had school and then the car was in the garage (AGAIN!) to get the brakes fixed. They had better be done this time, as that's over £700 now.

Kory fell off his Winnie the Pooh car on Thursday mornign and crashed into a wall and got a big bruise on his face!

On Friday, James took Kory and Krystal to Rambo's in the morning and I did some housework - it was actually quite nice in a strange way to be by myself regardless of what I was doing! In the evening Coral and Chad (James' parents) arrived from London for the weekend. Both kids were in bed, so I got to open all the pressies for them (thanks C & C!)

On Saturday morning Kory was delighted to find his Nana and Grandad in the spare room, and even moreso when they produced several new books for him! The whole weekend we've heard "Nana do it" and "Grandad do it" The weather was lovely, so we decided to go to Storybook Glen for the day.

It's a childrens place set in lovely gardens, with lots of (very bad) models of characters around the place. The don't look much like what they are meant to be, but the kids don't seem to care. I think I've been spoilt having been to Disney twice too!

We spent a couple of hours wondering around then headed for some lunch. Once we were done, we decided to head to Stonehaven as there was a European market on. It was smaller than we thought, but we did get some yummy pancakes before we came home again.

After both kids were in bed, James and I went to the pub for a couple of drinks. Neither Kory or Krystal made a squeak the whole time we were out, yet tonight Krystal just won't stay asleep.

Today the weather was rubbish all day. Everyone went to B&Q this morning and then James made a roast for lunch. After lunch Coral and Chad had to head off to the airport, so we headed into town for a while.

Enjoy the rest of the photos and I'll pop the videos on this post another day as I am off to bed now as I've had 3 rough nights and feel awful!

Good Hips

2007-06-28T19:49:00.000Z

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!

2007-06-25T18:28:00.001Z

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!!

2007-06-23T10:10:00.000Z

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.

Julie.xx

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

Poor Kory

2007-06-22T20:17:00.000Z

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

2007-06-20T19:29:00.000Z

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

2007-06-18T20:10:00.000Z

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

2007-06-14T19:29:00.000Z

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

2007-06-11T12:08:00.000Z

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!

2007-06-09T19:04:00.000Z

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!

Lack of Posts

2007-06-07T19:35:00.000Z

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

2007-06-02T18:33:00.000Z

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.

Home Alone

2007-05-31T10:32:00.000Z

OH MY GOD, I'm home alone with 2 kids! James has gone to Edinburgh with work. Scared? me? No way!!

Just a brief update - Monday we went to Rambo's, Tuesday and Wednesday Kory had school. I got Krystal weighed on Tuesday and she was 10lb 5oz. Tuesday afternoon my friend Ann came to visit and brought me these lovely flowers and Wednesday afternoon we went to Leanne's house.

So far this morning hasn't been too bad. Maria and Daniel came over to play which Kory loved, the boys were shrieking and giggling lots. Maria STILL hasn't had her baby, it has to be soon! For now both kids are sleeping, but I'm sure that won't last long!

Drawing Outside

2007-05-27T18:37:00.000Z

When me and Mummy (and Krystal) went shopping on Friday I got a present in the toy shop - huge chalks for drawing outside! I get to draw on the slabs and not get into trouble for it, how good is that?!

It's a Dress!

2007-05-26T19:33:00.000Z

Ok, this is an odd post, but I'm excited, so humour me! Krystal wore a dress today for the first time. We were going to a party, so she wore her pretty white and pink one with spots and a little cardigan. It was great getting her into it and seeing her with it on. When you've had a wee boy, it does feel a bit clumsy holding someone and trying to keep it down and not round her neck! Some photos of her in it!

Party Time!

2007-05-26T19:01:00.000Z

I've been so busy for the past few days, I've not had time to get on the laptop! On Thursday morning I went to a play area, but when we got there the play place was closed, so we went to Maria and Daniel's house instead and I played at chases with Daniel in the garden. In the afternoon we went to our group as usual.

On Friday morning we were at the twins' house to play and Mummy went to the doctors. The bit on her tummy where baby Krystal came out of is sore and she has got some tablets to take to make it all better now. After I had my sleep, we all went in the car to the shopping centre. I like it there, I got to go in my new buggy and we went in lots of lifts. Mummy's friends all said she was very brave taking me and Krystal shopping alone already!

Today was a good day, I spent the morning chilling with Mummy while Daddy and Krystal slept. Then we went to a huge toyshop to spend my birthday money from Auntie Kelly. I fell asleep on the way home in the car. When I woke up I got my posh shirt on and we went to Jessica and Sophie's birthday party. It was in the same place where I go to school.

There was lots and lots of food, a bouncy castle and some other toys to play with too. The girls looked very pretty with their fairy outfits on, and I even got a kiss from them both before I left, what a lucky boy! I'm now very tired from all the running about so am off to bed...goodnight!

Sugar and Spice

2007-05-23T19:27:00.000Z

What are little boys made of?
Snips and snails, and puppy dogs tails
That's what little boys are made of !"
What are little girls made of?
"Sugar and spice and all things nice
That's what little girls are made of!"

So I have one angelic little baby sleeping and one typical little boy in the garden this afternoon poking a wiggly worm with a stick and laughing when it moved, then poking it again! YUCK! We've had a busy day today again, Kory had school in the morning, and I went to the coffee shop which was bliss just to chill out. After Kory had his sleep we went to the baby clinic in the new surgery to get Krystal weighed. She is now 10lb exactly, so another 6.5oz this week, little milk monster! We then went shopping and bought some baby presents (I have so many friends due soon) then came home and did domestic stuff!!

Lots of Playing

2007-05-22T19:27:00.000Z

On Sunday we didn't leave the house and we were all a bit frazzled by the end of the day (as usual when we get cabin fever) - I was feeling dreadful, I have the cold James and Kory had last week and so does Krystal. She was up ALL night on Sunday night - and I do actually mean all night. I dozed on and off with her on my tummy sitting up in bed.

I woke up on Monday dreading the day with no plans, but Maria and Leanne saved the day. We went to Maria's in the morning and Leanne's in the afternoon to play. You'd never know Maria is due a baby tomorrow, running about in the garden like she's just normal!

Today Kory had school in the morning, he was much happier to go in, we'd had a big chat about how I would give him a kiss and cuddle and then go and how he could play and sing and dance then I would come back. He had a small cry, but waved me off ok and they said he stopped almost right away this time. So we'll see what tomorrow brings!

He was delighted to see I'd kept to my part of the deal and gone back for him and told me all about what he'd done. The new health visitor came round to see me today. She's nice enough, and promises to try to live up to the other one, but somehow I doubt she will. Krystal didn't get weighed so we have to go to clinic tomorrow with her for that.

Later Leanne, Jessica and Sophie came round for an hour to play. Krystal slept in her seat in the garden, so once they'd gone Kory and I had another hour to just play. We did things we've not done before, that most probably take for granted. We were kicking a ball about and I was pretending to chase him. Admittedly it hurt a bit, but since he's been old enough to do things like chases, I've been pregnant and throwing up or waddling like a beached whale. He was so delighted Mummy was playing outside!!

Bath and bedtime is coming together now, the first few weeks have been chaos with screaming and mess upstairs. But I think we're almost into some sort of routine for the time being until they share a bath. We've had both of them in bed before 7:30pm most nights. Krystal is still very spotty, but the health visitor assure me it's hormonal and will clear soon.

Here are a few videos since krystal arrived that I keep forgetting to put on.

Drum Castle

2007-05-19T18:44:00.000Z

I went to a Castle and had a picnic and it was great fun! Up above is me standing in front of the Castle called Drum Castle. I was a good boy and had a wee sleep in the car on the way there and when I woke up I could see the big castle!!

We went to the playpark and I had a shot on the chute and the wobbly bridge and was running around with the birdies. Then we got out the rug we took with us and had a picnic. It was very windy though and we almost blew away!! We had sandwiches, crisps, blueberries, pancakes, apples and hard boiled eggs. It was good fun eating outside!

Here are some photos...

4 Weeks On

2007-05-16T20:38:00.000Z

This is my final photo with a lack of bump, I forgot to get it taken last week. I am now lighter than before I was pregnant with Krystal, although bigger round the tummy, so I must have lost it elsewhere, maybe my bum, right??!! WRONG!! It's as big as ever! I'm probably carrying a pint of milk as well, so I've no idea where it's been lost from. But who cares, I wore "normal" jeans for the first time todya, yippee!!

These 4 weeks have flown past. With Kory, every day was like a week, every week like a month. But this time it's the weekend again before I know it. Krystal is doing ok, gaining weight well and sleep isn't too hard to come by either with her.

Kory had school this morning cried again. After lunch I decided his hair was getting too long, and it would be at least another 2 weeks before I could get him to a barber, so I took the clippers to it. What an improvement! I might be no Nicky Clarke, but it's miles better than it was.

James was off work again not well today, but at about 4:30pm he needed a bit of fresh air, so we put Krystal in the sling and headed for the park round the corner. She slept, and Kory had great fun as usual.

This evening Krystal decided she just didn't want to go to sleep, so for the first time in 4 weeks (ok so I shouldn't complain, we've been lucky getting this far!) we have been taking turns to pace the living room with her in between feeds. On that note I better go...

P.S. I'm not a buggy addict, incase you see them all in garage, I have the nice expensive single, the cheapy travel single and then the double, just because they all dumped in there it looks a lot!

Garden Painting

2007-05-15T20:03:00.000Z

I've been a busy boy this week so far. Yesterday morning I went round to play with Jessica and Sophie in the morning, it was a nice day so we were in their garden. It was great fun and we even had our snacks there at the little table. This is me and Jess with honey bear biscuits, yummy!

In the afternoon, I got to put my waterproof suit and my wellies on as it was pouring with rain. We then walked to see Maria and Daniel at their house. Maria is going to have a baby very soon, just like baby Krystal. Jesica and Sophie were there too and we all got to play with Daniel's Piggy Pig (Guinea Pig) called Yogi. She came and sat on my knee for a wee while and made a funny squeeky noise.

Today I went to school in the monring, but I was being really grumpy and didn't want Mummy to leave me there. She told me she had to take baby Krystal to the doctors and would be back soon. She kept her promise and came back for me! Baby Krystal got weighed and is a real fatty, she's put on 10oz this week, no wonder, she's always eating!

This afternoon Daddy wasn't feeling well and was sleeping so he took noisy baby Krystal and me and Mummy had some good fun in the garden doing painting. We had a big long bit of paper and lots of colours of paints. Once I was finished, it went on the washing line to dry. Once it was dry we put it on my bedroom wall, it looks really good there.

When we had tidied up, we got out my huge jigsaw of numbers and did that on the floor. It's the first time Mummy has been able to do things with me on the floor for ages and ages, so it was very nice. Once Krystal got up from her sleep, I looked after her for a while on her playmat and gave her lots of kisses. She was smiling at me and I was showing her my Thomas DVD.

Busy & Cold

2007-05-13T10:18:00.000Z

My brain is a bit scrambled just now with sleep deprivation and most probably drug intake!! But I'll do my best to see if I can remember what we've done recently. I can't even use photos to tell me really as they are all in the house! On Wednesday morning I got the 3 of us out the door by 9am, which I was very impressed with! Kory had his group again at 9:30 and I walked there. I was in agony after that mind you.

In the afternoon my friend Reja came over with her little girl Erin, to meet Krystal and for the kids to play. She brought a lovely pressie too. It was a really warm afternoon so we sat outside watching them playing and I got the sun on my nose, oops.

On Thursday Kory woke up with a horrible cold and cough which he still has. He was feeling very sorry for himself and just lay on the couch with his dummy and teddy pillow which is so unlike him. By lunchtime he was bored, so we were picked up by Maria to go to the usual Thursday group. Krystal was as good as gold sleeping and feeding then sleeping again while there. I even managed to make sweet and sour for Kory and I when we got home before she woke up!

We had a really rough night on Thursday night, so on Friday morning I felt like the world was ending (as you do with 2 kids and no sleep!) so Leanne and the girls came round and a little later so did Maria and Daniel. It all seems so much better when you are not alone and Kory is entertained with his friends too. By the time they left I felt semi human again.

This weekend James has been doing some overtime working at home, so we've been left to our own devices. Yesterday morning we were all fed up so I put Krystal in buggy and wrapped Kory up (it was SO cold, isn't it meant to be May?!) and we went a walk. Knackered Kory out for his nap and we saw lots of diggers as we went up past where they are still building houses. In the afternoon, we made Kory's day by going food shopping to Asda, but it was too much for me and I ended up very sore last night.

This morning James is working again (double time woohoo!!) so while Krystal slept, Kory and I made rice crispie cakes with raisins in them. In typical child style he licked the spoon and got covered in chocolate!

So what's new on the children front? Kory's speech is coming along so well, he is a little parrot and is starting to really speak in sentences by starting to use words like "the" "it" and "a" etc. Krystal is awake more than she was and is definitely smiling properly when I talk to her. Although I'm sure it's a bit early yet, there is a distinct difference between this and windy mouth movements, so I'm pretty sure it's a smile. Some nights she sleeps well, others she doesn't so well and comes into bed with me so we don't all end up awake!!

She's still a little grumpy baby, who doesn't like being messed with at all. I wish I could remember when Kory stopped being like that, but I seem to have a complete memory block. Why does nature make women forget the bad bits? I assure you all, this time I will NEVER forget how horrible being pregnant is.
