More Christmas photos

Christmas 2011

Here are some photos of Brendon opening his Christmas presents. He loved everything he got. There were lots of ooohhhhs, wows and "I love it" coming from him as he opened them. I had to take down all the Christmas decorations today as he thinks that each night Father Christmas will come and leave some more presents and that we will have crackers to pop at each meal.

Brendon's sandpit and my new pjs.

Here are some photos of Brenon's Christmas present from us...his new sandpit. I have written more about it on my other blog (Pauline's Tips). I also just finished making these pyjamas yesterday. My sewing is improving.

Christmas is coming...

There hasn't been much to update lately, although Brendon has now got all his teeth. His last two teeth came through within a week of each other. I measured him this morning and he is now 93cm tall...he has only grown 1cm in the last 4 months, but seems so much taller than that! He is going to be taller than his Dad by the time he stops growing.
Brendon decorated the Christmas tree and really enjoyed it. We are going to build him a sandpit as his Christmas present this year, as it seems to be something he really wants. Each day he asks if he can go out and dig in the sandy patch where we used to have some plants growing between the patio and where the old shed used to be.
The next few months should be good fun. We have family visiting in both February and March, and somewhere in between that Mathew will take some annual leave so we can go on a camping holiday which I am really looking forward to.
We are having our Mini Club Xmas lunch in the park tomorrow with a visit from Santa. It will be interesting to see what Brendon thinks of that. Next weekend we are thinking of going into the city and perhaps having Brendon's photo taken with Santa at Harvey Norman's again like we have for the past two Christmas's.
Brendon knows his left from his right and gets it correct most of the time.

Brendon has a new tooth

Only one more to go after this one! His right upper second molar has just come through.

My new dress

Here is a (not so flattering) photo of the dress I finished making yesterday. It was from a pattern and material that Mum and Ron sent me for my birthday years ago. I finally gave it a go and it has worked out well. There are a few mistakes in it, but hopefully no-one will look that closely. I will be wearing it to Neil and Char's wedding.

Just can't stay awake

Last night I made pizza for dinner. Brendon is still adjusting to not having daytime sleeps...some days he has one, not others. Yesterday he didn't have one, and with a mouthful of pizza it finally hit him.
