Its the little things...

Do you ever have a moment when something happens and you just stop everything you do and you realise how lucky you are and how amazing your life is?

Lastnight at about 11pm, I climbed into bed and was starting to doze off when all of a sudden my baby boy broke out in laughter in his sleep. He does it often but lastnight he just kept laughing. I couldn't stop smiling at how cute he was. I sat up and just looked over his cot at him for few minutes. Looking at how beautiful he is and his amazing little smile that he smiled every few seconds. It was like he knew I was looking at him! I just sat there and thought to myself how lucky I was to have such an amazing, sweet, gorgeous little boy. Thinking how cute he is when I ask him "where's mammy" and he gives me big kisses and just smiles at me. It's moments like that or even when he is just sitting there playing or when he climbs up onto the couch to give me a hug and sit there with me, that makes me realise, that no matter what struggles I face in life, I have the most amazing, precious gift from God, to keep me going and keep me smiling and get me through each day. I cherish every single second of every day with my little guy and I am extremely lucky. 

Moving..

Ugh, moving...how I wish you didn't have to visit me! So, we are getting ready to move within the next two weeks. I never used to mind packing until now. The more I seem to pack, to more crap and clutter seems to appear. I don't understand how someone can accumulate so much stuff over a short period of time (in this house less than a year) Every day and every time I set up a box to be packed, I go into my own little world. Wishing I could be somewhere else and dealing with something else. With my family of course.

Oh, how I wish I could be flying into this island once more...

or waking up to this beautiful view again, every morning..

This ^ is were we spent our honeymoon...

And...slap in the face and back to reality. Weep!

So, everyday I pack little by little. Stuff we don't need for the moment and that we could do without. I wish I could pay someone to come in and pack for us. Oh wait, I could. They are called movers arn't they? Hmm, if only I could! Well nevermind getting someone in to pack. I need people to come in and throw everything out. Do you ever sit amongst all your crap and think, OK, I need to get rid of all this and start over? Start fresh? Yes, that's my thought every day. Except, I just cannot do it. I can't part myself with a lot of stuff. I am in no way a hoarder but I think I could be getting to that stage :) My hubby is always telling me to pull out the stuff that I havn't used in the past 6 months to year and just bin it. But I know, If I got rid, I would be looking for it and I will want it and I will probably cry like a little girl if I knew I had thrown it away and regarded it as junk. I also have a wardrobe full of clothes, that I know one day I will fit back into. Jeans and dresses that I just love (did I really fit into you) Everytime I pull them out to trash them, I stop and say Nope, I will wear you again one day...You just wait and see! I have got to prove that to my hubby too :)

Along with the packing, we have people coming and going viewing the house. I am kinda bummed and sad about it. Although we are only in the house a short while, I was really settled here. Our original plan was to stay here for a few years but our landlord has to sell up for personal reasons. I am sad because this is the house our baby boy first rolled over, first crawled, took his first steps, etc. I know it sounds silly, but I always imagined my kids taking their first step in the same spot as my first baby. I know I can build a ton of memories in our new home and I will always have the memories of this one. And, you know what? We are going to have to do this all over again in a few months when we buy our own home(we are waiting for the right one - I dispise renting) I think I will just leave everything packed up. There is only so much packing I can do without getting burned out :) But I will continue to do it anyway. Typical woman :)



My boy will eat anything....

OK, So ever since my adorable little guy could roll over onto his belly and

when he start crawling, he had this fascination of eating anything and everything that came into his sight. Even the smallest spec of dirt. If he spotted it,

it was his!! Myself and my hubby hoover the rug and our floors on a

daily basis but you cant help that dirt ends back up on them :(

But he eats, literally everything. Mind you, he is not a big eater of his

actual food. If I gave him a bowl of mud and a bowl of proper food,

he would happily choose the dirt.

The other day I put him down and as soon I did he flew into the bathroom. I

have the bathroom baby proofed so I knew he couldn't stick his head

into the toilet or get into any presses or fall into the bath, so I didn't follow him straight in.

As I had just fed him I was just going to put the dish into the sink and clean off

the high chair tray. It literally took me all of 30 seconds. He usually just goes in and plays with his bath toys that have been left on the floor or something, but as I walked in he had

a big chunk of toilet paper in his mouth. He was chewing on it like a little puppy. He has started to chew on his cot rails (you can see teeth marks) he tries to eat the grass if we have him outside and he would chew on stones, etc. It is starting to frighten me too. What if he chokes. My eyes are on him at all times but it only takes a split second for something

to happen.

Anyway, I am just wondering if anyone else experiences this with

their baby? I know babies do eat anything but I didn't think it happened

this much. I thought he would have out grown it by now and that it

was only something they did when they started to crawl or when teething. I guess not. I really hope he gives up on it when he starts to walk.
