Parenting in Progress

I am the proud mother of a beautiful baby boy and the purpose of this blog is to record my experience of motherhood.

Sunday, January 06, 2008

The month of December was fun while it lasted but I'm glad it's all over - the trauma of birthday then birthday then wedding anniversary then Christmas then New Year was all getting a bit much for me and for the little boy also.
Husband's back to work tomorrow so everything will, at last, get back to normality.

I didn't take so many pics because we had borrowed a digital video camera over Christmas but here's some -



The presents being carefully guarded by Clyde...and these are just Sorley's!




The rocking horse




The sweets





The face he now pulls when I point a camera in his direction





Our lovely new furniture acquisition called a 'Monks bench' which solves our seating problem, doubles as a toy box and really takes up very little space in our living room



Who's a handsome boy then









We took Sorley out to the Christmas Eve midnight joint service with the local churches where he was an absolute angel, got him up at 9 on Christmas Day to open his presents and then went out to the Christmas day service in our own church where he was also an angel despite having not got to bed before 1.30 am the previous night. We spent Christmas at my mother's which was lovely.

What's new with Sorley? - he now says 'ta' and thinks that gives him a right to grab anything he wants, he shows a fit of temper when he doesn't get what he wants by jumping up and down and slapping my knee (I really have to try hard not to laugh it's so funny)! Ever since my dad told him off for pulling at the fireplace by saying 'ah ah ah' Sorley says it incessently, says it when he's doing something he knows he shouldn't which is quite handy when I'm not in the room so I know when he's up to mischief, he says it to me and his daddy when we don't do or give him something he wants.

His favorite food is still garlic bread and now it's also little pork sausages which he polishes off quite the thing.

I absolutlely LOVE the photo of Sorley on the horse with the cowboy hat. BUT, when I was little, I LOVED the idea of being a bonafide cowboy. No, NOT a cowGIRL! hehehe!!!

The little fellow is so handsome and that is too funny about the "face" when he sees the camera! What a clever boy he is!

Well he has my eyes, but when he screws up his face he looks like his dad!

aww, I didn't know he made that face for the camera, he probably doesn't know my mobile phone takes pics then. that's really cute! just got Sorley's hand-written invitation letter through the post with the ferry tickets! he's such a clever boy, lol! my mum and dad were so besotted with him in the pictures you gave me.x
