Baby Boy Is One Tomorrow!

Cant believe how quick the last year has gone. Gianluca is going to be one tomorrow, bless his little cotton socks! He is now walking and can nearly make it accross the room. He looks so pleased with himself!
He managed to trap his thumb in the dinning room folding chair the other day. I felt so bad. He howled for ages and it puffed up. But the next day you wouldnt think he had done anything, it was back to normal.
Sofia had her first school nativity play today. it was only for the little ones, preschool and reception class. When they came into the hall, she didnt stop walking and ended up on my lap. Think she decided she would rather watch!

Well, firstly sorry I haven't posted for a while but what with the house move and the kids being unsettled at night, its been a bit crazy!

We are now settled in our new house in the quite village of Mendlesham in Suffolk. It is so much better then living in the city of Norwich. Not that I don't like Norwich, I love the city its great for shopping. I just did not like the area we were living in and I did not want our little girl to start school there. Anyway, we have a lovely house with a lot more room and a lovely garden. Sofia has started pre school which she loves. Its just over the road too so its not far to go in the mornings and I can get back with Luca and have a couple of hours with him. There are a lot of really nice old houses here but only one shop! There are 2 pubs, one of which has a themed dinner each month which we might investigate one day.

Rob is enjoying not having so far to drive to and from work. Hope to get some picture hung up at the weekend to make things a bit more homely. Thats all for the moment, I will post some pictures later.

Moving house

Well, we have, at last found a house to rent nearer to Robs work. It will cut the travelling time he has to do each day and allow him to spend more time with his lovely family! It is a bit more expensive but the money we will save on petrol will balance things out. The house is a bit bigger and has a lovely garden for the little ones to run around in....or crawl! So things are a bit crazy here at the moment and it is getting to be a bit like cardboard city. I am packing everything I can and piling boxes up in every space I can find. Hope to put the garden straight this weekend. One less thing to worry about.

On another note. Norwich City Football team could go top of the league tomorrow if they win. On the ball city!

Also, here are a couple of pics of my lovely babies.

A stressfull time.

My poor little girl is ill. She has been off her food now for about a week, she does not eat an awful lot as it is but she has not eaten enough to keep a fly alive! She has also had an upset tummy and has been sick....all over our bed! Thankfully she is now sleeping and hopefully will have a good nights sleep and feel a bit better in the morning.

My little boy has twl teeth coming through and is chewing on everything he can! Going to dose him up in a bit and settle him in bed.

My partner is away again so im sad and lonely and craving adult conversation!

A mile stone

Our little boy started to crawl properly this week. Now there is no stopping him. He is into everything now, mostly his big sisters toys much to her disgust! Cant leave him alone for 5 minuets now and he is not to keen on sitting in his baby walker. I have to wedge it with a cushion if I want him to keep still in it.

His big sister is coming on in leaps and bounds now and says something new every day. She loves to read through her books and makes the sounds of the animal's ect. She trys to pick up her little brother and give him a cuddle and she loves to try and make him laugh. Her favorite thing at the moment is to try and jump, she has only managed to make her feet come off the ground once but she is getting there.

My darling partner is busy at work and working away at the moment so its hard work at the moment but at least I don't have to worry to much about cooking a meal in the evening and I can get some early nights in, depending on the kids! Still, I miss having a cuddle at night!

Going to visit an old work friend tomorrow, it will be nice to have some adult company, found myself laying on the living room floor today singing the wheels on the bus!

Anyway, will proberbly have a very exciting week catching up on the house work. If anything good happens I will post and tell you all about it.

Till then, take care.

A lovely day out

Had a lovely day out today at Thrigby Hall. Our little girl was delighted to see all the big cats there and the monkeys two. She was not two sure about the crocodiles though (neither was I) Loved the little ducklings and the very strange looking Babirusa or pig deer. A very ugly looking creture but also very gentle.
We had a very nice picnic and the kids were very well behaved. It only rained when we got there and stayed fine for the rest of the day. Sofia enjoyed spending time with dad running around the raised walk ways and spotting the animals. Stopped of in Norwich so Rob could spend his birthday money and then rounded the day off with a tasty Indian take a way and a couple of bottles of wine once the babies were setlled (at least for the next few hours anyway)
