Happy Halloween!!

Okay, so I'll admit it - I'm nasty.

I saw hoards of vampires, monsters and witches coming towards my door... ran inside, turned off the lights and unplugged the door bell...

I was very unprepared for Halloween. I did not buy sweeties for the kiddies. I don't answer my door at the best of times, especially not to a six year old dressed as dracula high on E numbers.

I was rarely taken trick or treating. Mostly because I was not prepared to knock on doors and request sweeties. My brother was though, and I'd hide behind him and accept what was given to me. Even the odd old ladies that gave out things like cereal, pennies and toothpaste.

I did however dress up Baby Bear. He has been trussed up in a pumpkin outfit today, and was rather unimpressed. He kept trying to pull off the green leaves and poking at the eyes on his tummy!
Eager for Christmas so I can dress him in his Reindeer outfit!

I know, I've been slacking!!

I'm officially no longer a stay at home mummy!!

I went back to work, three days a week, ten hours a day. I've had a cluster feeding newborn, I thought I knew how long ten hours could feel...
Until I did a ten hour shift in a hospital on my feet after my baby woke up six times in the night, then having to get him ready and myself before his nana came to pick him up at 9 am, before going into work. Wow. A new level of tired, I'll tell ya! And fitting in making lunches for me and Daddy Bear, housework, food shopping, washing, making a week's worth of purees means 'tired' is my new favourite word.

But enough about me, I'm sure you want to hear about Baby Bear!!
He's amazing. He makes me laugh every day.
He's 6.5 months old.
Has two bottom teeth.
Crawls.
Pulls up to stand.
DOES NOT sleep through the night (and the next person who asks may get a punch on the nose)
Gives cuddles.
And generally lights up my day!

He has the biggest brown eyes, and I do worry about when he older, I really worry I'll never be able to say no to him...

Loving being a mummy
