Birthdays...

Been a big week for birthdays in our family.  FIL on 7th, my brother turned 30 on 9th.  Jacob turned one yesterday. Yes, I am feeling a little sad, because he is not going to be a baby much longer.  He is at such a cute age.  And then today is my cousin Jake's 21st birthday. 

Here's my brother Matthew with the kids on his birthday.

Jacob had his first haircut on his first birthday - that was a fluke, only appt I could get.  But now he looks even more grown up without his baby fluff curls.

He looks impressed with the whole thing!

Some photos from yesterday - blowing out the candles, and just hanging around.  Where did this last year go?

So, at one, Jacob has been walking for quite some time, he took his first steps nearly 2 months ago.  He is saying a lot of words - Mum, Dad, Pa, Gan (for gran), gone, ball, bounce, phone, bath, more, apple, and many more that I can't even think of.  I say to him, "where's Mummy's little lion" and he does a cute little roar!  He can woof too and does an ee ee sound like a monkey.  He is a gorgeous little boy - well except that he is still a very bad sleeper.  The last couple of nights, he woke nearly every hour between about 2 and 6am.  No wonder I have wrinkles and bags, no, suitcases under my eyes.

Matt is nearly finished the website for the CF fundraiser - it has been a much bigger job than I anticipated because he has written the whole site from scratch, where I assumed he would use software he had previoulsy written.  But he didn't want it to be in php (old format) wanted it to be in dot net, so had to start from scratch.  We still have to load the classes on and test it and test the payment system... so hopefully another week.  I have a couple of other sponsors of prizes I have to upload too. Don't forget you can register to receive updates www.scrappingforcf.com.au

I (stupidly) decided to give Masters a go again this year.  I wasn't going to, as I didn't like the challenges, but then I came up with ideas, so I'm going to give it a shot.  Lots to do, not much time to do it.

I'll leave you with a couple of photos of the kids that Renee took a couple of months ago.  They were for presents for our mothers for Mothers Day.
