I am really amazed that it has been six months since I posted my last blog.I did think a few times that I really should write one or Brody would do something new and I thought, oh I need to blog about that or at least have a look and see what other mums are saying about teething, crawling, weaning, dealing with a poorly baby, bedtime routines etc..
One of my friends even asked me why I hadn't written one in ages (she might be the only person that ever read them thou) and I am not really sure why. I think it must be due to the fact that I seem to have even less time to myself now, with Brody being 11 months he is on the go all day and I am so tired at night. He is also an early riser and for the past few months has been getting up at 5.30- 6.00am. He might sleep a bit later when the mornings get darker and I will need to try and rest with him during the day when I am back working evening shifts. Otherwise I will be a few hours into my shift and looking for my bed.
I have been off my work for just over a year and the time has flown by so quickly, people said to me that it would and I just thought oh yeah. But crickey they were right and as I sit in my last week off I am feeling excited, happy, anxious and sad all at the same time. If only I could stop, pause and rewind some of the time then again I would also like to fast forward the sleepless nights, but Brody might be three years old and I would have missed some special times. So I suppose life is a journey and we are both reaching a new chapter with me returning to work and Brody starting nursery.
I have posted a photo of Brody and his Daddy and Brody has his superman t-shirt on and it looks like he wants to fly. It made me think that he really has to learn to walk before he can fly lol. He looks a bit serious in the photo with the brow down and petted lip. This is his serious face or not amused face and he takes this from his Daddy of course ha ha.People are always asking is he walking yet? This isn't a bad thing but we are always rushing to each new milestone and now I want to slow down a bit.
He is nearly there and might walk before he is a year, he has started standing on his own and walks along all the furniture. Sometimes it even looks like he is running along the couch as he gets excited when he sees something he wants that might be a bit out of reach. He seems to be growing so quickly now and each day is a new adventure. You can see this in his wee face and the way he reacts to new things and experience's.
During his nursery induction I had to complete a form about Brody and his likes and dislikes, there was a bit that asked what makes him happy, sad or frightened and I could think of loads of things that make him happy but nothing for sad or frightened. I suppose the only thing would be loud sudden noises and he doesn't like the noise from the hairdryer. But I left those bits blank and now I realise that as he is becoming more aware, he is also developing emotionally and his wee sad face, outstretched arms, tears and snotty nose as I leave him for his induction at nursery really tug at the heart strings. As I write this I am in the parents room and after half an hour they haven't come to get me, so he must be ok. Each time he spends will get easier and we will both need to take each new step in this next chapter together. A few weeks back at work and we will both be used to the changes, new routines and be flying along :)
