Very comfortable with his sexuality in the pink car!

Photos taken with my phone hence them been crap!

I was in the shower this morning when i heard Tosh shouting me to get out, not like him so i got out. Billy had s**t and it was everywhere, it had escaped his nappy, on the floor in four different place, on his feet, down his legs, on a psp box and on Daddy! Never have we had s**t in that many place before!

We'd worked like idiots last night to clear the bedroom for the fitters today, at 930am i got a call to say they'd damaged the wardrobes putting them on the lorry to bring and that they'd be here at 1pm, I'd planned a afternoon out with Billy's buddies, so told them in no uncertain terms to be here by 1pm, at 1130am i got to call to say it'd be tomorrow when they got here and started! Poor poor poor! We are sleeping in out spare room on our guest beds that i thought were of reasonable quality but after a night on them, nope they aren't!

New dishwasher arrived today so that softens the annoyance of the bedroom!

We've been to Big Tops today and Billy loved it, i know its something I'm gonna have to get used to and one day it might be Billy but why are children so horrid sometimes??!! This is now the third time we've been to a soft play zone and some child has hit him, nipped him, pulled him or just shouted in his face! I am getting quite skilled at please be careful he's only a baby! What i have noticed more than anything is its the children who's Mum's sit drinking coffee gossiping, that are the one that are normally been horrid! I actually told the little boy who wouldn't leave him alone and kept nipping him and taking toys off him, to go away today and he went back to his Mum crying and she had no idea why, if she'd have been looking at her child rather than a magazine she'd have known! I know i sound really nasty, the child had been winding me up for about half a hour.

Finally you remember that post Mummy is such a plank! well I've found the parking ticket today, under the passenger seat of my car! Funny thing is I've cleaned it two weeks ago, does that not tell you something about my cleaning skills??!!

fork I'm good!

All set up for his holidays! (Be warned Mummy is whining too)

Some of his birthday presents, sun suits (factor 40 protection)

Look at the scowl, its a new face and unfortunately he has inherited that expression from his Mummy!

To him the most interesting part was the hanger! Pictures are crap not sure whats going on with camera.

ONE BAD TEMPERED MUMMY!

It been one of those days, the ones where everyone and everything annoys you! Think I've had too much time at home this week and not been able to do much, due to the weather. Today I've been in such a mood that when i was doing the ironing i lost my temper with it, yes i lost my temper with the ironing, you know because that's completely normal to loose your temper with the ironing! Anyway i decided that some of the clothes that were too difficult to iron, either didn't fit or i didn't like, so i binned them! Tosh actually stopped me half way through the ironing and arranged for it to go around to his Mum tomorrow to be done, before i threw away our entire wardrobe! I know where the mood came from, it was all because the house was untidy, i can be such a freak sometimes! Our new bedroom is been fitted a week on Monday and that is also winding me up, i need to clear out our bedroom and make space for us to sleep in the spare room. The new bed we have ordered wont be here for 4-6weeks so that's gonna be fun too....... I know i whine a lot! I am actually looking forward to going back to work tomorrow, that of course if we are able to open, the shop has been cleaned and sanitised but some of the fittings need replacing and Meadowhall's health and safety officers will decide in the morning if we have done enough for now!

On a happy note we've been to see baby Josh today, one of my friends new baby and he is beautiful! Makes me very brewdy, i want my holiday soon, then we can try and counger up a new addition to our house hold!

Splash and in they went!

We still have glorious sunshine, tomorrow forecast is for rain and it better bloody rain, since i cancelled the party!

At the supermarket i decided to buy us lunch in the cafe, well what a crap, useless Mummy i am! I'd not got a bib, wipes or beaker, I'd left his bag at home! People around me must of thought i was barmy or he wasn't really mine! I ordered a toasted sandwich for me and a toasted teacake for him, they took that long to arrive, that he was making so much noise i decided that we'd have our apple and jaffacakes first, got some dirty looks for that from people around! He drunk my water from the bottle and basically tipped it down him, i used a napkin for a bib and he just shredded then threw it on the floor! And finally serving me right he ate non of the food we'd waited for!

The final part of the day was when he was wandering around upstairs while i ran his bath, he wandered in the bathroom and I'd not noticed he'd got his shoes in his hands until the were both in the bath!

Happy Birthday Billy Boy!

A lawnmower, wheel barrow and spades etc, so he can help Daddy in the garden from Grandma H but he'll need to master pushing it and clothes for his hols. (dummy in mouth as he's been so grumpy, its his birthday after all and he can cry if he wants too....)

A Trampoline from Uncle R, he's unsure just yet and I'm doubting they'll not last long!

The biggest cake in the world for a little boy and even worse he refused to even try it! Thought is was funny that we all sung to him.

A family snap, i hate the photo of me! Not very often we get one of all of us so thought I'd better post it!

I made him also some buns, which he also refused! his friend Luke thoroughly enjoyed and getting blue icing on my cream rug, thought Luke's Mum was going to cry, in fact thought Tosh might! It all cleaned up OK! I'd post you a photo but need Luke's Mummy's permission first, he had a blue mustache!

His first passport photo!

He had a good day, loads of cards not many presents, i did request he didn't get loads of presents and that he needed holiday stuff, which he got plenty of - roll on September and were off to Portugal!

Little base jumper

Toddler day rucksack with rein, just looked so cute had to post the pictures!

The little chaps birthday tomorrow!

Just think this time last year contractions were starting! I'm not going to post about his birth but i will one day soon, it was horrific and we are lucky he is here!




I have no access to the shops at the mo, cant leave my village to get near supermarket that sells birthday cakes, so he's got a chocolate fudge cake. The shops i can get to everyone has panic bought everything on the shelves! I always planned to make the choc cake but not a his birthday cake just as a desert for his party, the party i have had to cancel!

His Professional Photos

What a difference 6months makes!

I was just thinking of the nightmare i had getting him to eat and now look at him. Granted he's holding a spoon which serves the only purpose of making him gag when he pushes it too far! (cant see spoon) Cant believe he'll be a year old on Wednesday!

The boy!

I was ready to come home by Thursday morning, I have rung at every opportunity and had pictures sent to me by his Daddy to my phone. Cant believe how much i have missed him, he seemed so big when i got home.

He's learnt how to open the shower cubical door while his Daddy was in the shower, learnt how empty a toilet roll, can now say the words cat and car, and can get up to standing position from been sat down without a settee, door frame or anything else to help him up.

Some of the pictures his Daddy sent me are the ones attached

I felt quite allien to the environment of ambitious people who loved the sound of their own voices and people who enjoyed enlarging their egos. And all i want to do is talk about my little boy and been a Mum, god how my life has changed. I am so glad it has though and that work is not the only thing in my life, like the people i have spent the 5days with!

Daddy is in Edinburgh now until Sunday evening so by the time he arrives home I'll have not seen him for nearly a week!!! Roll on Sunday, the only plus point is that its just me and my baby boy for two days!

Oh and its still raining in most of the country and there are floods everywhere, thankfully not around us anymore!

Fathers Day!

Just giggling, very tired and just finish packing for the horrid course I'll be on from tomorrow, spotted my title i have corrected it but it did first say 'farthers day' quite apt really!

Uneventful day really, i have had stinking hangover and done very little, we have been and chose a new bed and flat screen TV for our bedroom that will be fitted soon.

My Dad (Grandad D) has been around for dinner and Billy was a super star, very pleased as normally with my Dad he is terrible, he wont go near him and is very clingy but today was the opposite, he was charming and very entertaining.

It was Daddy's first Fathers Day and really we should have spoiled him but as Mummy felt so crap from drinking her body weight in vodka last night, Daddy had to look after her! On with Daddy..... Billy loves his Daddy so much you'd not believe it, he get so excited we he sees him, i cant even have him in his highchair when Daddy comes home as he nearly rocks the thing over kicking with excitement when he arrives in the house, in any room he will always without fail crawl up to Daddy, he leans from whoever is holding him to get to Daddy. Daddy is def number one! I win on the cuddling stakes tho - thank god!

Anyways my last post until at least Friday!

Asleep over with my friends

Took this picture just after i got home last night from work, he always sleeps with his bum in the air - cant be comfy!

Been to weight watchers this morning not good news gained a pound! GRRRHHH! The ladies at WW love Billy, its like a competition as to who can get to hold him while i get weighed, then they try and feed him crap like jelly babies and biscuits. He refused the jelly babies, anyone who knows me reading this, will be wondering if he is really my son, as crap and sweets are my favourite foods, so for me to have son who doesn't like sweets is absolutely bizarre! He took the biscuit quite happily and beamed at them all, showing his one tooth smile. He was dressed all smart and now his car seat and clothes are cover in mushed up biscuit, not impressed.

Some of the funny things he does

He tries to drink the bath water from a old yogurt pot he plays with in the bath, try and stop him god, help you!

He stuffs his whole dummy in his mouth, when i say whole the plastic and everything!

He shouts down toilet/kitchen roll card, Daddy showed him how. Daddy puts it on the out side of his lips and shouts down it, Billy manages to put his mouth around it.

He empties the pegs on to the floor, one by one, in fact he empties most things on to the floor.

He has radar on his dummy and know where you've put it, even if it was a hour ago!

He now walks every where and looks for you to say well done, like a little puppy.

Oh and he now climbs on you, mainly to get to hair or glasses, feet in face, tummy, back......

And had this really loud fake sounding laugh, cant be real as he giggles when your playing with him!

He is such a funny little boy

A busy day in the garden

A number 4 all over please Mummy!

Well my Mum (Grandma Susie) normally cuts his hair but it's been getting desperate and she's in Switzerland at the mo, so i decided to get the clippers out. He didn't let out a squeal, although Daddy's mobile phone was so interesting nothing would have bothered him.

This photo is on the 25th May (too much hair and its curly)

After! I know it seems cruel but he looks a proper little boy now and the fluff has gone!

I cant believe i nearly forgot this HE'S WALKED TODAY! Well i say walked he's taken 5 steps!

The toilet! Its not good, your gonna think we are scruffs!

Billy has a obsession with the toilet. We have 3 in our house, downstairs, on suite and a family bathroom. I have to shut the doors to every one of these rooms or you find him stood up looking in the toilet, that if the the lid isn't down and knowing my husband the lid wont be down. Well earlier the week, in true bloke style Tosh went for a wee with the door open, sure he wasn't thinking about what he was doing, suddenly two little hands popped up at the side of him then a little head peered over, I said didn't you stop and move him??? He said I could stop weeing! So what happened today?? The same but could have been worse, he popped up at the side while he was weeing but with the remote in his hand for our TV from our bedroom and was dangling it in the toilet but not in the water! (DON'T WORRY HE'S HAD HIS HANDS WASHED EACH TIME HE TOUCHED THE TOILET AND I TURNED IN TO MORE OF CLEAN FREAK THAN USUAL)

How much can one boy get in his mouth???

He has pizza, cheese sandwich and potato wedges in there, i think he's gonna turn in to a hamster! Very strange combo!

Well his party is now booked, the ball pit/bouncy castle is booked. Roll on the 30th June!

He's been playing on the decking today and his knees, feet and hands were so dirty, his baby wash didn't get him clean, ended up using Mummy's shower gel! Good job he'd not been on the grass too - LOL. Oh forgetting we aren't allowed on the grass as Daddy has had the lawn doctor come and treat it! SADOOOOOO!

In nearly a month, YES a month and Billy will be ONE whole year old!

Planning his birthday party is turning into a nightmare!

To start we were just going to have small BBQ, well that idea doesn't seem possible.

Few reasons, if you invite one of our friends, you have to invite them all and they all have been breeding! Breeding?? Well yes, nearly all of your friends have gone from a couple to a family and if not, they are ready to pop a family. We have 2 couples due to have a baby soon and have over 7couples who have babies that go up to the age of 3yrs! COMPLETE NIGHTMARE, this doesn't include, his Grand Parents, Aunties, Uncles and 4 cousins!

Problem is that we've been invited to all party's for the babies that have had them, i don't want my baby's birthday to go unnoticed so i think I am going to invite everyone. This may seem excessive but I'm thinking of hiring a ball pit, i know Billy wont really use it but if i keeps the the 11+kids quiet and from wrecking my garden/house it'd be worth every penny. My house is a quiet big detached and the garden is all usable space and fenced in all the way around, so i think it will be OK! Can you tell from my post that i am really panicking? who'd have thought a 1yr old party could be such a nightmare?? And its gonna cost a fortune!

I think I've lined my self up for this in the past, as when we bought our house we were about the only couple to have bought a house, so we used to have BBQ's and invite everyone and now its just expected!

Only bonus will be that later when kids have gone and we are pi**ed the adults can use the ball pit!

Am i mad?? I know i know i do think about things too hard but i like to plan every last detail!

What i've noticed

Before i start I'm not saying he's hyperactive.....

We regularly visit Luke his little friend who is 6 weeks younger and we see Kian who is 6weeks older and i have friends with children so i have seen quite a few kids grow up.

I have noticed that Billy is like he'd been wound up and let go, he never stops, he's into everything, he shouts when he wants something and will start to jump in frustration, he pants when he gets that excited about stuff, he wants everything that other children have got and will push them out of the way to get it, he takes no notice even when shouted at and moved away. And even shakes his head at you when you say NO, quite funny but the word NO now means nothing. From the kids party he went to at the weekend i saw a definite difference between him and the kids of a similar age to him, he was no timid little angel.

I think I'm gonna have my work cut out with him, I don't give him any sweets/biscuits or processed stuff and from the looks of his behaviour i don't want to either, thankfully he doesn't seem to like them. I think i need new tactics so i don't end up with a unruly little boy.

I was quite offended when one of the Mums commented about him, saying 'God does he ever stop, thank goodness my boy's not like that!' I had to stop my self from been a complete bitch and saying something nasty back.

I'd not noticed how active he was until recent, at least he's a happy boy and loves everyone who talks to him, i just thought all babies were always on the go, all the time like him!

This week....

Been a busy one!

Work is terrible as per usual, but off now for 10days and I cant wait!

Billy has a new word, goes something like nanananing and points to everything but mainly his dummy which at the moment seems the most important thing in the world

He has learnt how to open the bin in the kitchen (see video) and he opens it go to collect something and then drops it in, he's not picky anything will do shoes, tea towels, pegs, toys.....

He's mastered picking his beaker up on his own and can actually drink from it

Our apartment we have booked for our holiday was cancelled! Luck they've put us in another but imagine my upset upon opening the email! Apartment

He is also obsessed with trying to get up stairs and if turn my back he can be at the top in seconds

His bad Mummy let him burn his hand, I have our spare room as my dressing room where i do my hair, make up and get dressed, he loves the room and at any opportunity he will go in there, he even checks to see if door is shut properly, turns out it wasn't and the next thing i heard him scream and he was holding my hair dryer. I really didn't think anything about it until we found blisters on his hand in the grill shape of my hairdryer! Feeling very very guilty about it!

Not lost any weight this week at WW, really i should have gained with crap I've eaten so not upset

He attended his first kids party

This picture is of Luke, the little boy over the road. Just made me chuckle that they'd cleared the tables and he was still sat eating on his own. But it was a iced party ring, so i suppose that was more important!
