Time for a change

So you may of noticed some changes to the blog... im just playing around. what do you think?
Been a fairly busy weekend. Saturday I was working again so Ethan was with his Daddy playing cars and doing boy stuff for the day. Then saturday night we were baby sitting a friends 4 year old daughter. We Took the kids out to "A Christmas Wonderland" an indoor christmas tree trail.
It ws so amazing, so many trees all decorated differently, Both Ethan and Friends daughters eyes were shining, and Ethan squealed with delight when we saw a statue of santa. (no fear of him being afraid of him) Would of loved to show you all pictures but there was no cameras allowed in there which was a shame. However we will be going to see Santa when he arives at the mall so will put those up for you to see when i can.
Ethan has also learnt this week to sit on his own without support but you have to stay near cos every now and then he forgets and flops over and just yesterday he has started to commando crawl and man he is fast when he wants something... look out dog!!!!

Tonsilitis and Colds....

Ethan has had a cold for past few days, but on Sunday his temp started getting a bit high so of we went to the doctors who told us he has tonsititis on top of the cold. (no wonder hes been a grumpy boy) So now he has antibiotics and anti-imflammatries. Then yesterday John went to doctors and hes now also on antibiotics too for his throat. And guess what... who has a sore throat now.... Me. The joys of kids, aye?

wrapped or unwrapped... mind of his own

Well it seems our little boy is staring to get a real personality and knows what he wants (although sometimes we get it wrong. Take for instance Saturday Night, we decided to see how he would sleep if we didnt swaddle him (usually wrapped at night but sleeps fine during day without) weeeellll... that did not go down well with him.
He screamed blue murder from the moment I placed him down (usually pop him down and walk out and he goes to sleep within 5 mins) He was not happy, we tried just resettling him but he was not having a bar of it and just got himself so wound up that in the end we got him up, calmed him down, then wrapped him and he finally settled.
So come Sunday night and we decided we would just keep wrapping him as thats what worked (and since he was sleeping through did it really matter) so anyway put him into bed wrapped.
Well knock me down with a feather (haha, ive always wanted to say that) hes goes and decided he does NOT want to be wrapped. Again screamed the house down, and got himself so worked up and hot that i unwrapped him to cool him off and he rolled over onto his side and went to sleep. So all this week he has been side-sleeping unwrapped. My baby is making decisions for him self
