4 months later ....



I'm back! So much to say, so much to show, so much to be excited about and sooooo much to be happy about!


Lots of our friends and family begged me to start up with my blog again, it wasn't that I stopped, I just took a step back to see where we are, getting settled in Joburg, getting use to our new life and watching our beautiful boy develop so cute. Life has seriously flown by, Troy is turning 1 in less than a month and life at the moment is all about planning his first party! YEAY!!! I think every mom looks forward to their baby's first birthday party, it's more for the mommy and daddy anyway! :)


In the last 4 months:


John ... working really had, been completely stressed out and using every single moment at home to spend time with our very active Troy! Work is going well and apart from bringing home coughs and sneezes from the office, he is well, healthy and active!


Me ... meeting up with friends, having coffees and lemon meringue and making sure Troy is always happy and healthy and LOVING life!


Troy ... In summary ... precious, soooo super loving, giving soentjies all the time, sleeping soooo much better, loving his toys and .... wait for it .... WALKING!!!! Troy started walking on the 8the of July 2010! We were at my dad's house in Hermanus, 2 days before my brother's wedding, we were all sitting around the dining room table when Troy stood up against the couch and took 4 steps towards his pram! Absolutely amazing and so special to share it with his Oupa, Oom Boetsie, Dada and Mamma! 7 teeth, with 1 more coming out, talking in his Troy-language all the time, everything is Dada, and Dah, except the Kitty that also gets a mention, but still no Mamma! :( I’m going to load some photos this weekend, you’ll see how beautifully big he has gotten!


But till then ... lots of love and sooooo many amazing memories!

Birthdays, Braai's & Parletones

TROY CAN CRAWL!

Our little frog is growing up so quickly ... on the 19th of April, Tanja's birthday, he started crawling! Since then he's just picking up speed and can now get wherever he wants to be in a matter of seconds! He absolutely loves being mobile now and with the help of his new walker, he can now also see things from a little higher up!

On the 20th of April it was Debbie's birthday. We went over there for dinner and some apple strudel birthday cake!

The frog and his grandpa!

Happy Birthday Debs!!! We hope you had the most amazing birthday!

Troy's been teething up a storm and is now sporting 2 new pearly whites at the bottom. Due to the teething he had such a blocked/runny nose, we had to nebulize him before bed.

Last weekend we went to Gary and Stacey's for a braai. What a lovely day and Troy and Jemima play so cute together!

Troy in Jemima's swing ... he absolutely LOVED it!

Every Easter its the Saints Rugby Festival and this year we can actually go, last night the Parletones played and John and I got Granny to babysit and off we went to dance and sing along in the rain! Hello Winter!

John LOVING the Parletones!

Didn't even get wet!

OK, maybe a little!

The Parletones ... see Simon ... you can see the make-up!

This morning Troy was so cute, he crawled to his gym bag on the floor, hooked his little arm in and started crawling with the bag ... just like mommy and her handbag! He was so chuffed with himself!

MAY EVERYONE HAVE A BLESSED, HAPPY AND FULL OF LOVE EASTER!
