And then there were five ...............

We've been very worried about how Aaron would react to us bringing a baby home from the hospital. I've been so worried in fact that I cried many nights wondering how we were going to cope.

Well, I have to admit that it's gone a lot better than we anticipated, honestly. On the day that we came home from the hospital, he ignored me completely, I was not even featuring on his radar. He only wanted Dad and Stefina. But on the Friday, Mathew had to go back to work and we made friends, he came and sat on the couch and stared at Tyla and touched her head softly.

So ......... it's two weeks already and he has really surprised us by ignoring Tyla most of the time and when she cries he does take notice.

Mommy is very proud of you my nunu!!!

Oh, we went to the paed today - Aaron has a temperature and was vomiting last night. Simon said that its viral and not much can be done about it except to keep his temp down. So I have given him empaped and I'm hoping that he feels better tomorrow.

See what happens

when you leave him alone for one second ...............

Happy 2nd Birthday Mommy's angel pie

Mommy's gift

Aaron did the cutest thing this morning and I just have to share, I am so in love with my baby. He runs into the house today, with this look of absolute excitement and pride brandishing in his little hand a perfect birds nest. The grass and twigs are all green, so I can only imagine that this nest did not meet with the owners approval and it was nipped off, or the wind blew it down. I took it from him and asked Stefina to throw it away and when he saw what she did he started screaming like she was sticking a knife in his neck. She took it back out of the bin and gave it to him and he once again ran to me and handed it to me, like he had bought me a gift. I took it and kissed him thank you and put it on the floor, he picked it up and put it next to my bed and smiled at me again. The whole evening, wherever I go and sit, he brings it to me as if to say "you forgot your nest" - and when Dh tried to take it away he had a fit and gave it back to me. Ag I know this story is long and might seem silly, but I am so proud that my baby gave his mom his first gift kwim?
