I know I've been terrible for not updating my blog for such a long time. Things have been so crazy recently both at work and at home so I haven't really had much time to write and update anything.
In just a few weeks, my little one's will be 9 months! Can you believe it? Today they had their measle shots; they were champs although I think it helped that my midwife gave them their first chocolate to bite into while she jabbed them! Poor boys, squealed for a bit, then stopped! As for Kayla, she was totally oblivious to what was happening and continued biting on her chocolate and probably didn't even realise that she was getting a shot! Maybe its because she's got chubby legs :)
The kids start their first day at nursery school next week. Its going to be a freebie week and I'll be able to send Mary, their nanny, with just so she can see what's happening and hopefully to see that they're ok and that there won't be any serious problems at the school. I've been speaking to quite a few people who sent their kids early to daycare and they've said nothing can go wrong, and that its quite beneficial for them in the long run. I'm feeling a bit excited about it but at the same time sad that they're going to be away from me for the whole day! Absolutely a normal feeling for a working Mom I hear!
At the same time, we're making our move into our new home next weekend and we're quite excited about it! I think its more the space the I'm looking forward as well as the reduced amount of travelling between home and work! Traffic's been crazy recently, that on some days it takes me over an hour to get home. Not too fun when you have three crying babies in the car and you're sitting in traffic! I think sometimes it gets so loud that the car next to us can hear them! Thank goodness for tinted windows! :)
The kids are growing at such a fast pace - they're sitting on their own with no support and seem quite comfortable that way. It helps me a lot that I don't have to pay full attention to them all the time, so it gives time to go into the kitchen to make supper while they play on their playmat with all their toys. A lot of people have said that they should start crawling soon, but quite honestly, I'm in no hurry for that to happen (can you imagine how busy it would be at home; nevermind that, what will happen once they start walking?!).
You can definitely see their different personalities now and definitely are aware of familiar people and strangers.
Anyway, its a long weekend coming up and Darren and I are looking forward to our trip away. My inlaws are flying in and will be babysitting for the whole weekend! So definitely excited about the break!
