Has it been 15 months?


Josiah turns 15 months today...and his mummy will turn the big "three oh" this Sunday!!
Definately don't feel 30...and don't think I look 30...but then again maybe my tiredness has made my brain go mush as well.
Anyhow, a busy, busy weekend coming and I started it by scheduling a root canal treatment today - DUH... meaning that I would be eating porridge for my birthday. Not nice. So it was a sweet surprise this morning when the dentist said I could still try on permanent filling and see if I could manage. Yippee...thanks Doctor!
First Easter weekend in UK was spent in Bath. We rented a cottage, rented a car and together with Emma's parents off we went. But not before S was given a parking ticket for staying 3 minutes in the Residential Parking lot!!! Cost: GBP120 with a 50% discount is paid within 14 days. Sigh, an expensive start to the holidays. This is Josiah's first trip using the car seat so I was quite ready to face some resistance but he was just grand - all quiet for the first 45 minutes and then had a bottle which energized him for a bit before sleeping till we reached Bath. Emma's mum on the other hand got car sick entertaining her! We had a nice lunch at a deli before heading to the cottage. The cottage was lovely as with the owner, Angela. Apparently, we were the second family there so everything was still nice and new. She even had a highchair, stairgate and cot which served us very well with two babies walking about. Aahh...walking?? Yes, just overnight, on March 17th, my little man decided that he can take a few steps after all. Although he still cannot get up to standing position from sitting, once propped up, off he goes and he is quite steady too!

Basically had a relaxing time in Bath with the day out walking and exploring and coming home for dinner and wind down time for the babies. Except that my little man decided he did not like the accomodations for whatever reason. He was up crying for 2-3 hours every night - nothing could calm him. We gave him medicine but it only kept him for 1-2 hours before he is at it again. I was so traumatised that I said I'd never bring him for a holiday again! I was so physically drained after that weekend and did not look forward to Italy in April!.










Here he is playing with snow.








Every mum I know brushes their babies teeth....gosh, he only has 4 teeth and I am way too lazy to add another routine into his already loooong list of routines. But still, we did get him his own toothbrush to play around with.


His latest cutie trick - ask him to give you a "happy face" and the result.... aaaawwww....too cute!
