9 Month

Well it's been a while and Ben is a month older now and we are in Italy :)

He can crawl now , nothing and no one ( meaning the Cats ) are safe now . First he was only doing it when nobody was looking and today he got up on his hands and knees and just crawled . I am on proud Mama

He got so big and is a very clever boy , he claps and loooves his books , it seems like he is doing soemthing new everyday .

And there is something else that has happend ..... I'm pregnant again :) which is a huge surprise but a very happy one .

8 Month old

My little Stinky is now 8 month old , in 4 month he will be a year ! Time went by crazy fast , the weeks seem to fly by and now it's high time that we start packing for our move .

Thing is I really don't like packing , no mather how much we put in boxes there is alway a tons of stuff left . And now there is all of Ben's stuff we too , but most will be left out so he has toys and all the other day to day stuff he needs .

On Sylvester (New Years Night ) we put him to bed as usual but when the fireworks started he woke up and loooooved the Fireworks , took us a hour to get him back to bed .

I don't really have any New Years resolutions this time , I know I need to lose weight but even when I made that my resolution I never followed through .
So this year I want to be more tolerant and nicer person , no bitching or complaining ... or a lot less than before ;)

If things bother me do something about them instead of getting p***** off , be nicer to people .
So far so good , even when my Neighbours seem to want to try out how far they can push me before I forget my New Me .

Nearly 2011

So we had our "first" Christmas , since Mai there where a lot of Firsts .
The First Day , the first Night next to me , the first day and night home and so many more .
I have to say that after nearly 8 month , I sometimes feel like I got this Mamathing in the bag ... mmmh better not say that out loud or I will regreat that later .

Ben has 2 teeth now , can sit by himself , is not crawling yet and keepes saying Daddy ( even though I keep saying Mama ) and is the love of my life (as well as his Daddy )

I feel quite good , been taking my Pills for weeks now and so far so good .

The reason for my post Our first Christmas , which we spend at my Parents . The German Part of Christmas in the evening on the 24th was a little overwelming for my Baby Boy . The opened a few of his presents but was not really into them .

Which changed the next day , English Christmas on the morning of the 25th , the loved ripping the paper of his presents and was playing with all of his new toys all day long .
It is hard as hell not to spoil him and for his FIRST I think it's ok ... that is my story and I'm sticking to it ;)

The first Tooth !

For a while now Ben has been drooling like crazy and I mean really bad , went through 3 or more tops and Bibs during one day . This morning he grabed my finger to have a chew , I felt a sharp point on his bottom gums and there it was the top of his first tooth .

He was not fuzzy or screaming while he was teething , so hopefully it will continue this way . I have the best Baby in the world , he sleeps through the night , eats without a fuss and now the theeting , makes me wonder if it will change when he is older . Good Baby = terrible toddler ?

For the first time in ages I feel happy , no depressions to cloud my day , there is always the fear that they will come back . It's the time of the year when I normaly felt down but so far so good .

I read back some of my posts and I don't always reconise myself in them , like I was a diffrent person when I was pregnant . Must have been the Hormones that made me feel better but then again not all the time .

27 Weeks

The six month mark came and went and I was to busy or lazy , depending on the way u look at it , so now here we are nearly 7 month old .

Ben is trying to sit by himself now , mostly leaning on one arm to support himself and still trying to figure out how to get to the really interessting looking things that ar just out of reach . For now he is doing the airplane , arms streched out and legs kicking like crazy just not on the floor , so no crawling yet .

He loves his food , he now get's a a hole portion for lunch and his Baby cerial before Bedtime and he sleepes through the night now , a full 12 hours

23 Weeks

I can't remember life without Ben , I tried and I just can't . I some ways it feels like he's been here forever and then I think it was just yesterday that I got home from the Hospital .

Really getting in the Christmas spirit ( I know quite early ) , started my Christmas Cards and looking for presents .
Deciding on what colours do to the tree in this year (silver/white) and I can't wait to see the look on Ben's face , taking him outside and showing him snow .
This year christmas will be extra special for this Family :)

Time flys

Now my Baby Boy is 5 1/2 month old , he can roll over , push himself up on his arms and move on his back in a circle . He makes loads of diffrent noises and loves trying new foods . He sleeps through the night , from 6.30 pm to about 7 am ( maybe wakes up once and needs his dummy ) has gone up a size in nappys and is now in 6-9 month clothes .
And he is such a happy baby , laughs and smiles loads and I am head over heals in love with him :)

I still get this ' OMG I'm a Mama ' feeling like it hasn't really set in yet and sometimes I'm worried that I make mistakes but on the hole I think I'm doing good
