The Week That Was ......

It just went so very quickly. I really don't know where the time goes. I guess Rieley takes a lot of my time and then Kellie also takes a fair bit too. Rieley is certainly more demanding at this age, as he can tell me what he wants. Is that a good thing????? LOL

Ron had a bad week pain wise and a few doctor's visits. Ron drove me around while I took some photos for the Scav Hunt. Rieley wants to be played with constantly and there is always something he wants. :) Kellie's reflux isn't good at present as she has been throwing up a LOT and I wonder if that is because she might be getting another tooth (she has two)???? Her nappies smell of amonia and she's been very tired and wanting to be held. We tried some gripe water again tonight and that seemed to pick her up a bit. We actually had some real giggles and a bit of a laugh as I pretended to sneeze countless times - ahhhhhh, anything to amuse my little girl.

If I play with Kellie, Rieley gets right on me and tries to distract my attention from Kellie to him. He's very jealous and I'm not sure how to go about making sure that Kellie gets the attention she needs. It's not fair on her if I continue to let Rieley distract me, simply because he's so much easier to play with and if I don't then I'm going to have a massive tanty on my hands. My baby girl deserves more than she is getting right now.

I need to get Kellie weighed to officially find out she is a little podge - my goodness she has such a pot gut and is almost going to be out of her size '00' clothes soon.

She has a gorgeous little laugh that is like a gurgle and when she smiles her whole face lights up. Unfortunately, right now, she has a face like mine that needs a smile plastered on or people think you are worried about something or unhappy. I'm hoping it is just lack of teeth in Kellie's face. :) Her hair is growing too - she started out with really dark hair and quite a bit of it but lost most of it and just a whole heap on the top of her head remained. Well, it's filling out and is as soft as silk and while it is still quite dark, it is much lighter than when she was born. I reckon she might have a similar colour to Mum's - a lightish brown. She has beautiful dark eye lashes too and just like her sister, Cathie, one of her eye brows raise independently of the other.

Rieley's hair is a dark blonde as it grows - lighter than Kellie's. When I clip his hair, it's a lot lighter. I worry a bit that he may have buck teeth but they don't seem to be too bad at this stage. When he smiles, his front teeth are more prominent than the others but they don't really look protruding when you look at the whole mouth. Must take him to a dentist. He loves brushing his teeth. He absolutely hates having his hair washed and screams the whole house down. I'm surprised the neighbours have not called DOCS by now, as his screams are blood curdling. I do NOT know how to make this better and everything I have tried ends up in screams and tears. It's been going on for at least a year and it is soooo frustrating.

We had a house inspection 10 days ago and then Friday we also had the owners come to Townsville for a look at their investment, so it's been a busy few days making sure that everything looks lovely. I mowed the front lawn in record time in the morning - I was stuffed.

Well that was the week that was plus a bit about the kids to catch up.
