James is 6 months old!!!!

Happy 6 months to you, 

Happy 6 months to you,

Happy 6 months dear James,

Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Being a mum of 3 is so incredibly tiring! If you had asked me at age 10 what I was going to be when I was older, I probably would have said a mum of 5. It was always a dream of mine to be a mother but gee 10 year old me, dream a little smaller!

James has 3rd child and typical boy syndrome. Lazy!! Haha. He began to roll over around 4 months old, said 'aa-da' at 4 months old, he cut his first tooth at 6 months old, began solid food at 6 months old, started saying 'ba ba ba' at 6 months old and that's really about it. 

Ok ok maybe I have 3rd child syndrome. Been there done that, fly off the roof and maybe ill be amazed lol. You have to have more then 2 children to understand where I'm coming from I think! He can sit for a few seconds before he looses his balance but he's showing no interest in crawling just yet. I'm not really fussed though as it means I don't have to chase after my little man. He stays put while I chase after his big sister!

We've given fun nicknames to all our kids. There's Caity-wiener, Mary-Jane pain in the brain or booger, there's May May and James is now bud, buddy or mate. 

My little mate, as I like to call him, is the funniest little man. He has the biggest personality. He hates fruit. The face he makes is just priceless. He loves veggies. He gets a little bit of separation anxiety sometime, he just loves his cuddles. He has the exact facial expressions as his daddy. And he knows when his daddy is due home as he cries until Tom gives him a cuddle. 

He has the biggest blue eyes, non existent eyebrows and thick blonde hair. He has a bottle every 3 hours, breakfast lunch and dinner (solids) and he sleeps through from about 7:30pm-7:30am :) James and Tom play a game together where they shake their heads as if to say no. It's actually quite hilarious to watch. And the cheeky bugger LOVES to blow raspberries haha! His tongue spends more time out of his mouth then it does in!

James can defiantly be dramatic. He has already established a 'fake cry' and he throws the funniest hissy fits, throwing his head back and crying as if to say 'oh what a hard hard life I have' lol. I can't believe so much personality can be in such a little human being. 

As for my postpartum update, I was fortunate enough to loose all the baby weight within a few days of giving birth but then I lost another 5 kilos on top of that which I couldn't afford to loose. Weighing in at 64kgs, 178cms tall. 

This is the part of the story where most people roll their eyes and say that I'm being silly but honestly I liked my weight before, too skinny does not suit me. So I've been on a strict diet of what ever the hell I can fit in my mouth but too much junk food makes me feel terrible. Toms home for breakfast lunch and dinner so I've been cooking up a storm every day and am happy to say I've finally gained a couple of kilos! Around 66kgs now. I'd like to be at 70kgs with muscle tone so as soon as I'm in the 'mum of 3' routine, I'm going to put aside time each day to do weights ect. 

Also my hair had majorly fallen out. Apparently that's all normal and it will grow back in time. I already have tonnes of 2 inch long hairs growing back so I should have a full head of luscious hair by next year, ready to marry the man of my dreams :) But for now I've opted for a short hair cut which says 'I CHOSE to be bald' not 'I'm GOING bald!'

So that it for me. Kudos to all you mummy's!
