More Pics of the little man

Ace Update- its been a little while.

Well, life moves on... babies grow so fast ... here is a little dose of Ace Monroe ... 6.5 months old - 10kg, and 71cm long. 

He is going to be musical.... I just know it!

Ace is 6 months old!

Our beautiful little man, is now 6 months old! We are so proud of what a happy engaging fellow he is. He is very active and strong. 

Ace's favourite thing at the moment, is to blow raspberries - at the most in-opportune times!

He has also taken to saying uuh-uhh-uhh to me when I am doing something he doesn't like. (he learned that from us as its what we say when he grabs our glasses.)

He is eating solids - twice a day and is growing, growing, growing!

Ace thinks his daddy is the funniest thing in the world and giggles non stop when he is around (probably because of the funny faces he makes, his tickly whiskers, his insistance on daily raspberries, and that Shawn has been known to put the baby's shorts on his head while changing nappies!)

Dancing to bluegrass - Baby Ace busts a move!

Here is Ace Monroe - shaking his booty to bluegrass music while we were tuned into Lee Elliot's Show on www.worldwidebluegrass.com this morning!

What Ace has been up to lately.....

This week Ace has been doing a lot of hanging around....  

with our dog Mac....

with his "girlfriend" 
Strawberry Shortcake..... 

 with Daddy.... 

 and he has found a new place to stash his dummy....

 Ace has also been enjoying the hot weather ... 

growing, growing, growing ..... so fast!

wow.... growing is the best word to describe what is happening at our house at the moment.... Ace is growing, and so is the mess and laundry! Its amazing how much mess a solids munching, rolling over and scooting backwards 5 month old baby boy can make. 

Ace has a good appetite but is not satisfied until mummy and the floor are wearing as much of his dinner as he has eaten!

Ace is now sitting up quite confidently too.

He is also cutting his top two teeth, while having a growth spurt! this means I am not getting a whole lot of sleep- however when he is done, I am SURE (please God) he will start sleeping through the night.

The other new trick Ace has learned is "giving me the eyebrow" I only have myself to blame for this cheeky trick, as he learned it off me. 

The last 3 days in pictures

This is what is happening at our house this morning.......

note: just after I took this photo, Ace wormed himself completely off the bouncer.... bye bye bouncer.. 

My Birthday.....

I had a wonderful birthday. For quite a few different reasons. It was my first birthday as a mummy, I am now officially closer to 40 than 30 and I really enjoyed having Shawn home to spend the day with me (he got a surprise day off work) 

I was blessed with lots of kind gifts and well wishes. 

If you didn't know it was my birthday, or just plain forgot, here's a reminder for next year....

Heather's Birthday : 17 January 1977.... mark it in your diary :P

When do you celebrate your birthday this year? Let me know so I can add you to my brand new birthday calender Shawn made me for a birthday gift this year :) 

Shawn's Birthday, Christmas, and New Year

Hi everyone!

yes its been some time since I posted but its been a busy time of year.

Shawn celebrated his birthday on the 23rd of Dec at his moms house in Morrinsville - which he enjoyed greatly. 

Here is a video of Shawn and Ace that morning:

The weather has been hot and humid - so Shawn decided to put Ace's paddling pool to good use:

pin up pose!

Here is a photo of Ace under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning.... he is the best present I ever got!

and like any baby at Christmas time..... Ace's favourite part was the wrapping paper:

and since I hardly ever have a photo of me on this blog here's one for all of you that miss seeing my face around.

January 2013
