Joss 6 Months Old Today!!

Joss has ahold of his first chocolate biscuit here LOL. You should have seen him crack the sads when he had sucked it to a crumb!! And WHAT a MESS!

What a cutie!!!!!!!!!

I just cant believe he is now closer to being 1 years old than my newborn baby!! Its so sad. Joss is doing just about all he should be doing by this age, although the other 2 babes were doing a lot more at this age. I am happy for him to stay like this forever quite frankly!! Means he stays my 'baby' longer :) He was checked over by the health nurse and his stats are:
Weight: 7.6kg
Length: 66cm
Head Circ: 44.5cm
His height and weight are nicely in preportian @ 40th%ile and staying true to the Draper Clan his head is up 75th%ile LOL. I have to give Joss more tummy time get him to do more push ups and get him rolling. He is sitting well proped up and reaching out for toys and bringing them to his mouth. Joss has finally got the hang of his solids. Today he ate more than he ever has in 1 day! So, with a bit of luck, these more substantial servings of solids each day will encourage him to sleep better over night. He is still waking 4-6 hours after going to bed, then 2 hourly after that for a feed. Part of me says enjoy it and embrace it because it is all part of having a little baby and of course then there is the sleep deprived grump that says for GOD SAKE BOY, GO TO SLEEP!! LOL
Other than that he hasnt began talking yet, I thought he was going to say something the other day, but nothing came out. He is much happier watching the other two clowns entertain him and making him giggle. So cute watching them all play together. Joss loves the Jolly Jumper, it gives him a whole new look at everything standing up right. Of course the entire time we nag the kids to leave him alone, but, its hard when Joss thinks they are funny and the kids say, but he likes it mum!!
So I am happy to report he is a happy little boy!! Hard to believe whats in store for us in the coming 6 months! Words, crawling, standing, walking??!!! All of which NONE I am ready for...

opps! I forgot

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARCY!!!

Today Darcy is TWO YEARS OLD!! He had a little gathering of friends here Saturday to celebrate the joyous occasion. He ate and was merry!! In the early hours of Sunday morn, he woke and threw up all in his bed. I just thought he probably over did it with the party food etc, threw up a few times over the Sunday also. He missed out on his birthday buddies little party as he stayed home sleeping. Today, he has continued to be sick and very lethargic. He has slept most of his birthday away. He was well and truly spoilt with lots of lovely gifts. His favorite being his 2 new train sets. We have had one constantly running at all times LOL!! We are off to Nani and Poppi's later for dinner and cake. Although I think he might have to settle for toast and weak cordial. I can't believe he is 2 already. Although the last few weeks he has come along leaps and bounds with his talking, counting and even did poo's intentionally!! He was so proud saying 'look mummy, Poo's'. He is a parrot, and it is hard to tell Erin off seriously with him repeating everthing I say and everything his dad say's.
I will download his birthday photo's and share the link with you soon.

Happy Birthday Darcy, We love you so very much!! You cheeky little monkey.
Love your mummy, daddy, Ennnin & Doss

4 Day's till Darcy turn's TWO. :(
He is having a little party on Saturday for his little mates, then Monday we will take him on puffing billy whilst Erin at kinder. I know he will love that. Then off to mum's for his birthday dinner and cake. He is very excited. He is still saying its Melanies birthday (my sister) as she was 23 on the 1st May. He has had a bit of practise blowing out candles too. I am excited for him, but sad he is 2 almost!!
