As promised there are a couple of photo’s of Max at the party last weekend (3 to be exact) Here’s one of them

honk honk!

Long time no speak

It’s not that nothing’s happening because stuff is, it’s just that it’s not big – you know?  That and I’m having the crisis of blogging faith that people seem to have every now and again.

? Max is really growing up! He is so close to walking it’s not funny.  We went to a 3rd birthday party this weekend and our friends had bought a little trundler in the hope that their 18 month old daughter would use it to start standing.  Max grabbed it and was pushing it up and down the garden like crazy! Abbey then crawled into it and Max started pushing it with her in it The amazing thing is that then James, a five year old, hopped in and Max managed to push him across the grass for about 5 steps before giving in!  I have 139 pictures from the day and promise to post a couple in the next few days so keep an eye out.

He’s also started to make em type sounds and say mama a lot.  He’s been saying dada for a while but we’re not sure if he relates the sounds to us or is just practising

He’s also started dancing to music! lol! For those that know David Gray he looks just like him with the whole wiggly head thing going on! Hee hee – he looks so funny.

Vic took him to his first movie the other day too. The first Wednesday of every month a theatre in town runs a ‘Mums and Bubs’ session specifically for mothers and their babies. They do things like not dimming the lights all the way down do that you can see to change/feed etc.  Damn good idea I reckon!  They went to see Love Actually which she said wasn’t as good as the other Richard Curtis movies.

? Vic has her first night away from Max next week!  Dell is flying us up to Auckland for our Christmas party and Vic’s sister and mother have said they’ll babysit We’ll see how it goes…… The day after we get back I’m off to Sydney for a week for some SAN training – phew.

See you soon

All I can say is “Oh my God!!” The night was great, the movie was fantastic and bloody Max was awake at 05:30 the little shit!

My night started off with the walk up the red carpet! It was very strange having all these people looking at you and obviously trying to decide if you were important enough to scream at It was even weirder if you were near someone they did recognise!

When we got to the theatre we had took check all phones, cameras etc. into security and then pass through metal detectors before getting into the seating area.  They really weren’t taking any chances………  Then of course we had the movie and boy what a movie! Grand, epic, sweeping, stunning – you name it. Just a fantastic movie and well worth going to see.

Then it was off to the party and copious amounts of alcohol and minimal amounts of food Myself and 2000 of my closest friends mingled and schmoozed for couple of hours and the I toddled off home at about 12:30am and managed to get into bed without waking Vic!

All in all a night to remember.

BTW did I mention that I’m off to the world premier of LOTR – The return of the King tonight? I didn’t? hmmm I get to go to the star studded dinner aferwards too

I love you Gayle!
