Girl...you'll be a woman soon


Ok...it's opposites day so lets pretend that Neil sung a song called Boy....you'll be a man soon. And now let's switch that to Baby...you'll be a boy soon.

My little bloke was 11 months old yesterday which means he is just a stone throw away from being 1. How exciting to think that he has been in our lives for a year and how that year has seen him go from a tiny newborn to a kid who can climb into the bath on his own. But on the otherhand, he is growing too quickly!!! I remember when his little mouth was all gummy and cute and now his mouth is only for the foolish and the brave. You put your finger anywhere in the vicinity of his mouth and WHAM! Expect to be bitten.
I didn't think gender would be so defining at this age but let me tell you - this boy knows cars. He is obessed with cars, bikes and trains. His vocabulary includes the sound broooom- broooom.
I love you Herbie, no matter how young or old you are.

Yeah, the whole girl/boy thing starts super-early.

No broom-brooms from our girl-child, but she does know how to say shoe!

What a wonderful 11 months it has been. It is hard to believe that he was ever that small. I must say that along with his love for boy’s things you can tell he spends a great deal of his time with his mother and her friends. This is evident by his love for Tupperware, fabric and hair. I am looking forward to the next month and year watching him grow and develop. I could not imagine that our home was ever complete without our little H. Love you both. Your number one blog fan….your husband
p.s. I taught him how to play the Tupperware like a drum tonight so I hope he doesn’t make too much noise during the day. :)
