Okay - time really does fly...

It seems yesterday that Thomas was born - but now he's nine months old. He has FIVE teeth. He can smile, babble, wave, clap, walk while holding onto furniture and hi-5. This new little baby is fast becoming a little boy. He has so much personality and can be so stubborn. He is the absolute delight of our lives and we are so proud of him everyday. However, with me going back to work, time is passing way too quickly. I miss out on seeing him for at least 6 or 7 hours three days in a row. I hardly catch up with housework and the washing is never ever finished. I managed to wean him from breast to bottle, now it's bottle to solids - and there's no end to recipes. He's grown so fast that I'm clearing out his wardrobe constantly and he is now in 0s going quickly into 1s. I've had so many friends have babies since he was born that he has an endless selection of future girlfriends and best mates. And now we face decisions like - how do we say 'no' and mean it? What do we do when he bites? To smack or not to smack? This is all ahead. And people ask if we're having a second soon and wonder why I punch them in the face (well, if only...)!! So forgive me if I haven't been in contact recently, I really do love our family and friends, but life gets hectic!The LaBan family - all four of us.

Five!!! Three up the top, two down the bottom...
