Cyril's Best Lines

"Cake! Apple juice!"
Can I just start by saying that this is one of the cutest ages and quite possibly my favourite stage since he was born. There are a few morning tantrums thrown in there to keep me on my toes but otherwise we are having one hell of a time over here in this glorious sunshine.

Cyril has finally started using multiple words and phrases and I just can't get enough my favourites are:


  1. "Hobo, give rest!" (When Hobson is barking I always say "Hobo, give it a rest man!")
  2. "I Nevah ..." (Only Josh, Benny and Matty will get this but the tone is spot on.)
  3. "Baby girl, shhh sleeping" (Today he put his head on my tummy and tried to listen to her, he seems to grasp the concept that there is a baby in there but I still think it'll be a bit of a shock when she arrives.)
  4. "Oh poor dada" other variations include mama, hobo, rabbie, doggie, you get the gist.
  5. "Mama, cuddle." (This will never get old. He knows I love it so now uses it to con me into lifting him closer to food that's on the counter.)
  6. "Pardon me." (Said with the best British accent. Today he burped really loud when we were at the maternity committee meeting, everyone looked at him and he said, "Pardon me." That might have been my proudest moment as a mother especially since I was surrounded by so many midwives and other parents. I must admit I was a little shocked when it came out of his mouth but acted as though he says it all the time ;)

There are so many more but nappy brain has kicked in and I needed to write down my favourites before they slip out of my brain for good.

Suns out buns out.

Two Months

I can hardly believe my sweet baby is already two months old, it's seems like a lifetime ago that I was sleep deprived, depressed, and in excruciating pain, not to freak anyone out that is about to have a baby! I've actually been meeting up with some new mums and one of the girls had a really easy labour and didn't struggle at all to breastfeed, in fact she was out and about with her baby girl 3 days after she was born. I wish I could say the same, fortunately Cyril and I have made tremendous progress since then and I have one well behaved and content baby, well most of the time. On Sunday a group of girls and I went to a friend's house for a Baby Calm Workshop and Cyril was very content the whole 4 hours, smiling and interacting for a good portion of the time, and sleeping in my arms the rest of the time. From the books I have been reading since Cyril was born I didn't feel the workshop really benefited me, especially since Cyril is already sleeping 7

Nearly Halfway There, Yikes!

Well life just seems to be getting ahead of us at the moment.  I swear I need another full day every week just to get caught up on the growing list of things I need/want to do before Baby Soper arrives. Technically I was 19 weeks last Friday but Josh and I have been far too busy, and with the nights closing in on us we had to move the chalkboard photography indoors, otherwise I would have taken my 19 weeks photo this weekend, outdoors, but then I would have already been 20 weeks! ABOUT ME How far along? 19 weeks and 6 days Total weight gain/loss? From 133 (pre-pregnancy) to 141 for a total of 8 pounds! Maternity clothes? Yes and no.  Maternity clothes are more comfortable but I still fit into some of my pre-pregnancy outfits. The skinny pink  corduroys  are a definite no no however, and so is my itty bitty bikini, which means I'll be wearing a maternity bikini in Tenerife and looking like a beached whale! Stretch Marks? Thankfully those haven't appea

Bad Ass Baby Soper

                                   VS             This Rad Hat                                These Bodysuits                          I think the decision is obvious                               While perusing several "baby friendly" websites to get an idea of what the little guy might need once he is born I came to the conclusion that cute  bad ass boys clothes are few and far between.  I would call Josh over to have a look at a few potentials, and his response was always "Eh, not really bad ass enough for our child, don't they have any surfy stuff."  I always commented about how many adorable and stylish options there were for girls but how the boys department never stacked up, I mean grown up men wear fashionable clothes and they're not all baby blue with donkeys and giraffes all over the place.  I know it's a baby, but come on people, no child of mine is going to be caught dead in this  I'm Cute Dinosaur Romper .  So I continued my search,
