Yes,it's true.Our son takes great big bites out of our bars of soap..Yuk!.Dam,that was gonna' be a punishment tool for when he is older(just kidding!).How can he honestly like the taste of soap?..he thankfully has improved on eating real food though,even VEGES if we discuise them enough,he's quite fond of tuna and mash and anything with chicken at the mo.He is not so keen on red meat.It's so stress free now tho..yey.
By the way,Jasper has learnt the word "NO"...ah-oh,we better watch what we say around him from now on.

The last of the autumn leaves
With one very bored toddler driving us nuts,we decided to bundle the kids up in layers of warm clothes and head out into the big outdoors...we walked to the local park.Jasper was not the only one happy to get some fresh air,we all enjoyed the walk.Winter is well and truly on the way...Brrr!

Jaspers' first painting
Look at all my beautiful teeth! I have another coming thru on the bottom right,can you spot it?..
Today i did my very first painting,I think i liked it?..it was wet and slippery but i liked running my hands through it,i thought it might be nice to have a little taste but it didnt taste as good as it looked...I think mummy was more excited than i was about the whole thing!

Out and about
Well,I did it!-I got out of the house with both the kids.Ok,so Fiona came with us...but it was a start!!.We took Jas to playgroup,and he had a ball.I couldnt get over how all the kids had grown since our last time at playgroup,and it makes you realize how much your own kid has grown.Jasper is so cheeky,he kept trying to steal the other kids biscuits!
Hello to my little nephew Ethan,i had to laugh when his mummy wrote that ethan calls his cousin Ruby,"woobee",and now he calls all babies "woobee".We will be seeing alot more of my nephews and nieces soon,as dave and i are moving to Brisbane,Australia at the end of the year,or maybe sooner-depending on whether we have enough money.We are excited about our big move across the ditch.

Going mad!
Ok, I always knew having 2 babies only 12 months apart was going to be hard...but this is ridiculous!,I mean these two do everything in unison??,they wake up at the same time,(I'm trying to train them to go to sleep at the same time,but this hasn't worked...'lucky me')..now where was i?,oh yeah,they poo at the same time,want their bottles at the same time,want cuddles at the same time....this is when technology would be really useful and i could have my own MUMMY ROBOT,and it could take over when i'm at my most tired,or atleast go to New world for me when i'm really stretched!..
Anyway,I've promised myself that come monday i am going to try and reclaim the old Lee!This includes getting out of the old dressing gown,getting fit..losing weight(ugg!!),getting a life basically.Also,simply getting brave enough to venture out with two very small children-very scary,believe me.It does help alittle that Jasper is now walking and is just that tinsy bit more independent.I feel he has been deprived a little of his friends at playgroup since his sister arrived on the scene.Mind you his social life is looking up,with 2 birthday parties to attend this month!
The littlest doyle is doing well,growing very fast(now 9 pounds 9oz),and very content.I must say it is nice to have one child that will still be in the same spot that you left them and,that doesnt need to be wrestled to get dressed!.Yep,Ruby is great.She wakes about 3 to 4 times a night but ,it's only the 12 to 2 am feed that kills,all her other feeds are fairly brief...feed,burp and change..oh,the joys.
Funny thing tho,sleep deprivation-the other morning i went to good old New World with my skirt on backwards,and ALL the checkout girls had a right old chuckle...and then when i got home i recieved a phonecall from the police station(oh crap..),the lady on the other end tells me i have lost my wallet..i have?,apparently it fell off my CAR ROOF on the corner of waenga Drive and cairnmuir place!...Shame.

Toddler Jas
About jasper:He is a bit of a loon!,his latest trick is headbutting the floor and,up untill a couple weeks ago he would crawl in circles(normally when guests were visiting),he is a real show off.
Gran is very proud of herself as she has taught Jassie how to do a high 5!!
I am really pleased that Jasper has found a new interest in books,(and our books,but thats another story...),he will bring us a book and we will read together orelse he will sit by himself and babble away.He still talks nonstop.What else?,oh yeah,he loves being outside and playing in the dirt!,he can now walk outside too by himself...he is now walking all the time,so it is goodbye to my baby boy and hello toddler Jas...WATCH OUT WORLD!

Week 2...
Can't believe Ruby is 2-weeks old already.She is now 81b 110z...Wow!.Her eyes are a lighter blue now,and her hair is thinning,I can only hope she will have a little bit left?.Meanwhile Jasper spends his days cracking us up!,he is such a comedian.Lately he has taken to copying his sisters cry..and is abit more clingy than normal?,but apart from this,he is handling the transition well.He is such a happy boy.
Anyway,here are the latest photos of the kids...

The Baptism
A special day for our little family...Ruby Elizabeth was baptised at St. Johns Church in Cromwell. Me, Dave, Gran, Aunty Fi and Jasper all took our place at the front of the church, with, of course, the star of the day, Ruby.
She barely woke from her slumber as the minister took her in his arms and placed the water on her forehead. Ruby looked beautiful in her antique style silk gown and matching hat. After the service celebrated with a slice of cake. It had pink and while truffle iceing with her name written on top. Later in the afternoon we went out for bite to eat, Jasper celebrated with a big chocloate biscuit, which he bravely fought Aunty off for.
Hello to Jasper and Ruby's God-parents, Shanley and Jon, wish you could have been here.
