What a week

Max has been sick all bloody week, and I am exhausted. He's not sleeping properly, and I am exhausted. He's cranky, and I am exhausted. Did I mention that I'm exhausted??

Poor Sam is suffering too, because I'm spending so much time with Max. After a headbutting incident, he ended up telling me that Max has been getting too much attention. Poor kid. I ended up taking him to the library yesterday and then we went and got a milkshake together, just him and I. Was really nice....and we didn't have any tantrums, or whining, or anything all day. Guess I should make more of an effort to do that at least once a week.

Handed over my first photo order today....they are really happy with them. Have gone all out with presentation - lime green tissue paper in white, glossy boutique style bags. White, glossy folders to hold bigger photos, or white boxes for the smaller ones. Brown ribbon, green ribbon, and nice labels for my logo have been printed out. Should have taken a photo of it I guess!

Speaking of photos....need to post some updated ones!

I'm sure there has been heaps more happen, but I'm too exhausted!!

Sorry.

Have been slack here. Really slack, I know. I'm not even sure why.

So, what have we been up to? I've done my 2nd photo shoot....went really well. A gorgeous family.....can't wait to show them the photos (hopefully tomorrow).

Did I mention that my first scrapbooking page was published this month? That was pretty exciting! Max is sick at the moment...poor little fella. Bad cough. Hope he gets better soon.

Clydey's b'day yesterday - we went out to Ali and Gary's for the day and Gary and Clydey played golf, then took Sam and Ryan to see Shrek 3. Sambo ran around the whole time apparently!! No frozen coke next time!!

Man, I should be editing photos, so will just do our high point and low points for now - and I promise I'll be back again soon.

High - Seeing my scrapping in print. Having my first order of $400.

Low - Max being sick. Also realising that I have less than a month before Max actually starts crawling properly....he's almost there. It's terrifying.

Boo Hoo.

My baby is growing up. My littlest baby that is. He has been waking up at night more often, and as much as I try to resettle him, it seems that he is really hungry. So I figured it was time to try him on some rice cereal. I figured that I would give it a go, he wouldn't go for it, and that would be it, right?

Ummmm. Wrong.

He didn't gag. He didn't spit it out. He sucked it off the spoon. Happily.

As I said, my baby isn't exactly a baby anymore. He's not quite 5 months old, but boy, it's gone so quickly. I think I've kinda half decided that another baby is getting more and more unlikely....so it makes me so sad that today might be the last day that I have a fully breastfed baby. *sigh*

Although saying that, we went over to Matt and Esther's last night for a bbq with them and Ali and Gary (and all the kids of course), and when Clydey picked up Ava for a cuddle, Ali and Esther watched him, then turned to me and said "You guys are SO having another baby!". Clydey really would love a little girl, a little princess. Me, I don't mind either way - sure a girl would be great, but I love having boys.

So, anyway. Hoping that a little farex has filled Max up and he doesn't wake up 3 times tonight!

Now workwise - was supposed to have a shoot this weekend for Sam's day care mum and her family, but due to the rainy weekend we've had, we have had to reschedule. I have another one next weekend, and 3 more in the pipeline. I can't believe how easy it's been to get work so far. I know it won't keep up being this easy and I will actually have to do some sort of advertising...but for now, it's great!

Anyway, off for now to finish watching Ugly Betty and find a recipe for Pineapple Upside Down cake!!
