Reuben enjoying a walk around the castle! It was very windy! We were chasing KITES! Morning excercise! This hopes to deal with the hyperactivity!!! As you see the dummy can't be missing!
Now this is a really sweet one! Red red red! R;s favourite colour! Aunty Cheryl gave us this fine furniture! HIs first desk and chairs! He loves sitting at it! Reuben loves chasing poor old Popsy but she has hidden well out R's way! Minutes earlier R tried to put his head through the catflap...now that would have been a really realy good pic!

Hello We have been rather good so far. Since Rebeka left we were abe to spend some quality time mummy and son and tune into each other. Reuben now knows how to say he is hungry (by doing a special thing with his lips) and can tell me he is tired and would like his naps. He can give me some really sweet kisses....(ok...this needs some teaching) but all in all we are well...and alive!

We have a good day routine and nights are more bareable too. Reuben starts nusery tomorrow we are a little apprehensive but fingers crossed things will be ok. We will attend a first wedding on Friday....and mummy and daddy are very very excited as the people marrying each other are mummy;s "match made" .....so exciting!

This is Reuben taking mummy on a trip to the farm....he loved this!
This is a sweet little house mummy loved it....big garden....animals, flowers everything...
This is again mummy's time of remembering old times from ROMANIA!

Reuben saying ba ba ba ba!
Touchy feely....who needs those touching feeling books when you can do this?!

Feeling safe with daddy around the MOOO MOOO COWS! What a fun day....gaggagagagaaaa and the mac macs it was fabulous!

Hello

We have spent a nice day at Kent Life Museum in Cobtree...and here are the pictures!

With Daddy and Mummy at Bwater!

This is with Reuben's friend Georgia!

Hello

We had a nice quite day yesterday with Reuben and mummy enjoying some nice strolls and some quality time. The little pickle seems to have gotten into this wierd routine where he sleeps from 10:30ish to 12 ish and then he does not sleep for the rest of the day. So often around 5pm he is knackered. We are putting him to bed around 7pm....although with the teething we had now a lot of desturbed nights....just when you think you are in a nice routine everything changes....

Anyway, yesterday as we have had a quite day in the afternoon we went to Bwater to pick up daddy and we had a brilliant time....then back home for dinner, bath and sleep.

BYE BYE REBI!!!

Rebeka is gone! How sad....! The evening routine has not been the same...the day has not been either! We got up and got ready for the airport trip then said our tearful goodbyes (it was nice to have Rebi here for two months and two weeks and she is a hero for surviving it...especially while I was still up and down college and work etc)...it was such a special goodbye with tears...

She will be remembered for all the fun and all the help she gave us! Often we would sit in the living room all gloomy and doomy and she would make us laugh and get excited about things...we did not think you can enjoy anymore...(well not when you're knackered). Should be interesting to see how Reuben will find being only with mummy the next few days... (I mean day time).

For now here some pictures of Rebeka leaving!

Reuben had a brilliant bank holiday so far!
Saturday we spent time with Granny and Grandpa Smith and had lunch at the Cathedral Tea Rooms (Gardens) and then we had a nice stroll on the riverside...then we had a nice ending to the day by going to the playground and got really tired! Then today we went to Legoland! Let the pictures speak for themsleves. tomorrow we are all going to Museum of Kent Life where we love it...we have been there previously.

Here is happy LEGO LAND FAMILY on the LEGO TRAIN!

AND OFF COURSE WE HAD TO ENJOY HORSY HORSY!

Reuben;s favourite bit the small town and the vechicles....EVERYTHING WAS CAAAAAR!


OK WIERD FAMILY! But Reuben had to inspect from very close and decided they weren;t huggable...so moved on to the next lot!

Now this was something more interesting....for Reuben!

What a picture! Love the trains passing bye....R just wants to catch them all...!

And even a paddle steam went bye while we were out!

Reuben had an interesting week so far! We generally spent time around Rochester...went out everyday for a short while. Mummy managed to get all his clients on a one evening so that means she was around a bit more. R is very touchy feely this week...having discovered his bits he is always looking for them and pulling them....auch! He also ate better and kind a slept okish this week. He was weighed on Tuesday and he weighs 10kgs 160 grams which is about 22lb.
We are ok with this! We found some good bargains this week at the charity shops one thing R loves is his MEGABLOCKS but also his fire engine.
We are off this weekend to see grandparents in Sittingbourne tomorrow...then we might go to Legoland on Sunday and Monday we would go to see something NATIONAL TRUST LIKE....since we are members!
Ok. Must go do some ironing!

Hello!

Reuben had his MMR jabs this week and he is reacted so far okish to them. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle cuddly toys etc. Loves to walk everywhere and he seems to get along with everyone okish. He seems to be coping with evening routine and sometimes he is so tired that after bath, play and bottle he just climbs into his cot and after one two backstrokes he snores away....HURRAY! Still we have not slept yet the night through....but....we are aiming for it. Quite how we don;t know yet! He is certainly slowly getting used to things and learning so we are hopeing its all gone be a matter of development as we wouldn;t like to make him into a machine, robot or automatic something ....neither do we want to be such things...
Will live and see?!:))
