Synchronization of Us

After 5 long years DH finally got to Graduate yesterday . Seeing him walk across that stage and receive his certificate was definetly a moment we will never forget. After working so hard and for so long he deserved to have that moment of recognition .

It really was a great day, the kids got to join us for a celebration meal in the evening and we all fell into bed exchasted by the evenings end.

Slight change of subject but expect lots of posts from me this week, i have finally got around to organizing my pictures (going back to May, how bad) and have found about a thousand imagines and posts from those . Going to keep it to once a day to not overwhelm but feel free to skip them, they will be labeled “Catch Up” .

Im so excited , Big Brother starts in just over 2 and a half hours . I just love this show, i have
watched it since a couple of episodes into the first season and got more
addicted each year. Its a big thing here in the UK and the housemates will be front page news for the next few months. My sister and i are both going to be watching the opening night and sending mean texts back and forth, its fun to make guesses what the people will be like.
Its on for a record 13 weeks and 2 days this time around , I’m going to have to time for any other TV shows

I do think the excitement has gotten to me a little though as tonight i gave Rebecca her bath after dinner (normally DHs job but he has his last exam tomorrow) , can anyone tell me whats wrong with the picture?

I’m a silly mummy aren’t i ?

In other news we have had two little milestones from Eilidh this week, she pulled herself up for the first time the other day. She has been trying constantly again since, she can do it fine on a person but really needs something to grab hold of still . Today i also saw her for the first time get herself from a crawling position to a sitting position, I’m sure she has done it before but its the first time i watched her do it. She is just such a big girl .

Long time no post, i swore when i started this blog that i was either going to write regularly
or not write at all. Its just been a busy week with little computer time - plus i just got my hands on Diner Dash 3 - Flo On The Go (Play trial at - http://tinyurl.com/37prmk) and have to play these till there completed.

Its been the usual fun in the McIntyre home, Rebecca is getting better and better at the walking everyday . Today she barely crawled at all and was even trying to dance, she also got a new word “Back Pack” as in Dora’s - Thanks Mum. Eilidh is really getting good at babbling and is
desperately trying to roll over but the dam arm keeps getting in the way.
We had a weigh in the other day and Becca is finally above the 20lbs mark at 20.5 and 81cm long (up from 19.11 and 77cm long the month before). Eilidh was 13.2 and 64cm long .

It was my wedding anniversary on Monday, a whole 2 years married
It really seems like nothing when compared to alot of couples, my parents have been married 26 years in April and I’m sure that is nothing for some people. DH and i had a lovely evening - just the fact that we spent it together was enough for me. We had a meal (Domino’s Pizza - but saved him cooking and other take aways are out as Eilidh reacts to alot of things) , and watched a movie (The Break Up) . The sweetest thing was he arranged candles all around the room and we eat and sat in candle light all night, he really is a romantic guy at heart.

Finally Rebecca is walking only took 20 months.

She is not quite 100% yet but is getting more confident every hour. The difference between yesterday and today is amazing.
I am on cloud 9 right now as i was beginning to feel this would never happen, i have so many plans for the summer now and cannot wait to take her out once she is walking 100%.

I have learned so much from this experience, i have a cousin who never walked till 18 months and i really thought there was something wrong with her or her parents. Every time I read about a child older than around 14 months not walking i really felt the parents were to blame. I now know that’s not true, Rebecca has never been an average child and why should she walk in the average range.

I’m a happy proud mammy today.
