Little Boy has a number of teeth now, with a cheesy, cheeky grin showing itself! He is super active, crawling at 9 months and pulling himself up to standing at 10 months, now he's all of 11 months (nearly 1!!!!) and is proudly parading himself around the loungeroom coffee table using his walker (not on his own two feet just yet..). So Mummy's work is still cut out for her, checking what he's into when everything goes quiet, and rescuing him from all sorts of 'I can't fit through here, or I can't get down from here' type-situations! It's all fun & adventurous in the world of Little Boy :)
Speaking of Little Boy, who has decided feeding himself is much more desirable than being fed with a spoon by somebody else...he is watching Mummy's belly grow & expecting a Little Tiny One (brother or sister) in early February next year. Exciting stuff!!
So the Barnes family grows :)
Here's a picture of Little Boy after he climbed up onto the dishwasher to 'help' Mummy.
And here's a family pic, Daddy, Little Boy & Mummy at a friends place for lunch in June this year.
Mummy and Daddy had great fun one weekend in June, planting a veggie patch-very rewarding work!
We're starting to see the fruits of our labour now, and I'll be sure to post a photo of our first 'reaping'!
Just to give you an idea, the veggie patch runs almost the length of this fence in our backyard. This is about one tenth of the whole thing, just the beans :) We planted beans, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, onion, cucumber, tomato, lettuce, not to mention the rose bushes! ;) Mummy's always wanted to grow roses like her Grandma does :) They're so beautiful and smell so lovely on the dining room table.
Oh, and here's Little Boy, who found another great spot to hang out in the kitchen...the potato bin!
Hmm...didn't want that shoe on anyway!
Not sure if I've already posted this one, but some very good friends of ours were married in March, and Little Boy was so handsome in his little suit, I just had to post this.
One more cheeky shot of Little Boy, when he first starting rolling over in the pram as he woke up...check out that cheeky face! Don't worry...we strap him in now ;)
Our business is well underway now, with the creation of business cards & flyers, thanks to some great friends of ours. Thanks for helping us out guys!
We're now hopeful that business will keep generating by word-of-mouth, as well as advertising on the web & letter-box drops...here's to the next 3 years in the early business phase!
Mummy is still working 2 days a week at school, but very much looking forward to what the new year will hold...two little ones and full-time at home Mum :) (fingers crossed!) Well, more than that, we're praying that the Lord will bless the work of our hands and that Mummy won't need to work once Little Tiny One comes. But for now we wait and see, in faith, what the Lord will do in our lives.
Praise God for little miracles :)
