Introducing Mr Helmet

Yesterday I took Samuel to get his helmet put on. It was a bit of a mixed emotion day as I'm sad at the fact that he has to look like an american football player for 3 months, but I know its for the best and that I will eventually get used to him wearing it.

He hasn't complained at all with wearing it, although we are starting off slow. Today was 1.5 hrs on, half hr off, and then tomorrow its 3 hrs on, half hr off etc until we get to 7 days later and he'll be wearing it for the full 23 hrs a day :(

It didnt end up costing us anything as my health care card (always forget I have one) covered it...so we didnt need to up our PHI dam it!

Afterwards I drove to Leahs and hung out there for the day. Elliot got back about 7.30pm as he was in country Inverell for a week. I handled it like a pro this time, probably because I wasnt hormonal and pregnant!

Here are some pictures from yesterday. As you can see he is still a happy bubba:

Sammy is 2 months!

S had his 2 month needles the other day and it was the hardest thing I have had to do! I had to hold his poor little legs down while they stuck the needles in him. The first one was bad and he cried but stopped pretty much straight away, but the second one OMG He screamed so loud and his face went bright red and he was so sad.... :( It took me 10 mins to soothe him. Im defiantely not looking forward to his 4 month needles. He is almost sleeping through the night now! Bedtime is between 7-730pm, and I follow the bath, bottle, bed routine. This has helped him realise bedtime is approaching and he starts to unwind! He will generally sleep until bet...

Mr Timmy came for a visit

34 weeks 6 days Tim was up in QLD for his school rock-band tour and so we decided to meet up for dinner. It had been over a year since we had seen him last. We went to the Glen Hotel and had a nice dinner. A few hours before we had left Samuel fell face first into gravel in the front yard. Poor lil thing was all scratched up. But he was really well behaved considering it was late at night when he's usually fast asleep. Here are some pics:

Merry Christmas Everyone

Just a quick blog post for our Christmas Day at the Johnson Household. We spent the day at home just chilling. The boys opened their presents when they woke up. They got a mountain bike each and a few other bits and pieces and Elijah opened his pressie as well. We had mum over for lunch. It was a nice day :)
