Happy 1/2 Birthday Baby Boy!

This week Noah hit 6 months old!!! I'm at a complete loss to figure out where the last 6 months have gone.. it honestly feels like only a few weeks ago that we bought him home, all tiny and new.

Rob left on Thursday for the first leg of the Australian tour with The Amenta. They were playing Melbourne, two shows in Hobart, and another in Frankston (Vic) on the way home. So nearly 5 days away - which meant nearly 5 days for me being a single parent.. Good practice for June when Rob leaves for 5 WEEKS on the European tour.. A daunting prospect, and something I prefer not to think about right now!

Brydie came to hang out with us Friday night/Saturday. Was great to catch up as we dont get to see much of each other these days. Noah's a big fan of Aunty Brydz and was on his best behaviour during her visit.
..That was, until Sunday night when everything turned upside down :( A teething baby + only 1 mummy = a very long and screamy night for both of us! I think we totalled about 2 hours sleep all night, and somehow come morning Noah was bright eyed and bushy tailed, ready to take on the day (or at least the 2 hours until nap time).. whereas me... well, I was far less presentable :P

Noah is working on crawling at the moment. But he can't seem to get both the front and back ends up at the same time.. and most of the time ends up face planting the floor because his head is so much heavier than the rest of him - poor little guy! i might have to add some counter weight to his nappy to give him half a chance :P
I give him an A for effort though! The will is there, and I'm sure before long he will find a way! I'd better start baby proofing the house now.

The weather is getting cold now, today is raining and misty. Noah is all rugged up on the swing on the veranda while Rob plays him some guitar. I'm glad he's home again, even if its only for a few days before the next leg of the tour :)
