Noah's First Easter

Noah had his first visit from the Easter Bunny this past weekend... and while mummy and daddy got our first parental Easter chocolate over-load, Noah was wrapped in the other parts of his Easter bunny goodies... Peter rabbit books, dinner sets and bunnies... but more so the packaging they all came in! :p

Last Monday Noah and I went to visit our friends Bec and Noah again. We havnt made it to mothers group much lately so it was great to see them again. 'The Noah's' had a great time showing off their sitting (and hitting) skills to each other and Bec and I were amazed to find we'd both bought the boys EXACTLY the same items for Easter :p ... but I suppose out of all the names in the world we did name our children the same one, so theres a good chance we have the same tastes in other areas of life also!

Rob didnt have any gigs this weekend for the first time in over a month. So its been great to have him around for more than 2 days in a row! He's off to Newcastle and Sydney this weekend, after that we get a couple of weeks break before the dreaded European tour kicks off.

I've been getting stuck back into the house painting this week. When Noah was a newborn I was able to get half the outside of the house done while he slept.. but all that changed when the colic and relfux set in, and once they subsided he wasnt a sleepy newborn anymore. Instead he was an alert, ready to be entertained baby.. and as a result we've had a two-toned house ever since :p. So since Rob has been leaving for work quite early in the morning and getting home in the early arvo, I have had time this week to keep chipping away at the green walls.. and replace it with (a slightly brighter than anticipated) purpley-grey! .. The doors and trim are also not the tone I was after.. I wanted a deep, burnt purple/brown  but what I ended up with was more of a Cadbury chocolate factory purple.. oh well, bright is good for the soul isnt it? hehe.. it is now!

I must remember to book Noah in for his 6 month vaccinations this week. He's a week away from being 7 months, but his teeth (or more accurately, lack of) have been giving him such trouble I didnt want to add anymore to his plate so he's now a little behind schedule. He's slept so well today, almost 3 hours all up already and its not even 3pm yet. I think he must be going through a growth spurt. It would expain why he all of a sudden inhales his solids twice everyday now.. and will easily down 1/2 cup of them and still have room for 210ml bottle of milk directly afterwards!



Speaking of which, I should get back to painting before he's awake again!
