So its been a while. A lot has happened and Ive been busy and exhuasted!
Since Val and Jon were here (my last post) Gregory has learnt to (sorta!) crawl... he just goes backwards! He doesnt seem to have the strength in his legs to push forwards although his arms push and push!! Its quite ironic coz Chelsea has the leg strength and just seems to head-plant into the carpet - between them they would be crawling around everywhere - totally unstoppable!
We've been busy with visitors - Kathryn came and had dinner one night. We had a great time. We usually play cards or something after dinner but we had a Greggie to bath and stuff!!
Lyn, Mark and Sarah came up from Sydney for a weekend + a day or two. They came up to help Gran & Grandpa celebrate 62 years of marriage! Gran, Grandpa, Lyn, Mark, Sarah, Graham, Lynda and Chelsea were all here for afternoon tea on Saturday. G&G cut a cake - it was a nice relaxing time. Its a shame that Grandpa probably won't remember it tho. Everytime I see him I try to remember how he was and it frustrates me how such a proud man could be so .... different.
Gregory is now eating from a spoon - halellujah! Its only taken months of convincing him that its good and yummy! The spoon goes in his mouth, the food goes in, then he spits it 1/2 out with his tongue before pushing it back in with his fingers. It may be messy, and take a while BUT it works!!!
We look like we're heading to Sydney at the end of the month for a seminar about Gregorys Muscular Dystrophy. It should be informative. It will be held at Westmead Childrens Hospital and is for parents and careers of children with muscular diseases.
Currently Gregory is in bed and Chelsea thinks she owns the house - calling out and blowing rasberries! Both the little darlings are teething - yay the nappies.... (those with bubs who've teethed will know what I mean!) NOT!
This weekend is Fathers day - won't tell you whats planned incase Paulie reads this (hi darling hubby!), but we are going to Cooks for dinner as its also Megans birthday. Should be a good night.
Must scoot - still lots to do before Lynda gets back shortly.
Bye y'all!
