A weekend without Dad

Annually around Adams birthday the Spirit and Julie organise a 'mothers trip' around that time. Last year was the first year and most of the mums that went on the over night voyage were mums of Adams friends. This year the invitation went out again and a group of mixed (some different and some the same) mums headed out for the over night voyage. Mark goes as the engineer and also to support his mum. The do a little sail training and bring a pot luck of food and go out to Adams spot. We missed Mark but I had a fun weekend planned catching up with different friends and hanging with my babies. It was also an old school party in Dockyard Sat night which was sure to be alive until at least 2am! I figure if you can't beat em join em. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great so we ended up going to a friends house but their was plenty of entertainment for both kids and by 10pm they were knocked out and unaware of the booming party that ended up going on until 4am just outside our boat.

Jacob has also mastered the skill of crawling and pulling himself up on something.  On Sat. night while we were getting ready to go out I looked away and next thing I know Jacob had moved himself over to the companion way and pulled himself up onto the steps. As you can see.  He is on the move; and fast!

Crashed

Well on the drive home from picking Marley up from school I had a great topic idea and thought out dialogue for tonight's post... Hoses and Hormones.... I was going to explain the frustration of running out of water mid-shower to have to then in your towel and soapy hair run up the companion way onto the dock to turn the hose on and fill up the tanks when living on a boat.  I was also going to discuss the fact that my baby is ONLY 4 months old.... sometimes it feels like he has been here forever already.  Its hard to remember what life was like before him but then I recall as my body is still recovering from 9 months of creating him and then 6 hours of labour.  I think with your second especially it is very easy to forget that not long ago the latest bundle of joy just arrived! The signs are there though, my hair is still falling out, my body is still stretched and misshaped, overall I still feel and look like I had a baby!
However, tonight is going to be an early one; Jacob has not continued sleeping through the night and with the holidays approaching we are all exhausted!  I promise to revise this site soon; was rejected from Adspace so I need to really examine what is required out of blogging.... night time reading "Mom Blogging for Dummies" however tonight I don't think i'll make it past the introduction!
