Cold...

Brrr...winter's here! Thank goodness for air conditioning. Although, its not worth it having to listen to the energy monitor beeping every time it goes over $2 an hour.

So glad I don't live in Toowoomba anymore - I can't really complain about the cold here in Brisbane because compared to some parts its quite balmy!

So whats been happening?

Robbie had his 4 month check up and needles a few weeks ago. He weighed in at 6.3kg - I thought he'd be heavier. I'm not sure what the "normal" weight is for a bubby his age, but I'm not going to worry about it - he's happy and healthy and the doc didn't express any concern. He's started having a few solids (if you can call mushed up baby food solid) now. Seems to be enjoying it. He's really starting to develop a gorgeous personality now - I love this age when they're starting to discover new things every day. He's found his toes over the last couple of days - very cute! A friend loaned us a walker and he's loving it!

We've got him booked into childcare for when I go back to work in September. I'm dreading it. I know it will all be okay - but blah..

We spent the long weekend out at Jason's parent's place at Tara. Zak loves going out there - I think it has something to do with the four wheeler. This pic was taken not long after he rolled it. Argh.. I think I aged about ten years in that moment. Not a scratch on him thank god!

I've been doing lots of scrapping! Gotta make the most of it while I can. Went to a crop night last night at my local store, Paper Addiction. Was a great night but I felt like a tired old woman so didn't last till midnight. But managed to get a couple more pages done in Zak's first year album and a couple of 12x12 layouts almost finished. Just gotta put the finishing touches on.

A couple of my favourite latest layouts:

This one was my first attempt at using one of those Heidi Swap resist thingies. I started off not really liking it but as the colour developed it really started to improve. I ended up putting this one on a canvas and giving it to Jason's parents. It's them in the photos, they call Robbie Possum.

This one was originally for one of the challenges in 52 pick up at Little Scrapbook shop but I mucked it up by not reading the instructions properly (no patterned paper). I love how this turned out though!

Another layout for 52 pick up at Little Scrapbook Shop. This one was all about white space - my favourite kind of layout! Its actually a 12x12 layout but I was too lazy to faff around with the scanner!And yet another for 52 pick up - I think this one was to use more than 1 or 2 patterned papers. Love this photo of Robbie and love how the layout turned out.
