Zeke's First Easter! Part 1

Well, Zeke's first easter has come and gone! What an awesome day it was too! The day started with an egg hunt at Granny's house, then moved to lunch at U.John & A.Jean's where we made Ressurection Buns and painted eggs. Zeke slept through the second egg hunt and rolling the eggs down the drive, but still had a great time and loved all the chocolate!

Well onto the important part... pics!

Zeke finds his first egg....


Tastes the foil...


And puts it in his basket!


He soon found some more eggs and taste-tested them all!









He also tried to steal some eggs!



Checking out his bounty with Granny



And tasting yet more foil!



Finally the real thing!



Part 2 will come tomorrow morning once the rest of the pics are uploaded!

10 Months and 5 Days

And Zeke is now walking!

We were practising standing alone (which he can do when you help stand up then let go) and I was sitting about 3 1/2 feet in front of him, with Ryan helping him. I held out my arms and said "come to mummy" expecting Zeke to drop and crawl to me.

Guess he had other ideas! Zeke leaned forward, shuffled his feet a couple of times, and then all of a sudden went step, step, step, plonk and fell straight into my arms! I turned him round and Ryan called him, back he went, step, step, step plonk!

He did this back and forth game 5 or 6 times, including with time out to get Ryan's camera working so we could record this awesomeness! So far his record is 3.5 feet and 6 steps! We will be practising this often.

Holy crap I'm the mother of a toddler! On the other hand, isn't he supposed to do this later?

Urgh!

Well not the most cheerful post for finally updating, but Zeke is sick and Ryan lost his job.

Zeke has a definite cold and the Dr said maybe bacterial in his lungs/throat. We have Demazin for the snot, ABs for the bacterial and panadol for the fever and likely sore throat. (Dr said it was inflamed and red.) I am also hoping that the Demazin gives us a good night rest as I am exhausted and stressed!

Ryan hurt his back at work just on a month ago and has been off ever since. He was fired this morning because "he was costing too much" let me tell you this is utter freakin shit... but because they've stated financial reasons and company downsizing as the reason they fired him, we can't do anything even though he was off with an injury he got at work.

I promise I will try to do a better update that is more cheerful soon... however let me see if I can at least find a photo to share...

Here's Zeke after a painting session at Mum's Group!
