In the Night Garden Cake

My little man turned 2 recently, and I struggled as to what cake to make for him. Then one day he was watching tv and this show came on. He got so excited, so that made my mind up for me.

It ended up being such a rush job, I started decorating the cake at 6.30pm the night before his party. It was also the same weekend as the previous posts Wedding, I won't do that again.

Everyone loved the cake, all Harrison wanted was to lick the icing off the character's feet, lol.

6" + 9" Chocolate mud cakes, covered in vanilla buttercream. Plastic figurines & fondant details.

Well, this will be the last post for what has been a very eventful year! Next year, I hope to spend more time with my friends and family, keep my blog up to date, and my NY resolution is to try to swear less.

So from Harrison, Adam & I, we wish you all a very Happy & Safe 2009.

Say cheese!

Harrison & Santa

Today we took Harrison for his Santa photos. We are so happy with this years photo. He was perfect, and went to Santa straight away.

Off to the park!

It was such a lovely day today, so my good friends Rach, Jillian & I decided to take the kids to Maitland Park. The older kids went on the play equipment and the swings, whilst Harrison stayed on the picnic rug, played with his toys and tried to eat every bodies food. I took my camera, but the kids weren't really in the mood to pose. Rach took a fruit platter and some cordial, it was yummy.I love this photo of Harrison!HarrisonKeenanAidan

Reaghan

My messy little man.

The last few months have been filled with independence for Harrison. He loves doing things himself. He is such a little man these days. Part of this independence is feeding himself. For me it has been hard because I hate messes (or I hate cleaning them up), but I have had to forget about the mess and let the man do his thing. It's been a few months since he will even attempt to let us help him. If we spoon feed him, he just pulls the food out of his mouth, and smooshes it onto the highchair tray, the scrapes it back up and eats it again. It's just gross. He now has a bath after most meals, as it's easier than wiping him down.

This photo was taken the night before his 1st birthday. I love it.

Happy 1st Birthday Harrison!

I can't believe my little man is 1 already! how fast has this past year gone.

The big stack of presents. he was one spoilt boy!

Happy Father's Day!

Who would have thought getting a 10 month old to hold cardboard letters, whilst I took some photo's would be so hard. All Harrison wanted to do was eat the letters, he ended up with dark blue dye all over his mouth. I didn't get as many photo's as I would have liked, but they turned out ok.

Adam has been at work since 9pm last night (he also worked all day yesterday), and only just walked in the door, so probably not the day he had expected. We are off to my parents house for dinner later on. I have made lemon meringue cupcakes, will post the recipe later on.

On other news, Harrison has ditched his dummy. He now clamps his mouth shut at the site of it. After 2 days of bad sleeps, he is now back to normal. : )

Harrison's first night away!

Last Saturday night, Adam & I had a wedding to attend. So Harrison spent from lunch time Saturday till lunch time Sunday at Granny & Gramps's house. I had a few tears as I said good-bye, lol. I stressed all night that he wouldn't sleep for them, and that they would have to spend the entire night resettling him. Well he proved me wrong. He slept from 9.20pm till 7.45am asleep. He is such a good boy.

Harrison 8.5 months

He makes my heart smile everyday!

Harrison has Conjunctivitis

I had to take Harrison to the Dr's today, as there was green goop, oozing from his right eye. I'm not happy, as it means I'm house bound for the next few days : ( I suppose it's one of the joys of having kids.Poor bubba!

Harrison 8 months old

Here's a couple of photos I have taken this week, with my new Canon 50mm lense.

He is starting to be so funny, he smiles and laughs at most things, and is constantly chatting away. He will eat absolutely anything too. The second photo was taken on my Birthday, (will post some birthday pics later on) after dinner, in his portable high chair.

My boys are sick!

Well both my boys are sick today. Harrison has been to the Dr's, and he has Broncoliatis, and has since started throwing up. And Adam has been to the Dr's and has a throat infection.

My Mum looked after Harrison today so I could catch up on some cleaning / washing and odd jobs. And I finally got Harrison's baptism Thank-you's printed and posted.

I am off to tafe tonight, for week 3 of my Cake Decorating course I am doing, tonight we are doing piping. So should be good as I need some practice, we are also putting our designs in for what we are going to be making for the next 4 weeks.
