It has been a while

Well it has been a while since I lasted posted on here, so I have no clue where to start. I am finally free as I finished my course about a week ago and am now just waiting on results. Hopefully I will have passed. It is so nice now not to have to worry about studying or reading. I am finally enjoying reading again after three years of studying. I think that is about all for me.

As for Eli, well he is growing so fast. He has two bottom teeth coming in really good, just waiting on the top ones to come through. He is doing so well biting and chewing things now. Everything seems to go in his mouth, we caught him eating paper the other day. He is not crawling yet, he gets really frustrated by it and just cant be bothered to try. However he does love to walk holding our hands so he may very well walk without crawling. We took him camping for the first time Monday night and well it was an adventure. He did really well didnt take to long to go to bed but at 1230 am he woke up and was wide awake. He was on an air bed with me and refused to go back to sleep, two hours later on the verge of saying lets go home as we were only an hour away from home I suggested we get his carseat and see how he does in that. Well he went straight to sleep and woke up about 645 am. So we are going to by him a camping cot for next weekend hopefully he will do better in that.

It was Simon's first fathers day this past weekend, so Eli and I made him some sugar cookies shaped saying Number 1 (cant find number symbol) DAD. We also made him a roast dinner on Sunday and he got the camping pots he wanted and Eli sponsored a penguin at our zoo, as this is his favorite animal. We now have to think about what to get him for his birthday coming up soon.

We finally got a case number for Simon's visa and immediately sent back all the papers for the next stage so now we are just waiting on a case number. We have decided on a moving company and I will be booking with them next week. We will send the sea shipment on August 20th but have no clue when we will see it next as it will be part of a group container we have to wait for the container to be filled. So when packing I have to think that we are really packing for three months, which means including winter clothes. Ahhh so much to think about. I have also started to look at insurance but have not found anything yet.

I think that is all for now.

Finally teeth

Well the day finally came when Eli cut a tooth, on his seven month birthday a tooth broke through YAY!!! Then two days later the second one came through, so he is now a little boy with two teeth popping through the service. Last time I wrote Eli had a yucky tummy bug, well it only got worse as Simon and I both came down with it on the same day, it was difficult to look after Eli when we were both feeling so yucky. But we were all better in a day so it was yucky and fast.

Eli has been doing really well with his BCG shot and it seems to be doing well and healing. We went back to swimming lessons this week for the first time in three weeks and boy did he love it. He was laughing in the pool and lots of splashing. When we got out and were getting dressed he threw a BIG temper tantrum as I had to set him down to get dressed. Man does this little boy have a temper, the other day he kicked, arched his back and screamed until he got his sippy cup back. He is a little monkey.

We went to see his peaditrician at the hospital today and said Eli will just need to be monitored, one kidney had improved but the other had gotten a little worse but time will tell.

I am currently trying to cram for my exam, it is a bit difficult with a little monkey around but I think I am getting there, I just cant wait for June 16th to come and go. I just hope I can pass it, it seems like it will be really difficult. Well I should be off to study.
