The Worst Blogger 2013 Award


… has to go to myself!

One of my goals for 2014 will definitely be to blog more often.

Here is a looooonnnngggg overdue update on us.

Hayley:

At 2 years and 9 months we are truly enjoying the stage she is at now.  She talks a lot and has so many things to tell us every day.  She eats well, can keep herself entertained for long periods at a time and enjoys helping me around the house.  She listens well and we have had very few terrible 2 issues.  I can’t believe that we will soon be planning her 3rd birthday party.

She still does not sleep through in her bed at night, but we have accepted this and now take things as they come.  She is fully potty trained and has been of the night nappy for about a month now.  We still have the occasional accident, but she is doing really well and making us so proud.

She enjoys books; especially the ones where we ask her the names of objects.  We read together every night and then Hayley will do a prayer before we kiss her good night.  Most nights she thanks Jesus for being able to laugh.  Cutest thing ever! 

She loves watching Lollos, Carike and Ghoempie, Mickey mouse Clubhouse and Barney.  She enjoys signing and can sign a few songs like Twinkle Twinkle, Wielie Walie, Handjies Klap and most of the songs on her Lollos and Ghoempie DVD’s and CD’s.  She plays with dolls for hours and is so motherly and soft hearted.  Recently she also discovered dresses and will take her clothes of and dress herself in the dresses in her cupboard 100 times a day.  After putting on a dress she will come and model it for me and daddy.

She is doing well at school and we are proud of the yearly report we received from the school recently.  She also had a school concert, and just like her mommy she was very shy on stage and just stood there, but performed really well in the Monkeynastix routine they had before the break.  I was so proud and I am really happy that we decided to let her start Monkeynastix this year.

We also recently went down to Rheebok (close to Mosselbay) to visit my parents for the first time since they moved and it was also Hayley’s first time at the ocean.  She was so amazed with this big, blue ocean.  Her face when she first got out of the car will be engraved in my memory for ever.  She loved the sand, but was a bit weary of the water.  She would go close and as soon as a wave breaks she will run back screaming and laughing.  By the 2nd day she was sitting in the water playing with the sand.  It was so nice and she really amazed us on the long car journey, keeping herself entertained or sleeping.  I am such a proud mommy. 

Below is an overload of photos taken over the last few months.

Me and hubby:

We are doing really well, 2013 was both a really tough year for us but also a good year full of blessings.

I am still married to the best man on the universe, he always helps in and around the house, helps a lot with Hayley and absolutely lives for his little family.  He is gentle and kind and I love this man more and more every day! 

In 2014 we will also be introducing a new addition to the family.  Yes blog friends, I am pregnant, but more about that in my next blog.
