Giggles and ga's!

Xavier is getting so big, we can't believe how long he has got all of a sudden! It's amazing, he has gotten so big we are thinking it won't be long until we need to set the cot up and make the big move to the nursery, scary! That being said, he seems to be getting ready for it, cos he is now frequently sleeping from 10/11ish, until 7am, a trend we hope to see continue! He is so kind to us!
Tomorrow will see a new milestone for us, as we go away for the first time with our gorgeous boy, we are heading to Sydney for a wedding and weekend of catching up with people, so keep us in your prayers that Xavier is good, and that I (Rae) manage all the sitting and getting around! We are very excited though! And we will make sure to take lots of photos!

Lots of love, the Green Family xxxx chatting away to mummy
best of friends
he is starting to grab at things now that he has figured out his hands, so a whole new world of toys is here!
my boys... exhausted...
Xavier thinks mummy is very funny!
summer boy, nappy and singlet weather!
This was yesterday morning, kitty came and lay down with Xavier and I while he was feeding, it was so cute!

Nursery is mostly ready, now we just need a baby!

The nursery has been a work in progress for a little while now, but we think we are now mostly done! Since Duane only ever has Sundays off, it's been going in bits and pieces, but we are feeling so blessed with all the lovely gifts and particularly all the wonderful bibs, burpers, wraps, quilts and nursery items that Kim has been busy making!

Here are just some of the items, The Lemon and white nappy stacker and matching change table organiser also has a matching mosquito net and cot quilt! This is our ebay bargain change table as well, only $15 and it is even the same colour wood as our lovely cot!

The nappies have all been pre-washed several times, and are stacked ready to go. Duane still wants another nappy changing demo lesson, but other than that we are all set! They are much easier than traditional terry squares, so he is feeling pretty confident. :-)

The teddy chain has a special corner hook, and there is sure to be some more soft toys and teddies added to it soon.

The bassinet is going to be in our room for the first little while, as the nursery is a bit of a distance away, and is shown here with one of the beautiful cross stitches that Kellie has been making for us.


And here is the little (but getting bigger so quickly!) kitty who would LOVE to claim the nursery as her own... hmmm...
She is particularly fond of the change table, but I'm sure once she has the smells associated with it as well, she will not be as keen! She is very well behaved around our friends little baby, so we are hoping she will cope quite well to the new arrival!
All the small sized clothes and bassinet linen are washed and put away ready for a little one, and as Duane is taking a full month of leave, he should have a few days in which he can get the capsule installed in the car, and other such last minute jobs.
So we are very excited that it is only a matter of weeks until we will have our very own Green Baby!
We hope you are all well, please feel free to leave us messages in the comments section, and there should be quite a few new photos soon! Just waiting to get them off the camera and onto something that Rae can use on the laptop, so that posts can come much more often!

The Nursery is starting to look like a nursery!!

We have finally got our cot all set up in the baby's room, the boys did a good job of getting it all together despite my instructions! The base is currently set to the high position for when beanie is little, and when they are more mobile (or just before...) we will adjust is down to the lower position, which sits just above the drawer underneath. The kitty also tried to "help" and thought the draw was fantastic... hence the captive kitty pictures!

I have also succeeded in making a mitten... the only problem is that it has come out far to big! So now I'm doing a new pair in different wool, and just counting the other as practice! I haven't put the ribbon through the holes yet, but maybe it could become a marble bag or something! :-D

Still haven't quite sorted everything out to show everything we have, been a bit busy! But on my list of things to do this week, I promise!

Big hugs from us!
