Colds are over with for now and there seems to be loads of news so best get on!!

Martha had her very first haircut last week, how scary and exciting. I wasn't sure how she was going to react to having chopping at it, she doesn't like it being brushed much so I went in with my fingers crossed. Funny though went up to the hairdressers on the main road on Thurs morning hoping I could have it cut there and then- she didn't have her scissors!!!? Well anyway went up later that day and she got sat in the chair and the apron went on- first word to come out of Marthas mouth- off!! Great start, however I held her hand and she was fine, kept saying off off off and I think that was more to her hair coming off rather than wanting apron off. I think if sahe had wanted the apron off she would have created more fuss over it. Wasn't sure up until that moment whether she was going to have a fringe or not and in the end I decided to go for it, not sure how long it will last but actually it makes her hair a lot easier to manage as now I don't need clips and bobbles so even though it will need to be cut more often it might actually be worth it. So there we have it Martha had her hair cut!

Sarah turned 30 a few weeks ago and it was arranged that we would have a family meal last Saturday in Morgans in Swansea, very nice hotel and restaurant- I think CZJ has been there. We met early afternoon and had a really lovely meal and catch up with everyone. This was followed by the game (Wales v NZ) and then drinks down the 12. A really good night and a lot of Sarahs friends made it out which was nice for her too. She wasn't as drunk as I thought she might have been in fact it was me who was a little bit worse for wear, but then I have had 10 months off so who can blame me. I was actually ok until we left and got home and then I think the fresh air hit me quite hard! Not a pretty sight.

Martha is now really getting loads of words and putting them together loads now, I think when she goes to the cilch in Jan she will get even better, she is so busy and doesn't stop. She is great.

Millie is now coming along nicely now too and is gurgling loads and smiling loads too, such a lovely time, I know where she is if I put her down and just generally being very cute.

Christmas is fast approaching and I am quite glad to say we are pretty much sorted now and I know the next few weeks will fly by what with it being Marthas birthday next week- can't believe she is going to be 2!! I had a real problem getting to sleep last night and I was thinking loads about Christmas and getting excited about what it will be like in a few years- how sad am I!! Tonight I need to clear my mind and get a good nights sleep!

I updated Liams website the other day and just now have my November pictures to put on there and pictures from Sarahs birthday on Sat. Will do that soon but not tonight. Off to grab an earlyish night.
