That Was the Week that Was............Hell!
I miss Anna and Owen so much! We had such a brilliant time. Finn was in his element. He adores adores them. They are legal guardians should anything happen to us, and just knowing how much Finn loves them is just so comforting. He always wanted to be with them, which meant they didn’t get many lie ins! Stupidly we went to the airport to say goodbye. When we were there, Finn was really playing up and was so whingey. He kept saying “No, go to the airport” I got very confused as we were already there, until we realised he was saying “No go to the airport” as in let’s get outta here! And then when it came for the final goodbyes……..OMG! Finn just screamed and screamed “Don’t go” and was yelling for Uncle O, reaching out for him. Was utterly heartbreaking. He sobbed and sobbed, totally unlike anything he has done before. Couldn’t get a taxi for ages as I was worried he’d throw up he’d worked himself into such a state. And that was the start of the week from hell.
So, Justin was away, his two best friends in the world had left, and Finn just lost the plot. He whined all week. Now Finn can whine with the best of them, but this took his skills to a whole new level. Nothing was right. He would just sit on my lap and sob. I want Uncle O he’d cry. Quite often I’d catch him in his room making imaginary phone calls to Owen asking him to come home now. Sad little monkey. Worst thing is my patience was being worn away and I snapped a few times which didn’t help matters. It was just so bloody wearing! When I say he whined, I mean he whined the whole time! When he wasn’t whining, he was wanting to be in my arms, which is so unlike him. Poor Tilly really didn’t get a look in. Justin came back on Thursday and he saw just how strange Finn was being. We went to the zoo on Saturday , Finn’s favourite place, and he cried the whole time! But come Sunday, our Finn was back! And touch wood he has been fine since. The clouds have lifted! (Not going to dwell on the fact Justin goes to Oz on Sunday for five days…………..)
In other news, Tilly is on the move finally! Not proper crawling, more wounded soldier, but she is very proud of herself. She is such a fab little girl and is just always smiling. Easiest baby ever. (But I remember posting when she wasn’t a fan of sleeping, so not fully rose tinted glassed up!) I do remember though that Finn was a happy baby and now look!!!!!! Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He isn’t really naughty and rarely has had a tantrum, he is just King of the Whines! Would much rather he did have tantrums as they are out of the way, instead it was just constant whines and no no no to everything.
I stopped boobiefeeding Tills a couple of weeks ago. Didn’t really want to stop and still feel crap about it, but I was just getting too thin. Was hovering just over 6 and half stone and despite celebrities happy being a size zero, let me tell you, it looks shite! Have put on 7lbs already and feel a lot better for it.
Right enough waffle. Will leave you with a few pics, including one of Finn with his early birthday present of rollerskates! For the eagled eyed amongst you, you’ll notice Finn has had another haircut. Hey, actually the haircut coincided with the whining going! Maybe he will be like Samson and instead of his strength disappearing, it’s the whinges! Right, where are those bloody clippers???!!!!!! Just must say, much love and massive cuddles to Sam on the birth of Jake. Fab fab news sweetie. Wish I could pop over for a cuddle! xxxxxx
Didn't really realise until I saw this pic, what a massive chin Tippy Toes has!!!
Wibble Wobble Finn
Tilly's new sleeping position, can't really tell from this photo, but she has her arse right in the air and her knees all bent up! Practising her crawling in her sleep!!!
Surfing Finn!

Tilly discovers Cornettos come in small sizes too! Not really sure at 9 months I should be encouraging her love of ice cream but what the heck!

We went to the zoo yesterday and Gabe screamed for half the time. He seems permanently knackered and I think that's a big part of the reason here. It's horrible when they are like that though, just bloody draining.
Can you imagine Tilly and Arlo making babies? Maaaan that would mean some beautiful chins :-)
I feel your pain Sasha. I cannot bear whinging. I almost prefer flat out tantrums!
Wow to being 6 stone something, I was probably about 8 years old when I last weighed that. Well done for putting on 7lbs, thats really good in that short time. I hope you feel a bit happier soon. It's always sad to stop breast feeding. I longed to feed Sonny and it was heart breaking to not be able to. :(
Loving Tills chinny chin chin. She's such a cutie pie !
Can Finn really skate??
Awww honey!!! That does sound like a truly awful week. Am with you on the whingeing. Nic's developed a semi permanent whine in the way she talks which can be grating and is constantly on the verge of tears if you refuse her anything. Glad you've got your Finn back though! He looks amazing on his rollerblades!!! Nic's only just mastering a bike with stabilizers, let alone anything as adventurous as roller blades!!!
Glad to hear you're putting the weight back on again.
Tills looks scrumptious! xx
If its any consolation I haven't stopped sobbing and whining since we left either!
Poor Uncle Owhinn having to put up with me !
Please tell Finn and Tilly that they are not allowed to learn new skills in our absence. Can you ask Finn to please put away his skates until we come back and tell that little Tilly to get back to sitting but not moving. Sankyou.

I Second Uncle Anna's comments !
We miss you all so much, want to come back !

3 Ways to Tell Your Child Wants to Trade in his Parents:-
1) You catch him writing an A and an O with water on the swimming pool wall.
2) We can no longer mention the words Anna or Owen in fromt of our child. Doing this results in odd personality changes. Nor can we spell out A-N-N-A or O-W-E-N as this code has been cracked. Instead currently using U-N-C-L-E-S.
3) Driving pass the airport results in a lengthy discussion on journeys by plane by Anna and Owen.
V annoyed at you two but V love you much much!
PS All the Stockley's concur that it is not the same without you; Mingkus misses the pool with you guys, dadda misses the Tiger's and good company in the evening, mamma misses adult, non-whingy, conversation during the day and chilly just looks at the world through large koala eyes!
I am sitting at my desk crying with laughter at that email Justin. Highly amusing !
Sounds like we need to make a return visit !
Hope all is well
Uncle O.
