The same day, Kai was born, poor Noah came down with chicken pox, he was covered head to toe, of course what Noah has Finley also has to have and two weeks later he came down with them. </div></div><br />Here is a spotty Noah. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimuHoA9W_QUHpa24Px8px1-E84P703ST4vs499xKae26VWHFC4_dX_7kQF0ECtGr9zlL5hqZbrdCpF9b7UlZzltGjtYjhJjCVUuKlD2b6BJqdEXpeo0dNIsFmqdnUuB7sf0Ph96l2EzWU/s1600/IMG_1573.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 239px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5715407522378002306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimuHoA9W_QUHpa24Px8px1-E84P703ST4vs499xKae26VWHFC4_dX_7kQF0ECtGr9zlL5hqZbrdCpF9b7UlZzltGjtYjhJjCVUuKlD2b6BJqdEXpeo0dNIsFmqdnUuB7sf0Ph96l2EzWU/s320/IMG_1573.JPG" /></a>Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-21835234413580630892009-10-13T16:06:00.001+01:002009-10-13T16:10:44.083+01:00Fun at the Park<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIrdjvL6JXtEafb6NPAX4ivisbrN0OxZso_GrDpfq8NliDrc5idqbJYQ5z9Cx2MjnZ_B1Cm-TGEalJVXUzvi5wvgUVq1AaVBtmk2uWFu5bob4eCP5kqig2kaTCRqn-JC2omrG4-Zmww4/s1600-h/CIMG3859.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIrdjvL6JXtEafb6NPAX4ivisbrN0OxZso_GrDpfq8NliDrc5idqbJYQ5z9Cx2MjnZ_B1Cm-TGEalJVXUzvi5wvgUVq1AaVBtmk2uWFu5bob4eCP5kqig2kaTCRqn-JC2omrG4-Zmww4/s320/CIMG3859.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392101992637529186" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh4wO90TdF1KQTmuJIiKpddjYJyVtMaj0I_AWQcDqM8b1edUfJua_om5M9ZRxQTYjv84_to8Mp-2QW2Cn-vT4zoE8jWqGUSLyVJapVHxuQQ5WIsFkKlC5dOgJXrtMhETMevIekhvkvmKI/s1600-h/CIMG3851.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh4wO90TdF1KQTmuJIiKpddjYJyVtMaj0I_AWQcDqM8b1edUfJua_om5M9ZRxQTYjv84_to8Mp-2QW2Cn-vT4zoE8jWqGUSLyVJapVHxuQQ5WIsFkKlC5dOgJXrtMhETMevIekhvkvmKI/s320/CIMG3851.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392101983231826594" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQuSqnBjhyphenhyphenjOEuQSDlP_jFRptMasOu2DgoGRM1WOMqv46mPCOVTHwIEdV5rQWx5kcHNOcoCaj9qlXZcRxvW2GJ2bSR_Zhj1oRs7ULP-Atmvy_r0Mf9LTzkzKaKV63IoGTU1c_9nHF1jiA/s1600-h/CIMG3856.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQuSqnBjhyphenhyphenjOEuQSDlP_jFRptMasOu2DgoGRM1WOMqv46mPCOVTHwIEdV5rQWx5kcHNOcoCaj9qlXZcRxvW2GJ2bSR_Zhj1oRs7ULP-Atmvy_r0Mf9LTzkzKaKV63IoGTU1c_9nHF1jiA/s320/CIMG3856.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392101980254958802" /></a><br />Just thought I would try and upload some of pictures of what we have been doing lately.

I have compiled a montage of the photo's and video's which we took during the two sessions. He had to wear a hat underneath the riding hat as his head is so small, bless. He doesn't appear to be smiling in the photos but believe me he did enjoy it. I also just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to Sophie for arranging it. Thanks Sophie and Noah hopes to see you soon. xx<br /><br /><div><embed src="http://www.onetruemedia.com/share_view_player?p=87d059c5311c05625da07f" quality="high" scale="noscale" width="372" height="344" wmode="transparent" name="FLVPlayer" salign="LT" flashvars="&p=87d059c5311c05625da07f&skin_id=1009&host=http://www.onetruemedia.com" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed><div style="margin:0px;font:12px/13px verdana,arial,sans-serif;line-height:20px;padding-bottom:15px;width:372px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.onetruemedia.com/landing?&utm_source=emplay&utm_medium=txt3" target="_blank" style="text-decoration:none;">Make video montages at <span style="text-decoration:underline;">www.OneTrueMedia.com</span></a></div></div>Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-57275849445262421832009-04-11T23:30:00.010+01:002009-04-12T00:23:58.420+01:00No Free Time<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjczHZ-5SuHSm3rt9KsWYv-UA0PFbKtNN8gIz2lzyqlLdZD7_3N3Mr2v0KRGKpqgj-Azu-vnh0VTXncnbFYWjLwj9AUMuzDWqNveqx44U_hbSESBun2YDBFtOWppXiP6hOk2NT1Ubp2raQ/s1600-h/CIMG2367.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323576535084044354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjczHZ-5SuHSm3rt9KsWYv-UA0PFbKtNN8gIz2lzyqlLdZD7_3N3Mr2v0KRGKpqgj-Azu-vnh0VTXncnbFYWjLwj9AUMuzDWqNveqx44U_hbSESBun2YDBFtOWppXiP6hOk2NT1Ubp2raQ/s320/CIMG2367.JPG" border="0" /></a>Right it has only taken me about two months to try and get this post out, and I am getting pestered by my mother to update the blog.

Noah's proposed statement has come through and we are in the process of negotiating with SENAS as they failed to include any of what the Speech and Language therapist included in her report. Why do SENAS try to include as little as possible and see whether they can get away with it. Having a child with special needs shouldn't mean that we have to fight with authorities all of the way through their lives. First I had to fight with the DLA to get high rate for Noah and now this...... It can become very disheartening when everything is such a battle.<br /><br /><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3TmQj1iL0r2CAJ-fU3YOKy4I1F3-E6zXo7jhU6rDAqi7W3papCOeAK73mu7UEVn7jmVX5oBkDnZMVT4kum7TsfL5K8_r73XP27B1pUiNAmXUerRYfkYbavhxL9BDUJfZ1vmqbfcbA9a8/s1600-h/CIMG2333.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323574382121231634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 232px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3TmQj1iL0r2CAJ-fU3YOKy4I1F3-E6zXo7jhU6rDAqi7W3papCOeAK73mu7UEVn7jmVX5oBkDnZMVT4kum7TsfL5K8_r73XP27B1pUiNAmXUerRYfkYbavhxL9BDUJfZ1vmqbfcbA9a8/s320/CIMG2333.JPG" border="0" /></a>We have been taking Noah horse riding. Sophie my cousin has a horse and helps out at the stables every weekend. So we took Noah over to have a ride on her old horse Shadow. Shadow is a gentle horse. The first time we took Noah he sat on Shadow and clung to Jo my sister, he wouldn't hold on or stroke Shadow.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh0zsGoZAvS20fi96bAuyB3KXVM6-bHUDifLlr63l3POvBU4t9x-Ab5mQLn-CxuBu2525TOGtscpTa7pxR6VCiXTkczCuxC6unf3QQ8bn27HaB6qt8Fv0iAsbE40skLJf9zDi7QVu11EE/s1600-h/CIMG2355.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323574376468943618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 250px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh0zsGoZAvS20fi96bAuyB3KXVM6-bHUDifLlr63l3POvBU4t9x-Ab5mQLn-CxuBu2525TOGtscpTa7pxR6VCiXTkczCuxC6unf3QQ8bn27HaB6qt8Fv0iAsbE40skLJf9zDi7QVu11EE/s320/CIMG2355.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />The second time he sat on Shadow and held on to the saddle hold and he stroked Shadow, you could see he was more confident.

He actually came first out of the kids go Noah.<br /><br />We had a hospital appointment last month for Noah at the ENT department. His hearing was down a lot and they have suggested that Noah is fitted with a BAHA which stands for a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone%20Anchored%20Hearing%20Aid">Bone Anchored Hearing Aid.<br /></a><br />If we go ahead with this, which we will make our final decision on Thursday when we have another appointment, for further tests. Noah will have to have two operations. I will go into more detail once we have made our decision.<br /><br />Right it is now 12.20 am and Im off to bed Happy Easter everyone and I will post more photos soon.<br /><br />I will leave you with my cheeky little man........</div><div> </div><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrVCbo4t5IiYq9MmWMcXhpSe-IQQFVpIY9l42KRoWzzDTLk9k6rGFbiYwoCvHoTN1aPJou2Swc2BsuqY-LESYj_sqkxhBymreHE52Bmhhs0O3tBIMomUZ0laS2d7n7gcfpckQ74kuIhgw/s1600-h/CIMG2410.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323571234602188226" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrVCbo4t5IiYq9MmWMcXhpSe-IQQFVpIY9l42KRoWzzDTLk9k6rGFbiYwoCvHoTN1aPJou2Swc2BsuqY-LESYj_sqkxhBymreHE52Bmhhs0O3tBIMomUZ0laS2d7n7gcfpckQ74kuIhgw/s320/CIMG2410.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-54652349843445794432009-02-24T21:42:00.011+00:002009-02-24T22:08:39.343+00:00Update on NoahWell it has been some time now since I updated you on how Noah is doing. He was being a bit of a handful but I think it could have been because of the constipation he has been suffering with. We saw his paediatrician and she prescribed <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Pead</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Movacol</span>. It seems to be easing his pain but it will probably take a while for it to start working.<br /><br />Things I have noticed in the last few weeks that Noah has done that make me laugh. When I kiss Noah I make a noise, I put my lips together and it sounds like a MM. I was watching Noah kissing Finley the other week and he was saying PP. I couldn't make out why he was making this noise until it dawned on me he was copying what I do.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLGTcWU83-ET3QAPHYVHsCc1oc7J86vGaZJTOAmoFF4DkEbWbSdmH_TbGUojC0ixhBmoql4TXRZyjcMQxHCy2ltJDXiOUoZ_By4YEPTevJqkboxvdlyH_loyDzhgGGrYCArmwLBwPSO8/s1600-h/CIMG2215.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306479656970804802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxLGTcWU83-ET3QAPHYVHsCc1oc7J86vGaZJTOAmoFF4DkEbWbSdmH_TbGUojC0ixhBmoql4TXRZyjcMQxHCy2ltJDXiOUoZ_By4YEPTevJqkboxvdlyH_loyDzhgGGrYCArmwLBwPSO8/s320/CIMG2215.JPG" border="0" /></a> The snow, Noah loved the snow, I was able to pull him around on a sledge which was attached to the pushchair with Finley in it.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBX8Tb5ePweXRNZcldWg6mCp57Pnoj9IJEf9zMo6jtRiOlV8mZgK7OE3vn9q_hosFgVO8NE8SW7uG__UI_wHSZfsL1sBW7rnOn-RdwZkAnq204pqYK2WLdrqfs-D4su3rf5vZWppxB_mE/s1600-h/CIMG2239+change.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306485443136965042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 271px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBX8Tb5ePweXRNZcldWg6mCp57Pnoj9IJEf9zMo6jtRiOlV8mZgK7OE3vn9q_hosFgVO8NE8SW7uG__UI_wHSZfsL1sBW7rnOn-RdwZkAnq204pqYK2WLdrqfs-D4su3rf5vZWppxB_mE/s320/CIMG2239+change.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZwYaxB4kVJ6rqkCh803Zrb1nPdrHSzzC7LmlXyx7x6zKhqy_tB86ZUi0Hl7x-1f2OvzvRxmQVbe1gbddSFRzFlrQh64DQrSCE-NJfntVCuxTLEMf4NDqyfgMrPNoxf28iMzzo0Vtn6g/s1600-h/CIMG2244+change.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306485444113604914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 274px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigZwYaxB4kVJ6rqkCh803Zrb1nPdrHSzzC7LmlXyx7x6zKhqy_tB86ZUi0Hl7x-1f2OvzvRxmQVbe1gbddSFRzFlrQh64DQrSCE-NJfntVCuxTLEMf4NDqyfgMrPNoxf28iMzzo0Vtn6g/s320/CIMG2244+change.jpg" border="0" /></a> I gave Finley a bath at mum a few weeks ago and put him in a floating ring, obviously I was holding him at the same time but it just gave him some support.

We had Finley's Christening a couple of weeks ago it was a very hectic but lovely day. Finley behaved himself and so did Noah. They both looked lovely, Noah had a shirt and a tie on. I will post photos when I find the time to download them from the camera. <br /><br />Life is really hectic at the moment, Noah is being hard work. <br /><br />Being a parent is the most rewarding job in the world, however it is also the hardest job in the world. I am extremely grateful for Noah and Finley, and for those who know me will appreciate exactly how grateful I am as we haven’t had an easy ride through life. Being a parent certainly has its moments and is very trying at times. When Noah was 6 weeks old he started to sleep through the night. Up until he was around 1 ½ he would sleep through the night with the occasional get up’s through the night (him waking up and crying). From then on he became a nightmare sleeper. I would try to put him to bed at around 7.30pm but he wouldn’t settle until around 11 -12 then he would wake up during the night. <br /><br />It all changed again during the summer holidays, he now goes to sleep at around 7.30pm and wakes during the night crying and sometimes screaming. He suffers with really bad constipation, which he is on lactalus and senacot for. But it seems to be a viscous circle, he will not drink a lot and then he goes through stages of not eating, because he is obviously bunged up. <br /><br />It wasn’t as bad before Finley as I would only be getting up to one child but now between both of them I seem to be getting hardly any sleep at all. I never complained about this previously only obviously to his paediatrician who didn’t say much. But now that he is waking up screaming, in pain I am worried that there could be something else wrong. I took him to the doctors with him before Christmas. I saw his Paediatrician today and she has now put him on movacol.<br /><br />To be honest I am exhausted. It’s hard to function when you only get a few hours of sleep a night. It’s especially tiring when you have done it on the trot for about 4 days. That’s when I completely go to pot, I sometimes feel like I’m walking around like a zombie. <br /><br />As for the house well I found this poem and it cheered me up. <br /><br />My house may not be tidy,<br />My pots maybe piled up high,<br />My windows may not be gleaming,<br />With a sparkle or a shine.<br /><br />I may get behind with the washing,<br />The drying may still be wet,<br />There may be dust on the shelves,<br />Cos I havent polished yet.<br /><br />But one thing my house isnt short of,<br />Is happiness and love,<br />And to me that is more important, <br />Than any of the above.<br /><br />Well thats all for now folks, I now have to look into nursery's for Noah.Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-768317894895614462009-01-09T21:56:00.013+00:002009-01-09T22:25:57.101+00:00Finley - 4 Months Old<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwEivBDF0daHBWxcID0_I_Lxgf2x03yZguijxQwaiN5GFqE4RMiCKPbAbQLQwjbccd_Qw8q0zyPokXVrzdW3eC6udOCKSoe-s5LF63hl-HidKbubspcN0Nt21y8vueyIv1xkPaWqwL4wo/s1600-h/CIMG1907.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5289418466199436978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwEivBDF0daHBWxcID0_I_Lxgf2x03yZguijxQwaiN5GFqE4RMiCKPbAbQLQwjbccd_Qw8q0zyPokXVrzdW3eC6udOCKSoe-s5LF63hl-HidKbubspcN0Nt21y8vueyIv1xkPaWqwL4wo/s320/CIMG1907.JPG" border="0" /></a> Finley is 4 months old today.<br />Time is flying by, it seems like just yesterday that I was waiting to have him.

Time is going so quickly Finley is growing and changing every day. I see him looking over at his big brother and querying what he is up to. He follows him with his eyes all over the place. </div><br />On Wednesday he weighed 14lbs 7 ozs, he has dropped towards the 75% centile but that isn't surprising being as he hasn't been well for the past two - three weeks, he had his first lot of antibiotics because he was starting to develop a chest infection. He is 63 cms in length so he is probably going to be tall like his dad.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ngXC0fKnZAj7XLo1qO2Q2UeDTZUMxvZCgdWoHAS0cyO6QVIT-7zhgutd2e0fa6TXBKgUzqP2wbULDErklQtGK372AAKRPoJse028_L5F_3t9FAfBhKRCMTdQLCZo0Jb4xNFcwayCuN4/s1600-h/CIMG1751.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279045791528353250" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 263px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-ngXC0fKnZAj7XLo1qO2Q2UeDTZUMxvZCgdWoHAS0cyO6QVIT-7zhgutd2e0fa6TXBKgUzqP2wbULDErklQtGK372AAKRPoJse028_L5F_3t9FAfBhKRCMTdQLCZo0Jb4xNFcwayCuN4/s320/CIMG1751.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />He sucks on his hand and there have only been a few occasions I have needed to give him a dummy mainly to help him get his wind up as he is still suffering from colic.

He is able to sit up and hold his head up very well. He will sleep through most of the night and wake up for one feed. He is starting to smile a lot more just like his brother does. He likes attention. He has got his second lot of injections next week which should be fun as he is becoming aware of things around him so I'm sure there will be a few tears.<br /><br />He uggles and makes loads of noises and I'm sure on a few occasions he has said mammmm to get my attention.<br /><br />It's hard work being a parent of two children and I admire anyone who has more than two but I am starting to get more organised and feel a lot more confident in taking two of them out. Its hard juggling a pushchair.<br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Another Comparison</strong><br /><br /><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVIRXmIbthG6KqiaYkl9EeSCOaUM-ckjwopzMIGB_sSiNK0Bt89u2MwyClZmYbmcOj-ve38S7CGZpFLmG0nkDVjyvj30urlrKX3xFTzDu6_fPP69ubzxr4CWaI04rm14Lja0thKg7Jlg/s1600-h/CIMG1704.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279044075776129234" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 186px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEVIRXmIbthG6KqiaYkl9EeSCOaUM-ckjwopzMIGB_sSiNK0Bt89u2MwyClZmYbmcOj-ve38S7CGZpFLmG0nkDVjyvj30urlrKX3xFTzDu6_fPP69ubzxr4CWaI04rm14Lja0thKg7Jlg/s320/CIMG1704.JPG" border="0" /></a> Finley 11 weeks<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrgXEH6X7a0QzWgdHJYmzLVBwLILkGxk1rrc91HYTKsTRafdRXfeu7i7DIqYGASEPQQPzbBHX57774Vvu3AOKUzov47ujCZTwx1Sdblrjg1_3pJAMplBuQIFGHnXXaqvPJRg3gPTy7kMw/s1600-h/DSCN0449.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279043249202335570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 239px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrgXEH6X7a0QzWgdHJYmzLVBwLILkGxk1rrc91HYTKsTRafdRXfeu7i7DIqYGASEPQQPzbBHX57774Vvu3AOKUzov47ujCZTwx1Sdblrjg1_3pJAMplBuQIFGHnXXaqvPJRg3gPTy7kMw/s320/DSCN0449.JPG" /></a></div></div></div><p align="center">Noah 4 weeks old</p><p align="center"> </p><p align="center"> </p><br /><br /><!-- Site Meter --><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s11.sitemeter.com/js/counter.js?site=s11siobhantu"><br /></script><br /><noscript><br /><a href="http://s11.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=s11siobhantu" target="_top"><br /><img src="http://s11.sitemeter.com/meter.asp?site=s11siobhantu" alt="Site Meter" border="0"/></a><br /></noscript><br /><!-- Copyright (c)2006 Site Meter -->Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-28858934329924051322008-12-08T22:29:00.003+00:002008-12-08T22:36:35.412+00:00HolidayJust a quickie, We have returned today from a long weekend away, in Ashbourne Derbyshire. It was nice to get away but I cant say it was relaxing, Noah was a little monkey and Finley cried a lot. They are still under the weather with colds and therefore we couldn't take them swimming so spent a lot of the time in the lodge. I will be updating photos when I get chance but obviously with Christmas approaching I'm not getting any time to update the blog as trying to prepare for Christmas. Once the holidays are over I am sure I will get back to letting everyone know what Noah is up to.Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-72047305135684319812008-12-01T16:44:00.002+00:002008-12-01T16:51:10.542+00:00SickI haven't managed to post lately as the little ones haven't been well. I think its just the cold weather they are both on antibiotics bless them, Finley started to get very chesty and therefore the doctor thought it would be best to put both Finley and Noah on antibiotics so they wouldn't pass it from one to another. As Noah was the one that passed it to Finley. So really we haven't been up to much. Will hopefully post some recent pictures soon.Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-90254358148181858362008-11-25T18:34:00.005+00:002008-11-25T19:30:02.570+00:00BBC News Article - Many keeping babies with Down'sThere was an article on the BBC website yesterday that more people are keeping babies that have down's syndrome, despite the introduction of pre-natal testing. Take a look <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7741411.stm">HERE</a>. I think this is because down's syndrome is accepted more in society now than it ever has been. <br /><br />There is another <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7738262.stm">article </a>about a lady her baby was diagnosed with having down's syndrome. <br />I have previously written about our own experience of been given a high risk of down's syndrome, <a href="http://noahssmile.blogspot.com/2007/11/diagnosis-of-down-syndrome.html">take a look.</a><br /><br /><!-- Site Meter --><br /><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s11.sitemeter.com/js/counter.js?site=s11siobhantu"><br /></script><br /><noscript><br /><a href="http://s11.sitemeter.com/stats.asp?site=s11siobhantu" target="_top"><br /><img src="http://s11.sitemeter.com/meter.asp?site=s11siobhantu" alt="Site Meter" border="0"/></a><br /></noscript><br /><!-- Copyright (c)2006 Site Meter -->Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-28995463731354595162008-11-19T20:12:00.003+00:002008-12-13T22:42:38.284+00:00Wordless Wednesday<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiebRnwSvcK22TjlLUE1YTeemERrZA2NrK6lO4IygvZbRUlU29yGR3IfHYEJxNuFcPIVgdeKAGxVqhODeVYG6UMAxjkic3FQ6m3pRT09Wp7qN7HcqB4Rlpwuy1zfPw-UCpQlQ_YrLCooFg/s1600-h/CIMG1607.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiebRnwSvcK22TjlLUE1YTeemERrZA2NrK6lO4IygvZbRUlU29yGR3IfHYEJxNuFcPIVgdeKAGxVqhODeVYG6UMAxjkic3FQ6m3pRT09Wp7qN7HcqB4Rlpwuy1zfPw-UCpQlQ_YrLCooFg/s320/CIMG1607.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5270464336456527154" border="0" /></a>Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-55809940957940061632008-11-18T11:17:00.011+00:002008-12-13T23:20:35.964+00:00Happy 3rd Birthday Noah<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnY4GPiGkgaIL4Dns2dXDqvsRZLC-sqU0Y33ueug_t68nLO-7sXtik3zq5lcmUjMeYmpFEyu_FWtIiCRb60-R1a3HOMjWwlFlG230_gZsJ0dxGzOsCTX8xtVcToxXFT0vRT-xDAAVc24/s1600-h/CIMG0568+-+1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrnY4GPiGkgaIL4Dns2dXDqvsRZLC-sqU0Y33ueug_t68nLO-7sXtik3zq5lcmUjMeYmpFEyu_FWtIiCRb60-R1a3HOMjWwlFlG230_gZsJ0dxGzOsCTX8xtVcToxXFT0vRT-xDAAVc24/s320/CIMG0568+-+1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269997202354826194" border="0" /></a><br />I cant believe my little munchkin is growing up so fast. 3 years ago today we met you for the first time and this is an experience we will not forget. You are so very special to us and everyday you make us smile for one reason or another, whether it is your cheeky grin, the love you have for your brother, when you are trying to help us up making a straining noise but not putting any effort into helping us up or just being there.<br /><br />How much you have grown in this last year. By this I don't mean up in fact you have only grown 5 cms over this period however small is beautiful after all. So you now weigh 26lb 8 oz and you are 83cm in height.<br /><br />During your 3rd year you started at Green Lane nursery, we had a few weeks of tears from both mummy and Noah as we had not been separated for any long period of time before. However after two weeks you were travelling to nursery on the bus and you couldn't wait to get on and waive good bye to us in fact some days you didn't bother waiving at all you just wanted to go. And I couldn't wait for you to be dropped off by the bus as I missed you so much. You loved all of the kind ladies there that played with you. You loved playing with the farm, singing songs and swimming.<br /><br />You continued to practise your walking which you had accomplished in your second year and this then turned into running and then we couldn't stop you.<br /><br />Dec 07 You were in the Birmingham Mail for the first time, but not the last.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4IcwxyFBuSW70jOX2crc4wLHJoGF9MqbryWLim61q78FfJNhoNde1FlFWpUFcbE7DqjQWXfTlTWUVIHC9haUeUr876C6cH0zj0q6byNgeugd6tNhFXBUSnkPx9zgxNF3VhmItcTofZAQ/s1600-h/CIMG0587.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4IcwxyFBuSW70jOX2crc4wLHJoGF9MqbryWLim61q78FfJNhoNde1FlFWpUFcbE7DqjQWXfTlTWUVIHC9haUeUr876C6cH0zj0q6byNgeugd6tNhFXBUSnkPx9zgxNF3VhmItcTofZAQ/s320/CIMG0587.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269997485983974626" border="0" /></a><br />Feb 08 You breastfed for the last time, which you decided you didn't need it anymore from your mummy you had become independent.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6ZqwqxrPRqhtGsADeT21e2nDudROV4p9oLYyXmX5WU3t7D76-TLLGU01VxKOA_QnYBGAMy-BC7wUOcl5snb2vafVs8jXWCxKD7N1rlRf8kya-SInIhMrpGSq5XtxEV8iAOiR8OCwFn4/s1600-h/CIMG0661.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid6ZqwqxrPRqhtGsADeT21e2nDudROV4p9oLYyXmX5WU3t7D76-TLLGU01VxKOA_QnYBGAMy-BC7wUOcl5snb2vafVs8jXWCxKD7N1rlRf8kya-SInIhMrpGSq5XtxEV8iAOiR8OCwFn4/s320/CIMG0661.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269998292204831442" border="0" /></a><br />March 08 We all went to Devon on holiday, mummy, daddy, noah, nanny, Uncle John and Matt and Aunty Jo and Cate.<br /><br />April 08 You moved into your own bed<br /><br />Between this time you had your first ever stop over at Nanny's house all on your own while mummy and daddy went off to London for the weekend.<br /><br />June 08 You participated in a Sponsored Walk in Down Syndrome Awareness Week.<br /><br />July 08 You celebrated mummy's 30th Birthday.

He is doing well and this is all thanks to everyone of you.<br /><br />Also if you are reading this blog then thank you for supporting me, I hope that you all enjoy it and please post comments if you wish as it would be nice to hear from anyone that reads Noah's Smile.<br /><br />Aims for Noah's 4th year well I hope that you become potty trained and are out of nappy's. Although you use the potty and have done since you were 6 month old you haven't managed to tell me you need the potty.<br />You manage to start using a knife and fork and feed yourself.<br />The most important aim I wish for you Noah is that you continue being happy.Siobhan Marie Tullyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14271985446649663720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590630266733219078.post-53939987235097475422008-11-09T21:23:00.005+00:002008-11-09T22:06:46.848+00:00BonFire Night, Pedro Boots<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglaOETA1OdyLLgBaoaocyI1kMiCMPhk10zS5o0Rfd193RkMoEOsIkhLSft3o4lo9bkgFAI1m2fS53QKM1l6VhIAqEW3Een69-GM4FwCadNZa0CxR3bh7Il7ncq_qmHKSDQYMcSCS4-c3E/s1600-h/CIMG1528.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglaOETA1OdyLLgBaoaocyI1kMiCMPhk10zS5o0Rfd193RkMoEOsIkhLSft3o4lo9bkgFAI1m2fS53QKM1l6VhIAqEW3Een69-GM4FwCadNZa0CxR3bh7Il7ncq_qmHKSDQYMcSCS4-c3E/s320/CIMG1528.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266780861401862722" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Noah with his new pedro boots</span><br /></div><br />Noah had his new Pedro Boots delivered and they are great, although very difficult to get on as they are so stiff.
