Rock and Roll!

Hi everyone :) Yesterday we took the girls to the creek and scampered about there for a while, enjoying the warm sun and cool water, climbing on the rocks and feeling the sand between our toes. Abby seemed to enjoy having her toes dabbled in the water, despite the look of grim concentration while it was happening! She is still getting used to the bright light of outside I think. The other part of the title is roll - which is exactly what she is doing now! She can quite easily roll from her back to her front, not quite so good at turning back over when she's tired though :) She is making serious attempts at getting mobile already, it's making my hair stand on end, the thought of having a mobile baby within a month LOL! Hoping she takes a little longer than that ;)

You'll find a picture of some craft that Hannah and I made on Friday at the end of this post, we had a lot of fun making a zoo :) She cut out the baby animals by herself and did quite well, only the giraffe got cut in half, and only the joey lost his head ROFL! The matchsticks are fences and the glitter is the path.



I went to a fundraising lunch for our ABA group today, it was a fun afternoon and I had a nice time chatting with several mum's who had the same midwife attend their homebirths as I had. I wore my new top, and I'll upload a photo of it, although we didn't get to it until tonight so my hair is all messed up and the light isn't good :) Abby had a lovely time watching all the new faces or sleeping in the Ergo carrier, but by the time we got home she was very keen to just 'kick back', literally, she spent the first hour rolling around on the floor with her nappy off. She was also very keen to see Daddy. When he came in she was just about ready to sleep but she stayed awake for half an hour to talk to him before dropping off...4 hours later she is still asleep and looks to be settled for the night! Now the challenge will be to get a night nappy on her without waking her too much when she wakes to feed LOL!





I don't have too much more to add...I asked Kim if he had any particular news to share but he couldn't think of anything LOL. He has been spending a fair bit of time arranging Diana's 21st birthday and also a weekend away in April around his birthday, as he has been asked to work the long weekend, which is usual, there is always a big job with the cattle those holidays that must be done while the owner is visiting and there are extra hands on duty!





Much love to all,


Shalom!
