Wow! It's been 4 months or so, I've been neglecting the poor blog! I hardly know where to start!Abby is crawling all over the place now, cruising around the furniture and has just cut her third tooth, with a few nights of much moaning and groaning, unfortunately! She is just starting to eat regularly, she's had rice, potato, pumpkin, carrot, broccoli, gluten free bread, and various other things. She didn't like purees very much so we pretty much skipped them and she just feeds 
herself from the highchair tray...dinner is much more relaxed now she's occupied! We are still going strong with the breastfeeding though, it was so much more convenient travelling recently than having to carry bottles and formula. We visited Grandma and Gra-Gra and all the family in Canberra, after a weekend stop in Sydney for me to attend a Coeliac Society function, as I'm the contact person for the area. It was a great event, lots of gluten free food everywhere, but the girls had their first bout of gastro, Abby on the Friday night, Hannah on Sunday at Mum and Dad's. It wasn't fun but it also wasn't one of the week-long chucking bugs I've heard about!

Hannah has had her 4th birthday which was very exciting for all concerned! We had a nice get together in the park on the actual day, and one of the parents works for the local paper and is a photographer, so we got a group shot published :) Between Grandma and Mummy's wrapping efforts, she had a monster pile of presents to open on the morning of the big day, and Abby was fascinated with the process, then with the wrapping paper LOL! Hannah is growing in confidence in a lot of areas, she spent a lot of time with her grandparents while we were away without any dramas, which is very nice, as 2 years ago she was not separating from her parents very well...nice to see our committment to gentle parenting bearing fruit! She is happy to be home on the farm, and Abby goes nuts every time 
Daddy leaves the house without her, she has missed him terribly! Here's a picture Hannah drew on her magnadoodle toy which is great for in the car, it is a horse surrounded by flowers. She has suddenly shot ahead with her drawing, she seemed to go from scribbling to drawing people complete with necks, fingers and eyes with pupils overnight!

Ciao!
