JUST SOME PICS...

I'm feeling a little lazy this evening and can't quite believe it's blog time again already... So I am taking the easy way out and uploading a photo or two..

In the last week we have commenced baby proofing the house in anticipation of the little one starting to move herself around the place. This has included a fluffy new rug for the lounge room and a nice big basket to collect the mass of toys we are starting to collect.

Dad managed to find another use for the basket...

"Isn't this hilarious?"

"Ta-da!"


And I received a surprise on Monday, with the little Miss having rolled onto her tummy while I was in the kitchen. When I found her she was playing away quite happily - as though she had been doing it for years!

Busted...

"What's the big deal Mum?"



"I'm so very clever aren't I?"

Another important purchase this week was a highchair - and thank you to all my lovely friends who recommended the Ikea chair - it is perfect (especially for a cleaning Nazi like myself)!

She absolutely loves being in there, and is now enjoying three solid meals a day.

I am becoming quite the baby food chef... Or should that be connoisseur - Kaitlyn's current favourite is chickpea, carrot and sweet potato - perhaps a little Vegetarian in our midst?? (I'm sure Nan and Pop Parmenter would be pleased as punch). While I prefer spinach, potato and pea. And for dessert? It's apricot and pear, (we have consensus here).

I had a big bad-mother moment this week, with Kaitlyn falling over on her side while sitting up, through which she ended up hitting her head on her walker. There were some serious tears (and Kaitlyn was quite upset too), so I am never taking away the pillows from around her ever again - too traumatic for the both of us.

Still, seeing her sitting up is exceptional - she is little Miss Independent…

And often engrossed by the tv - this week it's "In the Night Garden."

"Upsy Daisy is so funny Mum"

"But not as funny as you"

Next week – Kaitlyn’s first swimming lesson!
