Water at South Bank

Today my darling, we caught the train in to the city with Francis and Cooper. You drinking from a teeny water bottle at lunch which was pretty cute....however silly mummy didn't think to take the seal off so you weren't really drinking much at all, haha whoops!
You had your first play in the water at South Bank, and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to take you back there.

Busy Busy Busy

Busy, busy busy is what we have been. We had a wonderful family trip to Sydney were we celebrated Daddy's birthday as well as Aunty Nicolas 30th party. It was so lovely spending time with family and seeing Sydney for the first time, love, love loved it! The day after we arrived home from Sydney Baby bear and I flew off once again to New Zealand for Opa's 80th party. Two weeks )of family and friend filled fun) later, we came home (SICK!!!) to one Nicole and one wee Madisyn who stayed with us for a week. The day they left, one Francis and one wee Cooper arrived, that night we celebrated Grandaddy's birthday and here we are, still busy! I will post a few pictures of our travels soon, in between two babies, a Francis, some editing and spending some much needed time with my darling xxx

Nine Months

Holy smokes kid, you are nine months already! Nine months in, nine months out.
So much has changed in a month! I thought you were busy last month, by George I really had no clue!

You CRAWL
You CRAWL
You CRAWL
You can now go from lying down to sitting, crawling and standing by yourself
You now have four teeth. Two on top to match the two below.
You get in to cupboards and drawers (occasionally jamming those delicious fingers)
You hunt through our things and simply chuck whatever doesn't interest you, over your shoulder
You leave a trail of chaos behind you
You pull yourself up on everything
You get so excited about bath time, you pull yourself up on it, eagerly awaiting your dip
You love pulling out tissues and ripping them into hundreds of tiny pieces
Any spec of dirt of the floor, you want in your mouth
If I ask you not to go near or do something you crawl even faster, while making excited noises trying to make it happen before I can catch you.
You are a cheeky little monkey!
We have been on a family trip to Sydney
You laughed during turbulence on the plane
You currently absolutely loathe getting dressed, out of the bath and those horrid nappy changes
You have had a spotty rash tip to toe
You like animals and don't mind a good old lick to the face/eyeball
You went on your first merry go round with your wee friend Cooper
You have attended your Aunty Nicola's 30th in Sydney and your Opa's 80th in NZ
You pulled your babcias teeth right out of her mouth
Apparently Hi-fives are hilarious!
It has been said you look a little like Boo from Monsters Inc

On our NZ trip, I woke up in the middle of the night, to find you sitting in your cot just staring at me!

You can shake things, put your arms up, bang and dance

You my darling little cheeky baby are wonderful, I love you so much! You light up my life, everyday! Everyday is more special and more beautiful just because you are in it and I know your Daddy feels exactly the same way =) 

Crawler

A little somebody crawled a little for the very first time yesterday! By golly, I was so proud and excited and Charli just wanted to get to my phone. Kids will do anything for the latest technology.

16th September 2013 - Eight Months Old

Baby you are now eight months old. It seems I have barely blinked and another month has just flown by.  You are four months away from a year and it has been eight fleeting months since your beautiful birth. Oh how you have changed since then!

You are busy busy busy

You roll and roll and roll

You can pull yourself up to a stand (and think this is the best thing ever)

You go from sitting to all fours

You go from all fours to a rock...or a face plant

You are trying so darn hard to move, It's incredibly frustrating

Your hair has grown so much, you can now sport pigtails

You like to shake your head, grinning the entire time

We have moved house

You are very vocal

You have gotten so good at eating, I am VERY impressed!

You pinch, you scratch and you pull my boob toward your mouth like a hamburger (OUCH)

We look at you constantly in amazement. We made you and you are gorgeous

You like power cords and measuring spoons

We have done a baby first aid course together

You walk while I hold your hands

You love bath time, and hate the end of it

You have started having some good naps during the day

You move around with a combination of sitting and rolling and body dragging

You give yourself tummy time...and still end up getting grumpy

You slap the highchair when you want more food

You poke Daddy's eyes, pull his beard and grab his nose (He LOVES it)

When ever Daddy comes home you laugh at him

You have tried a lemon, it made us laugh a lot... We really do love you very much!

You push food off the highchair when you are done with it

You have little baby tantrums and wave your arms in the air

You seem to warm to ladies a lot quicker then men

You have mastered the pincer grip

We have morning snuggles in bed, everyday. The best way to start the day =)

I love watching you grow my darling, but it is happening so quickly. Your'll be moving mountains in no time. 

I can't wait for our moments to come, we love you to the moon and back wee one. 

12th September 2013

Who's keen to take a baby to dream world, twice in one week?
We are, and it was awesome! Charli had a blast watching thrill seekers get thrown around the air (in slightly rusted contraptions), posed for some photos, and ate some 'snuck in' lunch...twice.
Even with two days of wonderful tummy in throat feeling fun, we still didn't mange to get through everything. We now require more visitors for another adventure please =)

Movement

Well, we have officially moved! I can certainly confirm that having a Charli makes relocating a little different! We love our new home and did majorirty of our nesting on Friday. Now Charli and I are slowly getting those boxes of unimportant 'things' distributed throughout the house once more. Little bear really worked hard herself during the move, teaching herself how to roll and roll and roll and pull herself to a stand! Oh boy, I need eyes at the back of my head and she isn't even crawling just yet!
