What you can do this month..

This last month I have seen you both change so much, this is what you have been getting up to...

Emily you celebrated your 3rd birthday, we had a my little pony birthday party, your nanna and pop surprised you by bringing Mia over for a sleep over, I made you a rainbow layered cake, it was yum. You cried when everyone sang you happy birthday, because I couldn't light the candles as it was too windy. I made you a tee pee as all you want to do is make a tent in the lounge room. You got a massive 14 foot trampoline for your birthday. You keep wishing everyone happy birthday and making Georgia and I birthday cakes out of the most random items, your babushka dolls are a favourite for this. You decided that being 2 was better as you didn't want to give up your milk before bed time and would rather wear your nap naps to bed. We are still negotiating this. You have learnt to put on your pj's yourself, you love helping in the kitchen and learning how to do everything. You made pink milk and a jam sandwich all on your own. You call afternoon tea, "after morning tea".You love talking on your imaginary phone, no matter where you are if you need to talk to someone, you whip it out and chatter away having a conversation and then after you have finished, you put it back in your pocket. It is so cute, your daddy and I love it. When we were last in Perth, Pa tried to teach you how to make a popping sound with your finger in your cheek, one morning you finally did it and was so excited, you had to call him right away. When saying goodbye to your daddy at the bus stop for work, you always cry, the bus driver now even waves and sometimes toots the horn for you. You exclaim all the way home, "that you have lost your daddy!" We had a break through this week, you have finally stopped crying. You also drew your very first stick man of your daddy. We are loving watching you become more independent, just don't grow up too quick.

 

Georgia what a big month it has been for you, you have just turned 7 months old. You can now say mum and bub, and you love making this little noise with your mouth. You are really noticing when I am not in the room and have started putting your arms out for me to pick you up. You have become a little clingy towards me, secretly I love it. Your eyes light up when your sister gives you any attention. You can well and truly sit up all on your own now, you still sometimes topple over when you see something you want. Your daddy has been trying ever so hard to get you crawling and today he succeeded, he was so excited. I was a little sad as it means you are growing up even faster. You had your 6 month old needles this month, a little late due to our holiday, but you had a reaction and with it came temperatures and made you extra cuddly for a few days, you had us worried. I have noticed that I have to feed you where its quiet now otherwise you may bight me or twist your head backwards to see what is going on. You don't like to miss anything. You are loving your food, we are trying lots of new tastes, you love mango, but are not overly keen on watermelon. Everything is going in your mouth, you don't mind what it is. You love the water and become instantly calm when you have a bath or shower, you like to chew on the face washer, although Emily always takes it off you. Your favourite toy is Sophie the giraffe and your organic teething ring. You are all smiles and just love to watch everything that is going on, if only you could learn to sleep a little better, maybe next month.
