January

Well I cant believe that January is over already. We have had a crazy start to the year. We spent Christmas in Exmouth with Pa and Ga, came home for new years, then the girls and I flew to Perth, Ryan joined us a few days later. We went to Wendy and Tony's wedding, with Georgia. Ryan flew home, we stayed on, went to Dunsborough for a week to visit Jas. Stayed an extra few days with Ga and Pa and then flew home to Tom Price. Where we still haven't stopped, I have sixteen horses on order that I am trying to sew. We have painted the girls room and moved them in to the back room, so that I have a sewing room. Trying to get our vegie gardens up and running...... its just go go go.

We are loving our time here as a family and just enjoying living in the moment.

Georgia you will be 11 months this month, who knows where all that time has gone. You are just starting to try and walk, anything you can push around you do, slowly toddling behind. I don't think it will be long, till you are taking those first steps on your own. For Christmas you received a little car and it is one of your favourite things at the moment. Emily loves to push you around the house and you squeal with delight. You are starting to say a few more words, Bon Bon, Ta which sounds more like Ba, you love to hand things to us, when we say Ta. You love to give kisses, big sloppy ones and you always have a huge smile for us all. Sleeping is still not your favourite thing, but we are getting there slowly. You have just cut your 8th tooth and sadly every time you do, you seem to get croup. Which is horrible to see, but still you always smile for me and love big cuddles.

 

Emily you will be 40 months this month, you are becoming quite a big girl. Just before we went to Perth you told me you didn't want to wear nap naps to bed anymore just knick knicks. As well as giving up your bot bot and just having a cup of milk before bed. Well to say your Dad and I were shocked is an understatement. We had been trying to get you to give up your bottle for months, but you wouldn't budge. You would get so upset that we would just let you carry on and then you did it, all on your own, we are so proud.

While we were away you loved being at your Ga and Pa's and would always snuggle up with your Pa on the couch before bed and share his yoghurt. You would run and tell him that he had to have a cold shower as you had used all the hot water, when he got home from work and then run away giggling. 

You start three year olds, next month which is just two hours once a week and you are so excited, I am going to be a little sad, but only for the thought that you are growing up so quickly, I am so excited for you and I promise to be brave on the day.
