Sleeping Lulu

Lucy 4 months

 Miss Lucy is now 4 months old.

She is such an inquisitive little girl, always watching us and following us all with her eyes. She seems to take everything in.  She loves to be read to which I have only just started doing.  She has the biggest gummiest grin, and when she flashes that smile it makes the sleepless nights all worthwhile.  She is actually sleeping pretty well, she seems to sleep 12 hours for 3 or 4 nights then for the next few nights will wake at 3.

She gurgles and goo's and gaa's and giggles.  The other day at her 4 month injections the nurse was trying to administer the oral medication (part of the immunization) and she had trouble giving it to her and she was giggling so much it kept coming out. Poor little munchkin had no idea what was coming next - I swear she would have sworn at me if she had of know the words!

Around the house

 I have been reminded by more than one person that it has been a while between posts! lets just say, life if a little busy here at the moment. Between 3 days of school for Holly (30min drive each way), swimming, gymnastics trial, kindy and a little baby who seems to live in the car, we don't stop. Oh and did I mention we are renovating a house we just bought???

Any way, there are some snaps from my phone, the camera hasn't had much love lately, but I promise to get it out over the coming weeks.

Holly and Harry baking some cupcakes all by themselves last week.

 Ta-Da!

 Luce had a lovely time lying on a blanket with no pants on the other day while we replanted the vege patch.

Face painting at the Knox Festival

 On Sunday we ventured off to the Knox Festival, we were lucky enough to dodge the rain, and we ended up staying all afternoon.  Holly and Harry had their faces painted - Harry wanted to be a cat but came out with this gorgeous dog face!!! He looked so funny!  I think his cheeky little personality made it all the more funnier!

On a side note, Harry loves going to kindy, he has quite a few friends down there too, the lastest name that we hear all the time is Velvet. Except Harry can't pronounce it properly and calls her Belbet! Its way too cute. Yesterday Holly and I had a girls day and we went down to pick him up, Harry ran up and grabbed Hollys hand and said "Hollly this is Belvet, and Belvet this is Holly!" WAY too cute and I could have just crushed all three of the with love!

Holly has mastered - NO TRAINING WHEELS!!!

 A few weeks ago Hol asked us to take off her training wheels, she was so determind to ride that bike by herself.  She went outside just about everyday and tried and tried and then last week, it just clicked! It was so funny, she caught herself riding alone after about 2 laps of the deck and started laughing and cheering "I'M DOING IT!!!!" We couldn't have been prouder of her, and either could she!
Oh and when I say mastered, she rode all the way to Harrys kindy and back yesterday! 1 hour and 45 minute return trip!

Lulu - 16 weeks

An afternoon in the Carlton Gardens

 Last weekend we beat the heat and dragged the kids into the Better Homes and Gardens show at the old Exhibition building.  It was stinking hot in the building so we hotfooted it out the back doors and spend the rest of the time running round the gardens - MUCH more civilized!

Holly and Harry ran around non stops (Harry in his undies!) they watched a bride and groom have their photos taken, and searched every tree for fairies. I even had them convinced that the bird house up in one tree was a fairy house. They then looked for ages under the tree for the "key" to get into the fairy door (a small hole in the tree!!!

A day at the Museum

 I remember the first picture of Holly on the "moon" at the museum ... she just looks so grown up now! She was probably only 1 when we first took her!

More of Lucy at 3 months ...

Our daughters .... at the same age

Lucy - 3 months old

 Our teeny tiny little girl is 3 months old already! She is not so teeny tiny any more - she has just hit 5kgs. She is out of newborn nappies and had a growth spurt.  According to the health nurse she is "long and lean".  Her stats are almost identical to Holly's at the same age.

Lucy is just an angel. She is the most gorgeous baby and is still smothered with kisses and cuddles from all of us.

She is smiling a lot now and will smile on cue when you ask her. She is so placid and we can already tell has a very soft nature.  She slept through the night 7-7 at 12 weeks for 4 nights in a row, however has woken for a 3am feed for the past 3 nights??? Fingers crosses she remembers how to do it again real soon!  Lulu is so easy going - she barely cries and just loves to be held and talked too.  She is getting quite good at talking back to us now to and goo's and gaa's when we chat to her.

We love you Luce - Happy 3 months xx

Around the house

 A lazy Sunday morning on the couch - all fast asleep ... well Harrys was - The others were pretending!

 This is not a very good photo of Andrew at all, but I had to post it, doesn't Lucy look like him???

 I love this photo, I forgot to post it with the Moama ones. They look like little ducks following the mother duck!  Aunty Katie took them up to the adventure park one morning and gave us all a sleep in - best Aussie Day morning sleep in EVER!

 Holly was nagging  asking me yesterday afternoon if they could play on the slip and slide. I was in a mad rush trying to get dinner organized and settle Lucy.  I told her that the grass was very long and might not be that good for the slide - with that she said "we will cut it"! "with what?" I asked, "scissors of course silly!" and with that, Holly and Harry sat happily on the grass for about 40 minutes cutting the grass - while I made dinner xx

 My beautiful pre-preppy xx

 H & H decided to wear their undies on the outside the other day and play super heros! I seriously don't even know where they get this stuff from? They have never seen a superhero film or cartoon???
