Friday Funny

This morning on the drive to school Lulu started grizzling. Lucy loves being sang to and the last few days when I have started singing to her in the car, she immediately stops crying.  I said to Holly;

Mummy: "Watch this Hol, she stops crying when I sing this song to her"
              "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy"
Holly:      "Mum she is not your son?"
Mummy:  "That's right? Why did you say that?"
Holly:      "You should be singing - You are my daughter-shine!!"

It took me a second to realize what she was saying, It was a great funny to start the day!

What is that thing called love?

Thursday is library day at Billanook, a favourite for Holly. She loves to pick her new book out each week and bring it home and read it in bed that night.  Today she came home with a book titled 'What is that thing called love?'.
While I was waiting for Holly and Harry to settle down in bed so I could begin reading, I said to them "What does love mean?" The answers were priceless and perfect ...

Holly: "Its when you're really really really really really really (x20) best friends with someone" So true and honest, I love it!

Harry: "it 50, 250 hundred thousand love hearts" agghh!

Are they not the most gorgeous definitions of love by a 5 and almost 3 year old?

A few more from Aunty Pol ...

Dinner at the Pub on Friday night wtih friends - a face painter arrived!

6 months old

 Last week marked Lulu's 6 month birthday.

Wow, how time flies.

Here is where our little sweet cheeks is at - 

She has started rolling from back to front, almost immediately after you put her down she rolls over.

She has started solids as of last week - actually the day she turned 6 months!

Lucy just love love loves to be held and snuggled - she adores being kissed and the centre of our attention

She is a quiet and more serious baby so far, she will throw out lots big gummy smiles, but is a little more reserved with her giggles - we really have to work for them.

She is very strong 

She loves the bath and splashes and thrashes about for a good 20 minutes every night - sometimes with her sister and brother in the bath too!

She loves to make sounds and gurgle that sweet baby tune

She sleeps mostly through the night, but is lately waking for her dummy. We are doing the nightly walk through the house to pop the dummy back in 2-3 times a night at the moment.

She will normally sleep 7pm-7am

She loves being read to before bed - part of our bed time ritual.

She loves lying in the playroom watching Holly and Harry.

She is fully formula fed now :( - as of 6 months.

She is much more aware of people and well and truly knows the sound of my voice above a crowd.

She is a gorgeous little placid girl who barely cries and is happy to be carted around where ever we go without a fuss.

We love you SO much Lucy xx

Buon Appetito!

 Lucys very first mouth full of food!

Lulu is eating, but not really all that interested.  She started a week ago and is having one meal a day. We started on rice cereal and have moved onto pumpkin, sweet potato and apple.

I think she will take a bit longer to warm up to the whole eating thing.

Holly and Harry were the first to feed her. They were so excited to feed her, and they did a stella job!
