Growing up Quickly

I started this blog mostly to update my baby's milestones and special moments. I haven't updated properly in awhile, so here is what Emily has been up to lately.

Emily is growing sooooooo quickly. I don't mean the physical, as she is still quite small despite eating LIKE A HORSE! I mean the intellectual. The days of the cat-screech crying are gone. I just noticed this the other day when I heard a newborn cry at the shopping centre. That tiny little strained cry that used to fill my ears as I dragged myself out of bed, running into the wall as I went but too tired to care.

At nearly 6 months, the cry is coupled with vocal sounds, almost like words.

'Maaaaaaaaaaaaameeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! AAAAArrrrrrrrrrr,ummmmmmm, wahhhhhhhh!!! Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh, oooooooooooohhhh, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!'

(Come and get me mummy, I've been awake for an hour and I'm over being in the cot!)

Breastfeeding is also different. Now it's all about grabbing things and shoving them in her mouth. *OUCH*

I also can leave her on her own, kinda. She doesnt cry if I leave the room but when I come back she is on the other side of the room pulling something apart or chewing something she shouldn't be. She also loves to dance, and to bouncy bounce!

A few weeks ago she started laughing, like really laughing. She grins and says, 'Ha HA!'

The flying arms are a sign of excitement. Both arms go up in the air, then down, then up, then down like she is trying to fly away. This makes the bouncer bounce across the room.

Her face is also changing. Ahh it's all exciting!

Emily's first icecream!

A change is in the air

It's time to change, its time to go.

Moving. Oh I'm sad.

Yet excited. A new start, house designing, finding a block of land, ohhh it will be fun!

But the memories of here will linger on.

Trying to upload some photos of our house but not happening...stupid computer.

Emily's first trip to the pool, as you can see she didn't want to get out of the water!

Emily loves Daddy and Daddy loves her right back!

I've been so busy lately.

Not just busy, oh-my-god-I-dont-have-time-to-fart busy. Why does everything start to speed up as Christmas approaches?

Emily has stopped crawling. She crawled for a week then decided she would rather stand. So now I have to hold her with at least one hand while she stands and grins at me. She has also started to finally take a bottle after I invested in a Pigeon one. Best $10 I ever spent.

On the weekend we went to the Brighton show and Emily came Runner up in the Baby Quest. It wasn't first, but I was still very proud. It's only a bit of fun anyway! Some people don't like the Baby Quests/Showboy/Showgirl but I like to enter Jordon and Emily in them, if they win they get a nice sash which we can hang on the wall.

We have also been cleaning up the place as we are selling the house. It's going to be sad to leave but we will be better off. We will be able to pay the mortgage, car and also have enough to buy a block of land and own it outright. The house will be the only thing we will need to borrow money for. It will be so worth it, especially with me being qualified as an Art Teacher by 2011 we will both be bringing in the pay then. So we have good times ahead hopefully.


Busy, busy, busy!
