check out my feet....

Amelie flagged out after playing with turdle

Amelie was playing in her cot this week and I came in to find her fast asleep.

This is us this morning hanging out...

Amelie eating

I didn't get any footage of the first meal, but here is amelie with her second- I don't know why they call it 'solids' there's not really anything solid about it at all! For entree she will be having bananna and farex with yogurt mash, followed by a main course of bananna mash with yogurt and farex, and finally a smooth desert of yogurt with undertones of bananna and farex...have any of you parents eaten farex... How is that even food at all?? This week she'll be widening her repetoire slowly.



Amelie is coming along pretty well, she has just transitioned into size '0', is weighing about 7.2kgs, is 69cm long. She isn't sitting or rolling really yet, but loves walking if you hold her hands. Her favourite thing is Chloe, she always wants to walk over to her and giggles and laughs when she gets close. Then she grabs handfuls of chloe's fur- which chloe has been very patient with. When Amelie starts crawling we might need to get a play pen for Chloe's protection.
Dan and I are doing pretty well, both back at uni and working lots. Amelie is great, she comes with me to pretty much everything (except uni). She's a great team member!! Although we are very greatful to all of of our friends who are willing to look after her and give us a break when we need it...

Working towards crawling

Chloe having a taste...

Chloe and amelie get along really well so far. Chloe is very relaxed around her and Amelie loves watching chloe, and has just started trying to touch her. Today when I was taking some photos I think chloe got close enough to lick amelie... she just started laughing.

5 months and about time for an update

Hey everyone, sorry its been a while, January was a crazy month. Amelie had her first long road trip to Melbourne. She was really good until about the last hour when it all got just a bit to much... but hey driving that far would be boring if all you can really see is the back car seat!
Amelie is now 7.3kgs and 69cm... still very tall. She loves standing (with a little help) and moving and while in Melbourne made her first attempt at steps...well she was being held up by Rel and Dennis at the time, but still it was cool. She also has started grabbing food off me and putting it in her mouth, and yesterday took the bottle off Daniel and started feeding herself....very cool but I'm trying to hold off solids for another month, mainly to avoid the mess!! She is having tastes of various things though; curry, olives, coldrock...you know just the basics! She always comes back for more, just like her mum!
