It had to be done... my very first gigging shoes!

We were at harbourtown on Wednesday and Dan came back with a purchase for Amelie, soft soled cons on sale... they don't quite fit yet but soon...

Annoying habits

Over all Amelie is proving to be a fantastic baby, very regular sleeper/feeder and barely ever cries. The only habit she seems to be developing that is rather annoying is saving up her largest poo of the day for 5am, just after I take off her nappy and lift up her legs to wipe her bum...its like she sees my clean pjs and says 'well we just can't have that...ready...aim...' so for the last three nights both her and I have had to have a full outfit change at 5am... but I am getting quicker with the intercept!

The Thinker

Okay I'd like to think she was deep in thought...but really only deep in sleep. And here is Amelie with the first teddy she has taken to.

Trips to Granma and Granpa's

While Granma and Grandpa have been in town they have been staying over at Henley beach, which has made for some great days out, especially with some of the very warm weather we have had lately. Of couse Amelie sleeps through most of our outings, but she did seem to be enjoying the sky this one particular day.

Little Feets...

We'll,... this is Dad's first post. Everything is going awesome and we have no real complaints aside from the expected (no sleep, "why is she crying?", "really? but I just changed her 20 mins ago", "no, her name is not emily. It's Amelie... like the movie"). Already I feel like she should not be allowed to date anyone ever.. but, I'm sure everyone's Dad feels the same way.

Here are some little feet and hand shots. Simon called her 'foot' before we had a name for her, so I thought I would post some photos. (complete with dirty mark on her foot. Darn!)

Does anyone know how to get some of those ink handprints/footprints from a baby? I thought of maybe using watercolour paints, but it may not be dark enough... If I use anything stronger I might end up making a mistake like george in Seinfeld with the wedding invitations... and I am determined to not seriously injure my first child by doing anything stupid. (It's gonna be tough, I know). Any ideas?

Father's Day

Here's some shots from Daniel's first Father's Day... us heading to church, Amelie sleeping through her first sermon- the DS was preaching, and us heading out on our first big outing with the baby back pack to Grandma and Grandpa's place for Lunch.
