Happy 6 Months M!

All these babies are doing so well with their solids, crawling, rolling and sitting. DD was 6 months on Wednesday. Although technically isn't 6months until another good 3 weeks. She isn't interested in food yet but we will continue to try every few days.

We saw the MCHN yesterday and she has grown a fair bit. She is now 6.5kg and 65cm long. Her HC is 42.5 and as the health nurse said "growing into her head now" hahaa.

Miss Z is sitting on her own now and only falls when she no longer wants to sit or is too excited kicking around. We just need to teach her to get into the sit position herself. There are no signs of her crawling and she has got lazy with her rolling. MCHN said this is common as they often stop doing things while they're off learning a new skill.

Swimming lessons are going well, she just loves them, quite the little water baby.

Sleeping has improved out of sight with me cutting out dairy so long as I act on her tired signs straight away. She has however been waking regularly thru the night again but I don't mind as she most often feeds then sleeps. Last night she slept from 10pm til 730am yes you read that right I was so shocked.

We are off on a holiday next week for just over a week. Going to visit the beach on our way to see my sister and meet my niece (the one that had open heart surgery at 2wks old). Can't wait to be able to go to a park, beach, have a coffee and generally get out of the house and visit a shop!! Looking forward to getting some toys for DD as we really don't have any for her at the moment and she is becoming quite bored. BY the time we get back we will have done at least 4,000km.

Saffi: Glad you got the day care spot. It would be lovely to be able to spend some quality alone time with DH

megsmum: E's hair sounds cute funny, Z's hair is growing back now, lighter than before but still not the blonde we thought she'd have. She does have a bald spot on the back of her head though lol

Willow Christening, that will be lovely. We're not doing the christening thing but would love to have a naming ceremony. Just not sure where to have it, here with all her friends or Queensland with all our family and friends that would love to be part of her life if we didn't live a billon km's away.

Sorry to everyone I've missed need to run, DD is sick of sitting on the floor. Enjoy your weekends.
