yeah, pretty busy here, with IL's still here, and lots of Christmas gatherings to attend..
We had a weekend away at Noosa, and Milla had her first surf experience!! She was pretty good - I think the water was a bit colder than the pool last week. I just sat with her right at the waters edge, and held her legs in the water, and jumped her over the waves... got a few smiles until I missed a wave (oooops!!!) and it smashed her in the face... poor chicken. After that we got out and I gave her a feed, only to later discover that I must have had loads of sand all over the bbs, so I'm sure she ingested some.. no complaints though! All in all, the prep of getting ready for the beach, and the clean up afterwards was not worth it for 5 minutes in the water, but at least we gave it a go. We went really late in the afternoon so there wasn't much sun.
For Christmas we have got her a rocking horse (sounds a bit like Xaviers.. it neighs and clops), and some books, and I am yet to finish my coloured textured play mat. Not toooooo spoilt, but there will be loads from rellies I reckon. She is way too young for the rocking horse just yet, but DH loves it....
Still no rolling, but she really swivels her hips when she lies on her back, so I think she is getting there... She swivels right around so she can see the telly, cheeky monkey.
We are planning a naming day for her on the 27th - very low key, just some drinks and cake on our deck. We have asked for no presents, but that everyone contribute to a time capsule for her to open on her 21st - all stuff that sums up life in 2007, like fashion junk mail, real estate ads, cars, food prices, music etc. We're also going to get everyone to write a note / wish for her, and put that in the capsule too. Very simple, but fun to look back on in 2028! Has anyone else got plans for Naming days, or are you doing Christenings or anything?
Off to bed now, after a bad night last night with a 12am and 3am feed, and I couldn't sleep myself between the two...Grrrrrr.
Hope you are all well!
