Hi everyone and happy birthday for all of the Feb babies because I'm bound to forget each one, so will do it all in one post!

I'm going back to work in one week. My old work called and offered me a temporary contract as a business analyst, and it's full time for 6 months and I still get all of the government perks like flex days, holidays, sick days etc. Money is good - much better than I was getting before, but thanks to the cost of child care, I'll be taking home only a little over what I was taking home before (around $50 more). Blah! The things we have to do. Hopefully that'll give me heaps of time to get my internet business launched properly. (Kel, I'll have to get you to check out my NEW website!). I currently have websites coming out of my ears - it'll eventually pay off!

The next week is now dedicated to spending time with my beautiful baby. We're also going to call into the child care centre for an hour or so each day this week, just so she's used to the place. She doesn't actually start there until Thursday of next week because Mum will have her on Mondays and Tuesdays for now (can't get a place for Tuesdays) and with Wednesday the 13th being her birthday, DH and I decided she couldn't have her first day at child care on her BIRTHDAY!! So he's having that day off! Bri went to the same daycare centre when she was little, and they were pretty good then. It's in a nice spot - back off the road, lots of trees around and an ambulance and fire station next door! lol

We still only have 2 top teeth but I think the top 4 are about to pop through any day! Bella has said her first word, which was "Ta" when I was trying to get her to give me the bit of rubbish she had picked up from the floor (I'm a terrible housewife!).

We're also not walking yet - lots of standing on her own, but that's about it for now. We've just about weaned Bella off formula, and when this tin runs out, she'll be on cow's milk. She eats ok through the day and LOVES drinking water from her straw cup. All good for day care!

I've got to go and do some mother/baby stuff I think. Talk to you all later!
