Well it's my birthday today. I'm becoming an old fart!! Hehehe. I had a lovely day yesterday. We went to a dam which has a lovely picnic area and invited my friends and family for lunch. It was a bit of work as I did everything for it but it was great. Danielle was passed around most of the day and Mum fed her for me so I had a bit of a day off too. So far from my friends and family I got some Ugg Boots, a photo frame, a going out jacket, Gilmore Girls on DVD series 1 and 2, a bottle of dessert wine and a Bras N Things voucher. Ken hasn't given me my present yet. He said it hasn't come in yet but he should have it this afternoon. I didn't really want anything from him as I just got my car but he's going to surprise me. I'm not going to the gym today but we've got Mother's Group this afternoon so I'll make some brownies and take them with - yummo!! The best thing about the weekend - I didn't see the MIL!!! YAY!!! But she wants me to go and see her in the city at her work. I'll have to work up the courage to do that one.
Cassie - thanks for the tip. My hair's about back bra strap length and Danielle keeps grabbing it when I have it loose which is not very often anymore as I can't stand her pulling it. I will have to try it and see if it works next time she does it - she loves to grab my hair and rip it out!! I can't wait for this weekend. We've organised a Girls Night Out at a pub for dinner and drinks. They've got a cool band on too so it should be really good. The boys are staying at my place waiting for a call to pick us up and to look after Danielle. The boys are going camping in a month's time or so - that's why the girls are going out - should be good.
Kel - I've bumped Danielle's head too. I was putting her in her seat but in Ken's car and I hit her head on the handle on the inside of the car that you hold onto going around corners. She screamed so much - I was in tears - but she was hungry too and we were trying to get home to feed her. Luckily I settled her down and she was OK - no lump or anything. I felt so bad too. Yay for Charlotte being over 5kgs now - she starting to grow!!
Baiza - I too went and looked at Jenny Craig but like Kel it was too expensive for my liking. I prefered to spend my money on a gym membership and do my food myself. If I had the extra money I would've done it though.
Danielle's definately found her voice now too. She's giggling and babbling - it's so cute!! And she's doing her Tummy Time properly now. She's actually raising her head and proping herself with her arms. She always used to just rub her head in the blanket I had under her but the MCHN at Mother's Group told me to roll a towel and it put under her chest. I did that Monday to Thursday and by Thursday night she was doing it all on her own! I'm so proud of her. I can't wait to show her today. Danielle's also getting the nack of putting things in her hands and her mouth. She keeps pulling her bib, putting her bib in her mouth and pulling on the ribbon that holds her dummy to the clip on her clothes. She also starting to hold onto toys for a bit now too. She's being so good lately - I love her to death. Oh and she slept in her cot last night for the first time. She's been in her cradle until last night and she still slept through the night - what an angel!!
I better go - we are going to have a bit of a play then I need to cook my brownies and stink the house out - hehehehe!! But it's a good smell.
