Hi Girls,

Sorry I haven't been around much again. Things are quite hectic around here. Oma's in hospital today having her skin cancer cut out. Mum said she's in there now. I hope everything goes well. I won't be able to see her until Monday as we are so busy this weekend.

Dnaielle is rolling from her back to her tummy too. She's quite a wriggler. The other day I put her in her cot for a sleep and a few minutes later I heard her really screaming. I went in there and she had rolled onto her tummy but had her arm stuck under her and it was all blue. After I calmed her down I put her on her play mat and she was rolling again. But she only rolled onto her right arm. She also loved kicking things and pushing off things with her feet. I've found if I have a toy on the front of the pram where her feet are, she's so much happier when we go shopping. She does the spins in the cot too. She does 90 degree ones quite regularly with her legs hanging out the sides but if I don't hear her wake up she does 180's in there. So funny. She hates being still - she's always on the go - very much like her dad. She's such a good girl - goes to sleep all by herself and is always happy to play by herself for a while if I need to do something. I've also started her on solids as she wasn't taking her milk anymore. She loves her food - that she takes after me. At her 4 month checkup she was 7.2kg and 64cm long. Still in the 75th percentile. One big girl!

I've lost about 8 kilos since leaving hospital now. I'm down to 77.6 kilos now so we are getting there slowly. I've got 11.4 kilos to go until I've reached my first goal then we'll see if we'll go further. I make myself very busy during the days with cleaning the house constantly, mowing the lawns, blower vacing the outside, going to the gym, Christmas shopping (thank god I've only got 3 people left to shop for!!) and popping in to see Ken at work. He loves it when we see him during the day. He's such a good dad - he loves her to bits.

I better go - half way mowing the lawn, polished the car once - second coat now needed, load of washing almost finished and I need to clean the house. You ask why so much today? Well tomorrow I have softball in the middle of the day and in the evening I have my Christmas work doo with my work and on Sunday we are going for a picnic for a friend's birthday for lunch then we are dropping off Danielle so Ken and I can go to Chris Isaak! So I won't even have time to scratch myself over the weekend.

Have a great weekend everyone!!
