Hi ladies.

Hi Mel! Welcome to our thread.

We did Xmas with my family yesterday and Claire got some pretty cool pressies. She got some fun toys (including some that I think I might take the batteries out of at some point!! iykwim!!) , some cute clothes and a Hi 5 DVD which she watched today with DH. She just sat there staring at the TV with her eyes and mouth wide open. Sometimes I dance around to the music on the TV which she thinks is absolutely hilarious. We lost her sunhat a few days ago and luckily my brother gave her a new one for Christmas, so that was handy. And I bought her something on eBay for Xmas which arrived today - just in time! She was very keen on the wrapping paper too - aparently it is quite tasty. She had a good time playing with her cousins too (boys 6 and 4 y.o) and they were very good with her, especially the 4 y.o.

Tomorrow, we are off to see DH's family who live about 2 hours away. Hopefully she will sleep in the car. They're a loud bunch of people and I hope they dont overwhelm her. I think she will get spoilt again. A few of them have already told me wht she is getting. I already know she is getting two dolls and a set of duplo blocks. I dont know if we'll have room for all her new toys, lol!

Claire has just strated waving now. Its very cute. She also waves to herself in the mirror. But she is really painful in the bath now and she constantly wiggles and just wont sit still. She tried to stand up in the bath, but slipped over and got an egg on her head.

Rachel, I have to agree with you there. Claire is such a person now, and she is definately showng personality. Hope you enjoy the time in Adeliade. Did you drive to Adelaide or fly?

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas (or a lovely whatever else you celebrate at this time of year, if some of dont celebrate Christmas).
