First of many falls

It was bound to happen....Bubba G had her first fall at 5 months! 

On the weekend, Daddy had her sitting up and then she accidentally fell forward and hit the corner of her eye.  Poor bubba....she screamed for about 5 minutes before Mami comforted her with a bottle and held her tight and told her that this was going to be the first of many falls and that she was going to be ok.

We had to take a photo (the injury looks worse in this picture!)

The things I can't live without (right now)

The other day whilst I was vacuuming the house with baby in the bjorn I was thinking about how awesome the bjorn was and then it got me thinking....what are the things that I can't live without right now?

Well.....

• My baby bjorn of course...we go everywhere together.  This kid is on that bjorn most of the day...we walk to the shops, or the coffee shop, we vacuum and mop the floor and recently we have washed the dishes and prepared the purees for .
• Cup of nescafe coffee first thing in the morning.  When Bubba G wakes up, I go into her room unwrap her give her a massive kiss hello and then go and boil the kettle (priorities people!) I then make my coffee have a sip or two and then make her bottle.
• My local coffee shop across the road.  The woman who owns it sees me up to twice a day some days.  Nothing more to say about this.
• My Save our Sleep Book. The book is my bible...I am constantly checking up on things and reading up on how I can problem solve any sleeping issues that I may be having with Bubba G
• My iphone. For a couple of reasons: I am taking videos and photos of Bubba G all day long and sending them through to Daddy, and I check my facebook account about 15 times a day and sometimes can spend about half an hour reading the save our sleep facebook page and reading up on what other mums are going through and what advice they give (I have gained lots of tips from those mothers who post on their all day long).
• The mother's group.  I look forward to meeting up with the girls every Thursday at the local coffee shop. We spend up to 2 hours chatting and brainstorming any issues we may be having with our babies, and just generally having a good old gossip (and sometimes whinging about our husbands! haha)

What are the things you can't live without?

New Tastes

Ladies and Gentlemen...I present you....Bubba G eating SOLIDS!

Well we have just started with the baby cereal and on day three she has started to work out what all the fuss is about.

More videos and pictures to come :)

A little bit of everything

Dear Bubba G

Its been a while since I have posted on the blog, and so much has happened in the last couple of weeks that I don't even know where to begin. 

You are four months now and boy or boy have you developed loads! Daddy and I are super proud of you, you are rolling a few times whilst on the floor and you are doing some awesome bum shuffling that we think you will be crawling in no time (which means the fun will really begin!). You have started to babble and say a few things (well just "agoo and gaaaa") and Daddy says that you will be a talker just like me.  I can't wait to have some great conversations with you when you are older. 

Your nanny Mary and Grandad David are here from England and they have fallen in love with your cute personality and the little smiles you give them all the time.  You have been on top form in the last few weeks so well done!

We took you in the pool for the first time whilst on holiday at the Gold Coast a couple of weeks ago and while you weren't sure what to make of it at first, by the second and third time you were enjoying yourself quite a bit.  I think you thought it was a giant bath. We tried to take you in the sea but you weren't too happy so we will try next summer.

Lots of love
Mama

Perfect Weekend

Bubba G and I love our weekends...we get to hang out with Daddy all day long for two whole days!

This is a typical Sunday....

 We go for a walk around the park with Spurs

 Daddy helps me with feeding and reading to Bubba G

And we have a little fun playing dress ups :)

A few milestones

So Bubba G is now 14 weeks and we are starting to have LOADS of fun! Am absolutely loving seeing her grow into a beautiful (chubby) baby each day, and we spend our days walking around Yarraville (so I can have my coffee) and playing on the mat so that she can practice some tummy time.  In the last couple of weeks she has become much stronger and can hold her head so well and absolutely still loving her bath time....Oh and she can JUST about grab her toys and a laugh is nearly here... watch this space!
