Dad stays home to look after me

Tonight Dad is staying home from rugby practise to look after me while Mum goes out for tea with the Mum's from her coffee group. I love spending time with Dad. I made him laugh lots before I got tired and grumpy and he had to put me to bed.

Last visit from plunket nurse

Today Alison came to see me at home for the last time. I now have to go into the plunket rooms to see her. She said I am looking fantastic, that I vocalise lots and starting to giggle. I am also batting and grabbing for things on my baby gym. I now weigh 5.14kg (11lb 51/2oz) and am 57cm long.

In the shower with Dad

Lately I have been having more showers than baths because I just LOVE THEM!! I put my head back into the water and let it run all over my face. I make Mum and Dad think I'm really funny and laugh at me lots.

6 week check up

Today I had my 6 week check up and immunisation injections. The check was fine, I was so good letting the lady poke & prod me and then it was injection time. I cried a little bit but Mum was worse than me! The nurse even asked her if she wanted to leave but she stayed with me. After a drink I was all smiles again like nothing ever happened, much to Mum's relief.

Flying home

This morning I had my first plane trip. I was very good and hardly cried at all. I even fell asleep just before we started to descend so my ears didn't get sore. It was really nice to see Dad once we got back.

A week on the farm

I had a great time down on the farm. I spend some time with my Nan & Grandad (great grandparents). They thought I was pretty cute!!

I also got to hang out with my uncle Dave and his girlfriend Tegan and her daughter Lily.

Mum also got some practise in for when I have a little brother or sister!

Great Uncle Neil's birthday party

Tonight we went to my great uncle Neils birthday party. There I met lots more of my family & got passed around like a hot potato :) After the party we drove the rest of the way down to Nana & Grandad's farm. Dad, my uncles Ryan & Kieran, and great uncle Ian stayed up late to put decoys out on the ponds ready for duckshooting in the morning.

Off to the farm

After Dad finished work today, we started our journey down to visit Nana & Grandad on the farm. We are staying in Hanmer Springs tonight and then go the rest of the way tomorrow. The drive went pretty well expect for an explosion in Murchison where Mum had to change all my clothes in the dark!

Plunket Nurse visit

Plunket Nurse Alison came to visit us today. She said I was fantastic for my age! I weighed 4.64kg or 10lb 3oz.
