Lily is 4 months old! 21st June - 29th July

Hello all!

I am free from the brace! Yay! Mummy took me to the doctors on the 10th and he said my hips are much better now and I don't have to wear the brace anymore. It's great coz I can kick my legs out. I love to sit under the play gym and kick and talk to my toys. It's great fun and mummy and daddy love to watch me play. Can you see my friend, Duckie!? We have a great time hanging out! I started to roll over the other day. Mummy was very excited! I tricked her...she went to the toilet and I rolled over when she wasn't looking! but I did it again so she could see.

I can't see Nana and Pa because they are a long way away so mummy took a photo of me with them....it's nice to look at their photos.

Aunty Katy came to visit one day. She was fun to play with. She changed my nappy and gave me cuddles and kisses.

Mummy's friends Pip and Sarah with her baby Isaac came to visit us the other day. It was nice to place with Isaac and give big cuddles to Sarah and Pip. I like them. :)

My friend Caleb and I like to play together. Can you see us in the photo? Caleb's mum says he's my boyfriend. Daddy says I have a big dowry on my head. I don't know what that means but I like to play with Caleb. :)

Mummy took me to see the nurse and I weigh 6.1kg and 62cm long. I'm a big girl! Mummy tells me all the time how fast I'm growing up.

Daddy came home from work the other day and was a bit sick. I ended up with what Mummy called a 'cold'. My nose kept running and I would sneeze. It is funny when I sneeze..it tickles my nose! Sometimes stuff flies out of my nose onto Mummy and Daddy. They laugh...so it must be funny! :)

I went on my first train ride with Mummy and Daddy to Springwood the other day. It was so much fun! It goes so fast and my eyes couldn't keep up with the trees outside! I had good fun!

Many dribble kisses to everyone! I love you.

Love Lily

Lily is 3 months old! 7th - 20th June 2007

I'm a big girl now! I'm 3 months old! I have learned so much in 3 months. I've started to talk, I can smile and giggle, I can hold my head up, I can cry, poo and wee! I can follow people around a room, I can poke my tongue out, I can kick my legs, I can dribble. Wow! So many things and mummy and daddy are very proud of me!

Well, I've been busy in the past 2 weeks. I went all the way to Ramond Terrace to Grandma and Da's farm. It was a very rainy weekend. So much rain that we almost didn't make it home again. Daddy called it a flood. I wasn't worried but mummy was talking about maybe going home by a boat. I wonder what a boat is?! We had a lovely weekend with Grandma and Da, Aunty Nellie, Uncle Gav, Aunty Kirsty and Cousin Carter. Cousin Carter was lots of fun! He was trying to teach me to dance and I loved to watch him. I gave everyone lots of cuddles and kisses and lots of smiles.

Mummy took me back to the physio to have my brace refitted on the 12th. They put on a brace that was not very comfortable so Daddy took me back on the 15th to have the first one put back on. Can you see me in it in the photos? I look forward to having it off so I can kick my legs all the time. Mummy also took me to see the baby doctor on the 13th. He said that I was gorgeous and Mummy agreed. He said that I was looking great and was putting on the right amount of weight. I weigh about 5.2kg at the moment. Daddy likes my chubby thighs! He calls me chubby bubba! I still take Mummy's milk and some bottles later in the day.

Mummy, Daddy and I went to Aunty Katie and Uncle Ross place on 15th - 17th. We had a great time. Uncle Ben came to see me and his new girlfriend Christelle. She is nice and gave me my bottle. Uncle Ben gave me lovely eskimo kisses. I had a great time on Saturday night. Mummy and Daddy went out for the first time together and left me with Aunty Katie and Uncle Ross. I had fun with them and would love to do it again. Mummy and Daddy were very relaxed when they came to see me. I didn't get to see them till the next day though coz I was sound asleep in bed. Mummy said I am a good girl coz i slept for 11 hours that night. I liked watching TV at their place and I liked watching it from the bean bag.

I am such a big girl now that I have gone up from newborn nappies into crawler nappies! Mummy and Daddy are so proud of me! They always tell me that. It gets a bit cold in the mountains so I have to wear nice jackets. Can you see the one that looks like a teddy bear?! Lots of people stop to look at me in it. It's so warm!

Mummy took me back to tracillian for sleeping on the 18th. I did really well, the nurse told mummy. I am getting better at putting myself back to sleep and this makes Mummy and daddy very happy.

Mummy has been taking me to a new mothers group on Fridays. It's so nice. There are so many other babies to look at. They are funny!

Well, I think I might go and have a play under the play gym for a while. Lots of cuddles and sloppy kisses to everyone. Especially sloppy kisses to Nana and Pa!

Love Lily
