JUST HANGIN' AT HOME

Not too much going on at the moment as mummy is trying to get me to have better sleeps during the day so she hasn't been carting me off to the shops very much like she used to, or having lattes here there and everywhere! I think I scared her out of these the other week when we went to have one after baby massage class with my friend Isabella and her mummy Katie - I just didn't feel like sitting there for too long (even though I should have been sleeping) so I thought I would scream the place down, nothing would console me - not even mummy's big juicy boobie. Anyway we haven't been for a latte since!

We have just been hanging out at home. I love my swing chair as you see in the photo, I usually swing on this for quite a while without making a sound. Mummy has also opened up some of my new toys now that I am a bit older and will enjoy them more.

I am starting to grab things and hold onto them now, like rattles etc. Oh and I did just for the first time last night grab mummy's earing and wouldn't let go, however, I think this was just a coincidence that her ear was in the way of my moving hand! Mummy was quite excited by this though and laughed.

Mummy has also been hasseling me with photo shoots. She was doing a calendar for christmas presents for my grandads and nanna's and she put me in some weird hat and with some big round ball and just kept clicking the camera for ages. I was getting very tired in the end and very grumpy!

That's all for now, talk to you again soon.

Melbourne Cup Day

We went out to mummy's friend Rebecca's house for cup day. It was her birthday and she invited us to come "dressed for the cup" - so of course, mummy put on her creative hat and made me a little fascinator to wear! We walked into the party and all the ladies "oooohhhhhed" and "aaaahhhhhhhhhhhhed" and said didn't i look so cute, mummy was so proud of herself, no one else had thought to do that with their little daughters! Anyway, i didn't mind it to start with because i didn't really know i had it on my head but once it came off and then mummy tried to put it on again i didn't like it and i let her know about it - this was great as she tried to get a good photo of me wearing it and i thought i would play up for her!

The party was ok - I got a feed and then slept through most of it!

Some pics of me - how cute!

As mummy has finally got the hang of using this blog site, she has posted a couple pics of me that she thought were cute so that you can see how i have grown...

Needles, "Coo"ing and other great things

So, I went for my needles last week and I cried a little and dropped my bottom lip (love doing this, makes mummy's heart melt), but I handled it much better on the day than mummy expected. However, it did knock me out, I was zonked, all I wanted to do all day was sleep. Mummy kept checking on me to see if I was ok, if i was still breathing - I am sure I could feel her presence! So, yes I was fine for that day but the following two days i seemed really irritable, especially the Tuesday night. Mummy gave me panadol which worked really well. I slept and feed better then. Anyway, they are done now and I overheard mummy saying i go back for some more in January - great - hopefully I take to them a little better next time.



Mothers group was ok. I thought it would be fun to be centre of attention right at the begining of the session and cry, cry cry really loudly and challenge mummy to settling me right in front of all these other new mums! ha ha - it was great, i had her up and down, swaying to the right, swaying to the left, putting me in this position and that! After a little while, I think she was putting on a brave face but deep down getting a little cross at me so i went to sleep and slept through the whole group thing and woke at the end and grizzled again!



"Coo"ing - yes, I have began to talk - I have started cooing lately and making some other strange funny little sounds from my mouth. Mummy says i am sooo funny and i sound so cute. She loves it when i try and talk to her. I know she doesn't understand me because she starts talking about some other rubbish back to me - doesn't matter, I just keep cooing away, it makes mummy smile anyway.

Long time no write

Hi again! Gee I have been hounding mummy to let me write and keep you all up to date with my happenings but she just kept saying "Not now, maybe later"!!! So I wait and wait..... anyway I am back on again and should not waste any time!
I still cry lots but mummy seems to be coping alot more lately. I try to break her down but she often tells me as she is settling me to sleep "you aren't going to win this time Macy" and keeps singing Twinkle Twinkle over and over with a massive smile on her face, so I just get louder and then she gets louder and louder and in the end I give up and go to sleep (at least then I don't have to hear the same song over again!!)
I am smiling a lot more now. I usually give mummy a big smile as soon as I wake from a big sleep and she loves it, I can see it on her face.
I am starting to sleep more through the day now. I still love my night time sleeps and only wake for one feed around about 2 or 3am.
Last Friday, my friend Isabella and I went to baby massage. We hated it and screamed the room down. There were 3 other babies there, all boys and I don't know why but they laid there in the nude and enjoyed every minute. I don't know why I didn't, I could have been just overtired or a little shy being nude in front of the boys! We go again next week, I will try and like it for mummy's sake.
Tomorrow I am going to the doctors to get my needles. I think mummy is more scared than I am. Tuesday I will meet some other bubs as we are off to mother's group. I hope the girls there are nice for mum and the bubs are fun and good babies like me!

I will write again soon to tell you how it all went.

I LOVE TO CRY

Mummy hates it but I LOVE IT........I do it most days up until bed time at night. I don't like to sleep during the day, I would rather just cry for most of it! I just love having mummy's attention all the time. I prefer that she holds me and rocks me to sleep, I don't want to be just put in the crib, rocked, sang to for a little bit and then just left on my own - so I cry, really loudly, I try to wriggle free of my straight jacket, i kick my legs, i turn red, and dribble - heee heeee - yep, mummy hates it but I LOVE IT!! (mummy wonders if i have ADHD already!)
