Week 29

Dear Genevieve,

This week you turned 29 weeks old!

You are getting so strong! This week you have started rolling over a few times in a row!

You have started to look like you are 'chewing' your food this week, which is funny since it's all still pureed :)

You love a good mix for dinner - this one was zucchini, peas, pumpkin & carrot with pear & peaches for dessert :)

And you roll over SO easily now - fun fun! You also now can 'walk' when we hold your hands and you are standing on a hard surface. You pick your legs up and move them forward!

This is also the first week you successfully ate out! You had lunch at the mall twice, and thankfully it wasn't too too messy :) We noticed you smiling while you were eating and saw you were looking at people across the room who were smiling at you - cute.

You certainly are Mummy's Little Pudding :)

Love,
Mama

Fun with Grandma

A quick catch up post with what we've been up to this week

Week 28

Dear Genevieve,
This week you turned 28 weeks old!

You started eating baby porridge (oats) this week 'hey Mom - no more photos!'

And you tried avocado for the first time - yumm yumm! You have also started sticking as many fingers as you can into your mouth when you take a bite - to push it it faster perhaps?

This week you also have started to figure out how to sleep on your stomach which is a good thing since then you don't cry out all night asking for help to flip onto your back. You also once and awhile flip back over all by yourself.

You are growing so quickly we have to hurry to get photos of you in all of your outfits!!!

I bought you this outfit one day on a work break, you are our cute little Aussie :)

You have started to started to anticipate - smiling when we come at you for a tickle or peek a boo

And all of the sudden you have started smiling with these huge wide happy smiles - your smile has actually changed - your grin has gotten wider!! I LOVE it :)

You also have started have started turning the pages of books yourself! Only using your left hand though, so smart!


Thanks to Grandma's fun new gift you have also learned how to jump this week :)

Lots of Love,
Mama

Happy Happy

Last night, 'winding down' for bedtime with Daddy's sock

Fun at home with Daddy

"HI Daddy! I remember this green top when I was born - um hello.. don't you ever wear anything else?? You're so embarrassing."

"Ahhh in Daddy's nook....although kinda squished in the pit......"

Daddy and I giggling about mamma. hee hee."I know!...right...she does that...me too...SNAP!"

Hey check out my new summer hat Daddy gave me.....hey I can smell lunch? ...Yippee!

My new hat comes with all these stretchy things - to keep the flies away? Oh no, I've worked it out, it's one of those new "exercise while you wear" hats .....one...two...three...What? Do you KNOW how many calories are in my mamma's milky treats?? It's completely indulgent. It's not like I haven't asked for SKIM a thousand times. I mean, doesn't she listen? I must have said "Weeee urgh gurgle blah blah" every morning! ...oh well...I suppose mamma knows best....but I do think she should get her hearing checked.

Daddy and I spending some quality time watching an awesome fishing show with lots of cool fishing boats! I love having a snack on the couch with Daddy....but he doesn't share his treats. Instead I get this blue doughnut that must be sooooo stale! I can't make any progress on it no matter how long I chew on it. If that wasn't hard enough - there's a whole bunch more on a stick and they keep getting bigger!! I mean, what do they think, like I have teeth or something?? Besides, as if I would ever eat something that was orange!? Who's the cook in this house?

"What? Oh yeah, mmmmm so yummy Daddy. I love my blue doughnut, thanks so much for making it for me." ( I just don't have the heart to break it to him that he can't cook)

(comments by Murray of course - cause I'm not funny:)
