Week Nine

On Monday you slept through the night for the first time! We’re so proud of you. We’ve been trying a new bed time routine with you and it seems to be helping you. Before bed you have a bath with Daddy, then I get you changed into your clothes and feed you. Sometimes we read stories after that or I rub your little back. Daddy or I heat up the wheat bag for you and put it into your bed so it’s warm when you get into bed. Your sleeping has been so much better all week. Most nights you’ve been sleeping through, but some nights you’ve become restless between 4.00 am and 4.30 am. When you wake up you don’t cry straight away anymore either. By Wednesday night you had worked out that after your bath you get fed. As soon as you got into the bath on Wednesday night you started using your feet to push off the bottom of the bath to try and get to me, with your little mouth wide open. It was so cute and we couldn’t help but laugh. You’re such a clever little cookie. I played netball for the first time again on Monday night so you went and visited Nana. On Tuesday Oma visited you at home. She bought some berry muffins to share with us and had a coffee. Sunday was your Daddy’s first ever Father’s Day so that was really special. We gave Daddy a bag of treats with everything he needs for a movie afternoon with us – yummy ice cream sundae ingredients, popcorn and fudge. We also gave him a six pack of Heineken beers because he’s been working so hard on building our home this year. I took some photos of the two of you together on the couch while Daddy opened his present. We had a family lunch at Poppa Don’s and Nana Rosetta’s house. I also had Poppa, Uncle Dyllan and Gail over for dinner. I made two different lasagnes, salad and garlic bread for dinner. Uncle Dyllan sat with you while you slept on your play gym and held your hand. Poppa also loved having cuddles with you. Everyone loves you so much xo
