Week 12

These days I move so much and I'm always wiggling around when Daddy or Mommy are trying to change my nappy. I can now lift my butt up when lying on my back and lift my head up off the ground during tummy time.


I'm growing each day now...


and am as active as ever!


Like my bib?


I really do love my Daddy a lot!


Smooch!


Fresh after a bath...


I look really tan for some reason.


Daddy really loves me!


Still stunned from the big kiss!


What's going on?


I'm so big now that I no longer fit into my mini-bed.


I now have the whole side of the couch to myself!


Yep, I'm a lucky girl.


Boo hoo.. here I am crying because I want to be held! I don't like to feel lonely.

Smile!

These days I like to smile a whole lot! Here are some candid shots that mommy took.












Hi there...


Right on!


Mommy put me down for a nap...


And a minute later I had kicked off the blanket, refusing to sleep!


It's getting colder now so Mommy dressed me in a new vest!


Just admiring my feet...


Do I look pretty?


Here I am trying really hard to speak. I wish I could talk already!


Usually before I sleep, I will suck my thumb. While sucking my thumb, I will fall asleep and my thumb will slide out of my mouth which wakes me up again and the cycle repeats. Here I am struggling between sucking my thumb and sleeping.

Sleeping Beauty

Today is the beginning of my 11th week as a baby and I am 5.25kg! Mommy weighed me on the scale at home, so I'm not sure that's completely accurate, but a rough estimate.


Last Friday I met my first little friends. Here I am with my future boyfriend, Cameron. He likes to hug and kiss me! Unfortunately I was very tired and couldn't hug and kiss him back.


I love this group photo with me in Auntie Cheryl's arms and Cammy trying to comfort my crying with hugs. Daddy is holding Bradley--he's just two weeks younger than me even though he looks a lot younger.


Daddy had lots of fun with the boys while the girls spent time chatting. I can't wait for more visit in the future when I am awake and will be able to play.


It's a miracle! I have moved out of my parents bed and am now trying to sleep alone in my crib again. This is how I usually sleep: tucked in all snuggly into my pretty ballerina comforter from Auntie Nat with arms up and open.


The other day I surprised Mommy at how much I move in my sleep and she found me like this!


Enjoying some tummy time... haven't done this in a while.


I had my two-month immunization shots--one shot in each of my thighs. Needless to say, I cried in pain and shed a few tears, but was all better after the initial pricks.


Playing on my blanket with Mommy is fun!


'ello!


I'm almost getting as long as my blankey!


This is Auntie Edwina and me. She is going away to New York for a year and I wish her all the best over there! Hopefully she won't be scared of all the crazy Americans.


Me and my rocker--watch me go from awake to asleep to awake again.

Growing and growing!

It wasn't long after the last post that I learned to suck my thumb. Nowadays I will wake up and immediately start sucking my thumb instead of crying for milk.

I'm also making a lot more sounds like "ahh" and "guh" and clicking my tongue.


Having a jolly time in my new rocker that Daddy bought me!


It's also a good sleep-inducer!


Check out my legrolls!


I also smile a lot now, especially when Daddy and Mommy are talking to me and tickling me!


Mommy is making funny faces and sounds...


Hee hee!


Sometimes I like to stick out my tongue when I smile too.


Wee...


What is she trying to do now?


A close-mouthed smile for the camera.


Ooh...


Hmm...


I'm having so much fun!


My big-eyed angel face.


Mommy likes to play with me while I'm on the changing table.


I even like to smile when I'm nekkid!


But clean clothes are always more comfortable.


Just trying on this red hoodie from Auntie Lisa...


Yep, it fits!


Here I am playing the air guitar--I'm very talented!


Watch me as I exercise vigorously! Sometimes I get so excited that I end up spitting up a bit of milk.


My appetite has increased and I'm drinking more milk these days! Here I am giving my "smooch" of approval after a nice meal.


Usually just before I poopoo, I 'sing' a song of squeals to warn people of what is about to come. Here I am 'singing' and trying hard to squeeze the poopie out.
