2012


Wow I have been very slack in blogging hey! Or rather very busy with 2 children now. Lily Eva Grace was born on the 14th March and she is 10 months old now. We were finally able to turn her around to face forwards in her car seat on Saturday. She is a happy, smily little girl, very graceful and flexible, we think she is going to be a dancer or gymnast she is always doing the splits and pointing her toes and crossing her legs like a little lady. The first 4-5 months were very hard, she was not a good sleeper like Bailey and would only nap for 45 minutes at a time. She was very grumpy and rarely smiled but in September/October we got her sorted out and onto a routine that worked and since then she has been a different and happy baby :-).
Bailey has become more difficult, we spent much of 2011 toilet training and he is still not there yet! :-/ He loves to refuse when we ask him to do things and throws some ripper tantrums. He still loves playing with his wooden Thomas trainset and his Lightning McQueen cars, he still loves letters and numbers and is learning to write and learn sounds. At first he didn't really acknowledge Lily but now he likes to play with her a bit though he loves telling her 'No Lily that is not your toy, this is your toy' when she plays with something that is his (though of course he is allowed to play with her things all he likes).
Bailey is starting Pre-Kindy next week at the EYC. He will continue Kids Gym and also go to playgroup.
Lily is crawling and has 7 teeth, she has 2 naps a day now and they are both in bed by 7!
