Today I went to the clinic and had my 6 month check done, and the midwife is extremely happy. I have gained 205 grams since Friday which the midwife was suprised at as she was the one to weigh me on friday and then again today. I am now in the 40th pertenctile for my weight and my soft spot is growing over very nicely. The midwife is extremely happy with my new routine that mummy and her worked out for me. The midwife thinks that I didnt put on much weight as it was just my body adjusting to having the new solids that mummy is now giving me.

My new routine is

8am: Wake up and have a bottle and tummy time with daddy.

9:30am: Go back to bed for my morning nap

12pm: Wake up and have Lunch (usually some pureed fruit and Juice)
Sitting alone play with my toys, tummy time and music

2:30pm Go to bed for afternoon nap

6pm: Wake up, bath time, Dinner ( Mooshed up vergies and a Bottle),

7pm: Bed

10pm: wake up, Bottle and Block play

11:30pm: Bottle and bed

and then we start our day all over again,

even though some days due to exciting new things eg the christmas tree lighting mummy and I try to stick to the routine as much as possible, Mummy would like to thank everyone who has given her all the great advice about rasing such a young child. If anyone out there has found a really good reciepe for baby moosh please leave the reciepe or the website for the reciepe in the comments, as mummy would like to try a few new reciepes so I get a range of healthy meals.

Here is a short video of Molly dancing at the christmas carols, as you can see she really enjoyed herself

On Saturday night Mummy, Daddy and Uncle Mike took me to the lighting of the christmas tree in Canberra. I got the wear my new santa hat and I tried to sing the carols like everyone else. I stayed up very late and then finally fell asleep in the car half way home. I thought seeing Santa was the best thing ever. Uncle Mike helped me to see over all the tall people that stood up while the lights on the tree were turned on. Mummy and I are planning to go to the carols at the war memorial on Friday night and Mummy says if I'm a good girl Santa will probably come for a visit there too. You can see all the photos from the christmas tree lighting by clicking on the photo of Uncle Mike and I.

Today I met Santa, and I didnt cry, I thought Santa was just the greatest.
After we saw Santa mummy and I went out to Nan Rs house and we helped uncle Mike to make this cool christmas train.

Uncle Mike and Pop designed this part all by themselves.

Home made Lamb and Veg

This afternoon mummy had a go at making me some baby moosh using her magic bullet and a reciepe she found on the internet. Mummy thought she did a good job but I beg to differ,

Wow all done

Well the christening is over, back to normal life now but first we all would like to say a huge Thank you to everyone that came and helped us to celebrate molly with us. It was a wonderful day Molly did extremely well, she was the only baby to have a little cry, but thats because mummy didnt put her down for nap time as the ceremony was at nap time. Most of the guests that attened the church came bak to nan and pops house. It was extremely hot but very nice. A huge thank you to Aunty Liz who helped us with the setting up and then the clean up. It was wonderful to see everyone that we havent been able to see for a while again. Mummy has put a new web album of some of her favourtie pictures on so please have a look because Molly just looks so cute.


Once again a huge Thanks to everyone that helps us to make Mollys day extra special

I thought this week would never end

This week has had to be the worst week that we have had. First the car broke, so I took it to a mechanic and got told that nothing was wrong with it so I took the car to a second mechanic who looked at it and told me I would need a new radiator. $350 and 4 days later I have a sort of working car. As I was getting over the stress of a broken car that is looking more like a $2000 job rather than my $500 you need brakes and tyres job. Molly has decided that this would be a good time to start cutting her second tooth even though the first hasn't finished. So Molly has been blocked up for the last three days, with temps going up and down the whole time. It has been a great experience for us as new parents. I love my new job as a mum but I will definatly next time read the fine print.

Finally bring the angel she is. Its tough being a baby.
