8 Months Old

Wriggle Bottom!

Megan is a wriggle bottom, it is like she has ants in her pants! She loves sitting up all the time now, when you hold her in a standing position she jumps (like she is in her jumperoo) and she is getting to the stage where she can push up on one arm into an almost sitting position, but not quite so gets quite frustrated....Mummy to the rescue! O and changing her nappy these days is a challenge!!

Sunshine & Time to Play

We had a great day in the garden today, the sunshine was just what we needed!

Sleepover

Megan had her first sleepover this weekend. Holly and Grace came to stay. We had a fun time and the girls were super helpful. They all slept in Megan's room and were well behaved. Gracie has a new name for Megan, she now calls her Twinkle-toes. Holly makes Megan crack up laughing with her funny noises. It's all very cute to watch!

7 Months Old

Megan is 7 months old today and it was also her first time on the swings at one of our local parks... She loved it!

Megan Sits Up On Her Own!

Look how clever Megan is, she can now sit up on her own with very little nose diving! It was only a few days ago that she could manage 20 seconds on her own and then fall to the side, now she can sit up, reach forward for her toys and balls and almost correct herself if she gets a bit lop-sided! Our super amazing baby girl :)

Two Teeth and Counting....

It has only been a matter of days since Megan's first tooth appeared and the runny nose started that the second tooth has just broken through. So Megan is the proud owner of two lovely little front bottom teeth.... It seems that the pain has subsided and our bubba is now sleeping through the night again (thank the lord, cause I am not sure I could have taken anymore broken sleep!). It is now a waiting game for the next round.

Growth Spurt

We cannot believe how our little girl has grown so big.... Megan was weighed on Monday and now weighs a whopping 16.5lbs a great arm and back work out for mummy!

Megan Loves Her Food

We are now at second stage weaning which means Megan's food is no longer puree smooth but now has lumps in! Her favourite seems to be cauliflower cheese, pasta stars with tomato & garlic sauce, vegetable stew and fromage frais. But she really doesn't like bananas, melon or swede!
