4 months!!

Hello all

Lily is now 4 months old . she is absolutely wonderful and changing every day. Its been a great month as we started swimming which tires her out no end. Its so funny as we swim . Well I hold her under her arms but she kicks her feet like mad. i cant get her to really laugh though its as though she is really concentrating. i dunked her under the water on friday but it did not go well. In fact i am surprised she still likes water as when we got home I gave her a bath in the big bath to wash off the pool water and it was slippy and she slipped onto her side that did not go down well either!!

Anyhow back at the pool as soon as we get out I dress her and myself and then have some tea and feed her. its takes all her energy to eat and then she is fast asleep.

we put up our christmas tree today which was lovely and Lily loved all the lights. I will post a piccie of her looking at them. we had a lovely walk today into Blackheath Village and she was all cosy in her hat and sleeping bag. she loves it. never slept a wink though. I ask all the other new mums I meet. how much sleep do you get in the day. All more than our Little Lily!!

I am so looking forward to our trip home to cape Town. Lily has her passport now so is all ready to travel. cant wait to have her meet all her new friends and to see her old ones. she has had a few Capetonian visitors. The greens and then Gavs mum Carol. we went shopping and she was really good except the trip home where she screamed ( sorry carol) this is a trick that she has learnt and its awful. shes good as gold all the way there but put her in the car to come home and she crys the whole way.

I have my baby rice at the ready to start weaning. Nana Michele bought her a bowl and the rice. we tried some and she sort of had it in her mouth . her feeding has been so good since that I dont think she needs it just yet. i am getting myself sorted to make all my organic veggie and fruit purees. I ope she likes them.

The oictures are Lily with her new passport and the one in her chair is her looking a the lights on the tree

love to all

wendy and lily
