Happy 6 months Lily

This time 6 months ago I was just starting to push! In some ways it seems as though it has flown and in others it feels like lily has been around always.

she woke up today in a lovely happy mood, so she must have known that it was her 6 month birthday. Her sitting is going very well and she is really steady most of the time. She s leaning forward to get things and then will fall onto her tummy. I am anticipating that one day she will land on all fours and we will have a crawling baby. I must say I am gathering energy for it as she is into everything at the moment. If its in her line of vision she wants it so I will be running.

Her eating has gone down the tubes the last 2 days. dont know why but all her veggies have moved over "to the dark side" (to quote caroline) especially peas, it brought back memories of my brussel sprout days ( no mum you are not yet forgiven)

I am not pushing things though I will just persevere with it all.

I am also trying to introduce a sippy cup. thats another battle. she thinks I am mad, has no idea what to do with it.

so hopefully at next post we will be back on track with eating again.

I had a little photo shoot to celebrate lilys 6 months today and she loves it. Like father like daughter.

On a personal note I am missing everyone there in Cape Town terribly but I am happy to be back with Kristian here. i am feeling really tired actually perhaps due to my diet. I have cut back my food quite a lot ( for me) but I need the energy to keep up with a 6 month old baby. At about 4 in the afternoon I can just lay my head down and sleep. It awful. onwards and upwards...........

hope you are all well
