the house of sick

Hello all

What a week it been. On Sunday night I woke up with a shivering and shaking Kristian next to me. In my irrational state I thought he was trying to wake me. ( I have had a baby recently sleep is very important to me) Turns out he has developed a high fever. so my week has consisted of running around being nursemaid and trying to look after a 7 month old. This is no easy feat I must tell. i have got so used to Kristian helping out in the morning and the evening with lily that I am now exhausted after doing everything. I must take my hat off to single parents. Of course its of no help that I have no family and friends to help out... sigh...

Anyhoo, he is on the mend now so I am hoping the weekend will be good.

Lily and I went to see another South African friend this week. i have not seen her for years and know her through our neighbors the Sinclairs. It was lovely to chat to someone south African and Capetonian at that. She has a lovely 18 month old little boy called Connor who i so sweet. lily of course cried her eyes out when arriving with all the trimmings. ie. cue loads of mucus and battling to get breath. but I just sat her on my lap and gave her my pack of tissues which she loves and she settled down. When Connor brought her a piece of his puzzle (awwwwww) she smiled and started chatting to him and was then transfixed. poor little lily has not been out much this week so i will take her on an outing today as she has serious cabin fever.

she is loving playing with her little puzzle at the moment and peeking around the corner at things. she leans as far forward as possible and swivels her head. the yogis would be proud.

we have no teeth yet but the teething has stopped for a while( touches wood)

mostly she has become so social. she interacts with us so well and is truly a joy. she looks for attention all the time and loves a cuddle.

i will leave you with some photos of her puzzling
