Out of the mouth of babes.

Kaisha was wrapped up in her towel after her bath tonight and I said something to her about having no arms. She replied "my arms have disappeared". What two year old can say disappeared!

Busy Days

Since our families are becoming more scattered I have decided that this is the best way to keep in touch with everyone. I will try and update weekly but no promise!
Currently Nick is still working as an Assistant Accountant.
I now work 3 days a week doing Research & Development for a natural skincare company. It is a challenge to formulate skincare using only natural ingredients so it keeps me on my toes.
Kaisha goes to a Montessori day care 3 days a week and loves it. In fact most mornings she pulls Nick out the door. She is a very articulate 2 year old and loves to talk and sing.

Here she is doing gardening this morning. We planted peas, carrots and flowers.

Coming soon....

Mel is looking to take over the main posting, after Nick has not posted for almost 2 years. Nick has changed the title, it is just a placeholder at the moment.

Watch this space.

July Videos

This video is of Kaisha looking at herself in the mirror. Even when she is sad it makes her giggle to look at herself.



This video is of Kaisha trying "real" food for the first time. It took awhile for her to get used to the texture and she pulled some hilarious faces but now she is gobbling up the food and opening her mouth for food when we eat.



This video is of Kaisha giggling. It was taken at the beginning of July when she was 6 1/2 months (4 1/2 months corrected age).

Kaisha Talking (well almost)

10.04.08

Kaisha is 8 weeks corrected age today, 4 months on saturday. She has slept from 10pm till 6am for the last two nights! Very exciting for me, the first decent sleep in months. I keep waking up in shock that it is light! Anyway here is a video I took today of kaisha watching her mobile. She always smiles at pooh, I think because he is wearing a red shirt.

Kaisha is now 3 and 3/4 months old. Corrected age 7 weeks. I dread the question how old is she as I never know what to say. If I do say 7 weeks they then ask how much she weighed when born so I have to explain the whole prem thing anyway. There is no easy answer. We had a great Easter. Anna, Geoff and Laura were here for the week before Easter, then Liz and Alton came for easter as well. So we had a full house and tent for a couple of days. Was great to have everyone around and Kaisha was totally spoilt. The Wood family left on Easter Monday and the rest of us went up to cotton tree for the week. Was lovely to get away although poor nick had to commute as he couldn't get time off. Kaisha enjoyed being held for the 3 weeks we had people here and got a bit of a shock on the day after the Bassetts left that if wasn't going to continue. It only took her a couple of days to get over it thankfully. Last week she moved from her bassinet into her big cot. She only takes up the end of it which is really cute and she had no problems sleeping in it which was a relief. Actually she has no problem sleeping wherever we are. We took her to an AFL game this weekend and she slept thru most of it. Nick thought we should go to an AFL game so he could figure out the rules. Kaisha is an Australian after all and might want to know one day. Personally I thought it was a bit of every game all mashed together.
Anyway to get to the most important part. Here are the latest photos.
