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)

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.

Kaisha is now 11weeks old, corrected age 3 weeks. She has had an eventful week! On wednesday she had her first immunisations. Who knew she could scream so loud! She was fine once I got her in th car though and slept for most of th rest of the day. She weighed 4.3kg or 9 pounds 5. On thursday Kaisha started a growth spurt and fed every 2 hours for a couple of days.I'm only just recovering now. Today I was with a mothers group discussing teeth so thought I would show them a couple of teeth Kaisha has near the surface. Imagine my surprise to discover one of th teeth was through! And on sunday she gave us a gorgeous big smile. She hasn't repeated this but no wonder as she hasn't really had much to smile about. Below is a video nick took of Kaisha last week. Enjoy.

Hi
Melissa here. Now that I have learned how to update this I will try to do it more regularly. No promises though! We have had an eventful 3 weeks. We really enjoyed having Laura to stay although the weather wasn't so good. We didn't do too much, mostly just played with Kaisha. On the 14th we had a zero birthday party for Kaisha. Below is a picture of her with her cake. It was nearly as big as she is. On the 16th Andrea arrived for 10 days. We did lots of Shopping and a bit of swimming. Last weekend we went camping on the gold coast. A good idea in theory but when the temperature reaches 40 degrees not so fun! We had to leave the tent at 6:30am because it was so hot. We tried going to the beach but it was too hot for Kaisha so we went to the Campground pool instead. I left a packet of marshmallows in the tent and they melted into one large lump. It cooled down to a more comfortable 28 in the afternoon. I haven't weighed Kaisha yet this week but I'm guessing she is around 4kg now. You might notice a red dot between Kaisha's eyes. Its a strawberry birthmark. It will continue to grow as she does but should fade by the time she is 2. Enjoy the photos.
