It's been such a couple of weeks. Good busy but totally flat out would probably be a better catch phrase for the mischief that Myla and we got up to. The sunny side of Spring is beginning to peek out behind the fluffy cotton flossy clouds and we knocked a few ginger beer and fish 'n' chips lunch by Balmoral.
Our little chipmunk loves... no, adores hopelessly the beauty of trees. You got to be real cute to distract her from this intense focus on what are appearing to be her latest favourite things:
- Trees, the bigger the better. Bring out the big front;
- Tommy & Chewy wrestling;
- Blossom Bunny, her personal plush toy hanging beside her change table; and
- Mama & papa especially first thing in the morning!
It's a happy chaos with the dogs running amok and my nearly got rained on by possum pee but Myla keeps things interestingly fresh. It is really never a single dull day. And she's good to her mama, with plenty of time to rest up and she fits in when we need to get somewhere. We've caught up with plenty mums & bubs group catch up in the park, a baby rhyming session in our local library plus a lunch at the delicious Toshiya Japanese restaurant. We had fun doing up her nursery and adding more stuff to keep the poor kid interested during her tummy time (still lots of complains from the little one but a parent has got to do what a parent has got to do dear!).
She's learning to catch the Rugby WC 2011 with her papa and we were a bit worried that she was making funny smiley faces when the 'Boks were scoring. And she's got a few more yellow shirts to confirm our suspicion that she makes that colour that tad cuter by the day. And what more to brag about you ask? Well... not our fault but the grandparents miss her heaps!
Of course there is the new ever-changing cries and she does have a few versions of them in her bag. The latest being this high pitch scr-wail (somewhere in between a cute scream and a "manja" wail) when she protests getting her kit on (yes, her papa is quite worried that this little girl is developing a liking to taking her clothes off... permanently) but all is forgotten when she does her snow fairy dance in the bath tub or the play mat.
Plenty of smiles and coos. This girl is definitely learning to communicate plenty with her parents and other friendly passer-bys. Sure didn't hurt when she smiled at the laundry guy to fish out our dry-cleaning quickly. At times, we got so many of those heart-melting moments and the always there delightful light in her eyes when she recognises you walking into the room... we ask ourselves one remaining question:
IS IT WRONG TO LAUGH AT HER WHEN YOUR CHILD FRETS?
Take a look at this... breaks your heart but sure gets you falling off your seat laughing at just how cute she can be, even when she goes all FERAL on us!
