A quickie

Saturday, April 29th, 2006

The poo monkey has popped out to the shops with hubs, so I thought I would write up a quick post in between my oh-my-god-i-am-going-back-to-work-and-i-miss-my-baby-already tears. And the cooking. And the washing. Ain’t life grand and all that.
Yes, I am a bit freaked out about going back to work on Monday. Whilst […]

The good, the bad, and the ugly

Saturday, April 22nd, 2006

The good: The fact that my almost fifteen month old daughter loves a fart joke, or as we call them around here, bottom burps. She giggles everytime she lets one rip, especially in the bath when the bubbles cause her to squeal with delight. She now tries to do them deliberately, sucking […]

And so my darling girl, you are now fourteen months old. Where has the time gone?
You now weight a whopping 12.9 kg, and are 78 cm long…meaning you have grown 25 cm in length and quadrupled your weight since you were born. That simply spins your mummy out. Oh yeah, and with […]
