I can't begin to explain to everyone how sorry i am for the delay in this installment. I am officially announcing to the world that our lives are TOO BUSY!!!! Study is going well for me but it is crunch time and i have two assignments due tomorrow - wish me luck. Work is great but three days a week feels like ALOT.
Tim is well but busy with work and still travelling heaps. He is back playing soccer but is yet to make a game, he's enjoying training each week though. MND association is also keeping him busy. They have launched 'entertainment books' in tassie this year so we are both working hard to build up the awareness and get people buying them for .
I know what you all really want to hear about is our Miss Kate.
Well what can i say she is gorgeous...yes still! She is not yet crawling but quite mobile none the less. She cracked her fourth tooth yesterday oh and i locked her in the car two days ago. Yes to all you mums out there it is a nightmarish experience the minute you realise you've done it and the panic sets in. Luckily I was at my dear friend Kylie's place and together with Naomi we strategised how to get my most precious possession free from our little black hotbox. I could not stop hearing those tv ads that tell you children die in cars in minutes. With Ky's help i kept it together and finally after what felt like hours, but was only about 20 minutes. My knight in shining armour arrived in the taxi with his keys. We released our princess from the clutches of the evil black machine and the story ended sweatily, thirstily but never the less happily!
Now my knight in shining armour is revelling in the fact that i did this and not him as we both know for him the aftermath would be much worse....
With four teeth our gorgeous daughters face has changed, her grin is even cheekier and her laugh is infectious. She has started clapping, bopping to songs and doing a little irish jig when you hold her under her arms with her feet just touching the ground.
She is loving more and more her interaction with little friends - Naomi, Hannah, George, Pippa, James and of course her most beloved big friends Adelle & Jess (her daycare worker) whenever she sees any of these little and big people she starts flapping her arms and legs as if she's going to fly away and starts making an excited aaahh aaaahh noise. Wiht the little people they snatch and grab from each other, laugh and smile. Just last weekend KAte was laying her head on Naomi's back in a tender loving way and they were giggling away together on tuesday afternoon over nothing but each other (after i locked her in the car). Hannah thinks Kate is hilarious as she passes hannah a toy and then snatches it straight back. It is so nice to see this interaction and see how lovely natured she is.
The other thing that makes her giggle is tims 5 O'Clock shadow - he just rubs her hand or foot on his face and she giggles like a maniac.
I can procrastinate no more,
Enjoy the pics
lots of love to you all
xoxo Carolyn :)
